It’s that time of year again! Time to make our “top however many of whatever of the year” lists and post them on our blogs. As a writer, I am of course obligated to post my top books of 2015. I read a lot of books this year, but only eight of them really stood out for me.
A couple of these are old books that I just recently discovered and loved, but most are newer. Normally I read mostly fiction, but somehow my “best of” list this year is split equally between fiction and nonfiction. There is also such a variety of genres, I think there’s something on this list for everyone:
- Our Endless Numbered Days by Claire Fuller
- Born Survivors: Three Young Mothers and Their Extraordinary Story of Courage, Defiance, and Hope by Wendy Holden
- The Book of Speculation by Erika Swyler
- Dietland by Sarai Walker
- We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson
- Spinster: Making a Life of One’s Own by Kate Bolick
- The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins
- Plaintext by Nancy Mairs
I have compiled the individual book descriptions here for you in case you would like to learn more about the ones on my top 8 list. I’d love to review each of them for you, but alas, I just don’t have the time right now!
Friend me on Goodreads to see what else I’ve read this year or to read along with me throughout 2016.
