I’ve decided to keep a list of the all the books I read in 2015 – the good, the bad, the downright embarrassing. All too often, I’m asked which books I most recently read, or to recommend books to friends. I love this, by the way. I could talk about books for hours. I understand that it’s not everyone’s favourite thing though, so my hope is that by keeping a list of the books of 2015, y’all can just turn here if you don’t want to listen to me go on at length. You’ll find the link to Books of 2015 in the categories column on the right hand side of the page.
Of course, I’ll review the stand-outs and the books getting a lot of buzz, but in the interests of keeping things from getting too repetitive around here, I won’t review everything I read. I’ll add books as I finish them, and list them out by month. If you’re looking to buy, I highly recommend The Book Depository. Of course, you should also support your local independent bookseller! But when times are tough, The Book Depository is the way to go.
