My Books Of The Year 2015
I read a lot of great books this year. They were thought-provoking, educational and downright fascinating! Some of them are review copies I received from publishers for free, but I never let that influence my opinions of the book. Most of them are older books, but are still relevant.
If you missed any of my book reviews and literary discussions, here are the links to them.

One of my new year’s resolutions for 2016 is to read even more books and review them here. There will be a mix of new and older books. I like re-reading older, classic books because they are still so relevant to many social and political conversations we have today. I have a bookcase and a Kindle full of books I just haven’t gotten around to reading, but I will do better in the new year. Stay tuned!
