Books of 2015
Jan. 15th, 2016 01:06 pmFinally, here is my list of books read in 2015! Most of these you can find a review of by following my bookblogging tag, or looking on GoodReads, but I'm also always open to questions.
I read a total of 107 books last year, which is almost exactly what I read last year (108). And I would have gotten up to match it, but people keeping talking to me on New Year's Eve, and so I didn't quite finish the last book until after midnight. 61 were written or edited by women (57%), 21 by people of color (19.6%), and 9 were rereads (8.4%). Ugh, those are low numbers for women and authors of color, which is partly because I spent a lot of time reading long series by white dudes (Craig Johnson's Longmire series and Terry Pratchett's Discworld in particular). But still. I need to work on that next year.
I also came nowhere near my goal of reducing the number of unread books on my shelves, and in fact my pile of books I've bought but not read is even bigger than it was last January. So I'm going to work on that too!

I've got a fun book meme I'm planning to do too, but this post is already long enough, so I think I'll save it for tomorrow.
