Reflecting on 2015 Books

Well 2015 has been a great reading year for me and in a way its difficult to pick out books read this year that were my favourites - so many. Giving honourable mention to the ones below, but they in no way exhaust the list! About 208 books read altogether.

Such a great year of reading and I haven't mentioned even some of my other favourites by squeezing them in somewhere!

Thank you to all the reading bloggers that have expanded my list of authors I enjoy and want to read more from. Anticipating all the good books that 2016 will bring.

  4. What fantastic lists! I love Emilie Richards but have been neglecting her lately. The good thing is there are probably lots of books to catch up on! I discovered Sarah Addison Allen this year and fell in love and pretty much every author on your list that I haven't read is on my TBR.

  7. 200 plus books ... wow Kathryn, you had an awesome year and What a great list! Many in common this year and Looking For Me, The One Plus One and The Language of Flowers made my favourite's list in previous years. Gee it was a fantastic year in audio, I had difficulty stopping at what I put up and I only read 90 books lol.
    4 of the 5 off your debut list are on my list for next year ... here's to another wonderful year of reading and sharing the book love :)

    1. I think we have so much in common because I usually love most of what your like! We part at historical fiction somewhat but not entirely. I am going to try one of the audios in 2016 I know you adored and I am scared but determined to listen to!

  8. A great reading year for you Kathryn! The Nightingale and If You Only Knew will be on my list as well. I am currently listening to The Martian and won't finish before the end of the year and know right now it will be on my favorite is list of 2016.

    1. Yeah isn't The Martian really good on audio. It took me out of my comfort zone at the start but then that's what reading challenges can do and what a joy to find I loved it.

  12. Looks like you had a great reading year!

    I've only read a few of your top choices - like The Martian and The Language of Flowers (I enjoyed them both, too). I loved another Kristin Hannah book so really want to read The Nightingale.

    Hope 2016 is another wonderful year of books for you!
