Oh my — so many good books this year that I can scarcely begin to select my favorites, but I will!
So here – in no particular order – are some of my favorite books that I read in 2015 (as it’s only Thanksgiving weekend now, I will try to add in any December reads as I come across them).
Most of these were published this year, but some were earlier and I just read them for the first time this year. Also, keep in mind that if I don’t like a book, I don’t finish it and then I don’t review it, so ALL the books on my blog I pretty much liked. The following are some of the ones that I love, love, loved:
