#AMonthOfFaves: Most Memorable Book of 2015

amonthoffaveshome

I’ve read a lot of books in 2015- some have been memorable for many reasons. Good, not so great and a recent just terrible. Some have been even GREAT!

I had an idea of one book I wanted to write about today- but due to a weekend of Christmas shopping and my niece’s birthday party- I just didn’t get all my thoughts together (and I reallllllly want to share ALL my thoughts on this book!) So, today’s post is created on the fly- and I hope you like it!

Be sure and check out Tanya @ Girlxoxo and Andi @Estella’s Revenge for their posts!

Hello and welcome to day 1 of #AMonthOfFaves! Hope all of ya’ll have digested the Thanksgiving dinners and are ready to welcome December with big open arms 🙂 Give a big wave to co-host, Andi @ Estella’s Revenge and creator of #AMonthOfFaves Tanya @ GirlXOXO.

Number of books read so far, genre you read the most from, picture of favorite (or most often used) reading location, most read author, % eBooks, hardcovers, paperbacks and/or audiobooks, hint at what your favorite read of the year is (let us guess), types of books you wish you read more of, month you read the most and least)

 

For my stats, I just headed over to Goodreads (I know there are people who really get into their stats- and well, I’m into them- but I feel like I need at least another 6 hours in the day to keep track of my stats- as well as another pair of hands!) So.. Goodreads is my stat keeper!

 

Books Read:

111 (as I write this blog post- however I’m in the middle of DISCRETION by Allison Leotta- and will finish it soon!) Continue reading →

This way I can leave it will good memories and eagerly await it’s return next December (you are totes doing this again next December- right Tanya @ Girlxoxo?!) This has been a fun month- getting to know Tanya and Andi @ Estella’s Revenge better. Getting to know you participants in #amonthoffaves better. Actively adding more blogs to my bloglovin’ reader. Thank you all for the fantastic month!

The prompt for today is 5 Fave Posts from 2014 (and the linkup is down below!). Of course, knowing me- I am a rule breaker- so instead of 5, I’m choosing 7! Continue reading →
