2015 Book Recap


2015 has been a fantastic reading year for me. In many ways. I started off the year with a Goodreads goal of 80 books, which is A LOT for me. I usually don't read that many books per year. I met that goal before the year was even half over. So I raised my goal to 110 books. I surpassed that with a whopping 177 books read this year. WOW! Here is my Goodreads 2015 year in books.


In 2016 I won't be focusing again on how many books I read. Instead I will be doing my Insane Genre Challenge, info can be found here Insane Genre Challenge, and soon I will be making a Goodreads group for the challenge for anyone who wants to join in! 

Here are some books of note for me that I read in 2015:

The Locke & Key series got me started on graphic novels! I read the first one in the series mid 2014, but I didn't pick up the second one until the beginning of this year. 


The Black Butler series got me started on mangas!! I found out I like some anime this year and Black Butler was so good that I had to give the mangas a shot. 


I found CoHo!! Her writing is so addicting and I hope I get to read more by her in 2016. 


I read all of the books in The Selection Series, The Lunar Chronicles Series, The Madman's Daughter Series, and The Daughter of Smoke and Bone Series.

I finished The Mortal Instruments Series and The Infernal Devices Series. 

I read the first one in the Lux Series and I can't wait to finish that series! 

I started The Fever Series and I'm reading on them now. 


Of course there were a few books that I didn't like. Some of those were: The Passenger, Sugar Skulls, Paper Dolls, Bliss, and A Thousand Nights. 


I didn't have ONE favorite book that I read in 2015. I had many and here are a few of those: Darkfever, Obsidian, Daughter of Smoke & Bone, Clockwork Angel, Everything, Everything, ACOTAR, Uprooted, Slammed, Remember Mia, A Man Called Ove, Ugly Love, Cinder, Eleanor & Park, The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath, The Troop, and Wuthering Heights. Any series on here I am including all of the ones I have read in that series. 


Overall I think I had a pretty fabulous year of reading. I found so many new books (and types of books!) to enjoy and love. I started blogging and made a bunch of new friends. It's been pretty amazing book-wise and I can't wait to see what books I discover in 2016. 

How did your book reading go in 2015? Did you complete any challenges? Find new favorites? Didn't read as much as you wanted to? Let me know in the comments!

Happy New Year and I hope you all have a great 2016!!!
