    The Best Books I Read This Year (2015)

    I haven’t posted in a long time, but I figured with the end of the year coming up, I’d post a list of my favorite books I’ve read this year! Some of them I reviewed earlier on, while others I haven’t. I figured I’d do this list because I’ve read a lot this year: 135 books and still counting (the year isn’t over yet!). Some of these were published this year, but some weren’t. If you’re looking for some interesting books to read, check them out!

    Let me know in the comments of any of your favorite books you’ve read this year. I love recommendations!
