Favorite Books of 2015

Borrowed from: http://leedsbookclub.com/2013/12/31/happy-new-year/

So now that I’ve looked at how last year compared to my expectations, lets take a look at what I really loved and adored and was in raptures over. Since I am a re-reader, I am only going to feature things published in 2015. If you want to see my complete listing you can go here. These are categorized by my Goodreads rating for ease of use, and so may be a half star off my actual rating. A link means it was a surprise entry. And if there isn’t a link, it means I linked to it in yesterday’s post. And an “*” means I totally seriously recommend this to everyone and if you stand still too long I might accost you about it.

*Feel the Burn by G.A. Aiken

Garden of Lies by Amanda Quick

The Single Undead Moms Club by Molly Harper

I think perhaps that I am still grading a little “lightly” particularly for my old nostalgic favorite authors, and I really wish that Goodreads allowed half stars for better ranking. But all in all, a rather sucessful reading year for me.
