I read 85 books this year and really suffered through a lot of [what i felt were] mediocre titles. bleh. I was slightly deflated when I looked back through the year and realized that I had only rated a handful of books with 5 stars. many of which were middle grade genre that I read with my 9 year old son.
so my favorites list is really tiny. but here goes....
my favorite read of 2015 :
Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo
a truly terrific cast of characters! fantastic world building featuring some wonderfully unique magic/fantasty factors.
who doesn't love a great caper?! such an entertaining read... 4.5 stars!
other highlights:
The Museum of Literary Souls by John Connolly
a short story [less than a 100 pages] that i read back March and still find myself thinking about. loved! 5 stars
Life in Outer Space by Melissa Keil
a new to me author with a wonderfully quirky writing style. fun to read... 4.5 stars
The Invention of Wings by Sue Monk Kidd
a must read title to have under your belt. 4 stars.
When You Reach Me by Rebecca Stead
a middle grade title read with my 9 year old son.
we absolutely loved this book. every. little. detail. 5 stars.
