Bring on 2016!! While I am sad to see 2015 go, I am excited to see what the new year holds for amazing books! I didn't have the easiest time this year when it came to enjoying new reads, often times I ended up just rereading an oldie but goodie. Heck, my slump was so bad, I didn't even meet my Goodreads goal of 125 books. Which makes me even more thankful for the books I did adore the hell out of. In that moment, they reminded me why I love to read; there was no way I could narrow them down any more than I already did. Check out the books that found their way into my heart.

I have probably read over 325 books this year so it is so hard to make a favorites list. For some of the series that I am addicted to I only included either the first or my favorite book of the series that came out this year, but for some series there were multiples I loved in this review period. I have some authors that are just my "go to" authors and I read and love most of their books, so if they already had a book or two on this list, I might not have listed the others. There is just no way to list all of the books that touched me or made me laugh this year. I'll be honest as I look at Rachel's list I see ones that I also really loved and could add to my list as well. So between all three of us all we have covered some really great reads from this year.

As usual, the prospect of selecting favorite reads of the year is a daunting effort. Once again, I read nearly 300 books for the year (this number is low compared to the last 2 years) and enjoyed the vast majority of the books I read. I love looking back on my year in books to notice trends in my reading habits and tastes.
In many of these cases, I read and loved multiple books in a particular series but only included one or two in this list. There are so many other books I could have included here -- this year was a good one for my reading list!
