These are a few of my favourite things...Top Picks from 2015

If you had asked me at the beginning of 2015 whether I thought I would be able to read 50 books in a hear, I would've told you that you were crazy. To my surprise, I managed to enjoy over 65 books ranging from young adult novels to memoirs. I also tried to read more Canadian literature by participating in Random House Canada's Reading Bingo. I crossed off 13 of 24 squares. Definitely more than I thought I would get through. You can check out my Bingo card here.

Of the books I read, there were certainly a few that stuck out and graduated to my favourites pile. I tried to keep it to my top 5, which turned into 10, then ended with 15. The books are simply in the order that I read them. There's a book in this list for every reader and I highly recommend each one.
