So, 2015 wasn't my best year for reading, but it wasn't my worst either. My selections were all over the place and I tried to hit different genres. Station Eleven was by far my favorite book of the year and About Grace my least favorite.
1. Dark Places by Gillian Flynn - The book was ok. The movie adaptation looks terrible. I just wouldn't have cast Charlize Theron in that role.
2. The Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton
3. Yes, please! by Amy Poehler - I listened to the audiobook and I love when celebs narrate their own books. The guest readers made it even more amazing.
4. Life After Life by Kate Atkinson - Entertainment Weekly touted this as one of the best books of 2014. I thought it was just ok.
5. In One Person by John Irving
6. All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr - The "it" book of the year. I loved that the chapters were short so it felt like I read a lot more than I really had each sitting.
7. We are Water by Wally Lamb
8. Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel - Set in Michigan (!) and dealing with life after a flu virus wiped out 98% of the world. I absolutely loved this book.
9. About Grace by Anthony Doerr - The was nothing like All the Light We Cannot See and it dragged.
10. The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins - Quick, entertaining read. Emily Blunt is starring in the movie adaptation.
11. Why Not Me? by Mindy Kaling - I find her super relatable and entertaining.
12. Black Chalk by Christopher Yates
13. Pines by Blake Crouch - This is the first in a trilogy. The TV show Wayward Pines with Matt Dillon is based on the books.
Heading out on my honeymoon, I'm bringing fun, trashy books. Any suggestions for must-reads in 2016?
