THIS WEEK, WE’RE asking you about your favourite stuff of 2014.

You’ve already told us about the best TV programmes and albums of the past 12 months. But what about books? 

WHETHER YOU SPENT most of 2014 with your nose buried in a book, or occasionally picked up a bestseller, you’re bound to have a favourite read of the past 12 months.

The most talked about books this year included sporting biographies (Roy Keane and Brian O’Driscoll); young adult books by the likes of Louise O’Neill (Only Ever Yours); and history books (Man on the Bridge). Plus there were plenty of great Irish authors, new and established, publishing new fiction (Mary Costello, Colm Toibín, John Boyle).

What was your favourite book of 2014?

Here’s what piqued our interest this year…

Aoife Barry: Louise O’Neill – ‘Only Ever Yours’/ Eimear MacBride – ‘A Girl is a Half-Formed Thing’ (possibly cheating but it was published internationally this year…)
