2015 was not a great year of reading for me. There were books I enjoyed, some I enjoyed quite a bit (The Girl With All the Gifts, A Constellation of Vital Phenomena, all of the psychological thrillers)... but 2015 was a year of huge transition for me.

I know that when I am experiencing a lot of change/challenges/stress, I don't get as much out of what I read. It's harder to focus, when so much of my energy is going into other things.

And...it is what it is. I'm looking forward to 2016!

Thanks for stopping by! Be sure to check out this blog's Facebook page... NOT The New York Times Book Review. Happy reading!
