    Books Read in 2015

    Books read in 2015

     

    Well, I managed to read a respectable 65 books this year.  Most of the non fiction books were audible books that I listen to while I drive, so that always helps my numbers.  For the most part I was successful in choosing good books, which is why my ratings are usually fairly high.  I'm hoping to continue with about the same number of books next year.  If you are on GoodReads, I'd love it if you friend me, I love keeping up with everyone through their reviews!  (Post contains affiliate links).

      OMG, I'm embassed that you read my blog...LOL I'm going to have to copy and print your list. There are a lot of books on there that I have never heard of and I like your rating systems...numbers instead of writing about them...You give me something to aspire to...or feel bad about because I'd never make this money...hey, maybe I'll start counting the books I read to the kids...
      Good for you Pam...I really love your passion but more than that I love that you gave yourself permission to spend the time. I did take to heart what you said on my blog about how you find the time...I'm trying to get there ...
      Oh, I do belong to Goodreads but I don't post there much...Maybe I'll even do better at that this year...
      Happy Sunday...I'm going to grab my book, put on a fire and maybe have a bit of Southern Comfort...rainy and windy here...Have a great week.
