In a fit of cleaning things up on my phone I somehow deleted my ongoing list of books read in 2015. I was sad but you know what? I have had a lot of bigger disappointments in my life and this is a very minor one. So I don’t have a complete list. So what? I am getting over it.
But I do have a partial list on Goodreads and I will share that with you today. My goal this year was 100 books and I fell woefully short on that goal although I did read more than this list indicates. I just was not always good at writing them down this year. I think the whole moving from Iowa and moving out of another house in Alabama took a toll on my reading time this year. In 2016 I hope to get back to reading as much as I did in 2014.
Here are some of the books I managed to read in 2015. I would love to hear if we have any in common and if so which ones and what you thought of them. If you have suggestions of what I need to add to my growing to read list just let me know in the comments! Remember all the comments count towards our Comments for a Cause!
