Books in 2015.

Dear Reader,

A friend asked for a post of the books I'd read in 2015, and, as we wrapped up the last chapter of 2015 last night, I thought I would go ahead and post my 2015 reading list, assembled, of course, after the fact.

I really enjoyed each of my reading choices this year. A few authors appear more than once (hint: they are my favorite); a few books landed in my hands through recommendations or random interests that popped up over the course of the year. There's a little bit of everything!
