For 2015 I made the goal to read 32 books. I always have a hard time figuring out how many books I want to read in a year because I never know how the year is going to go. So quite frankly I picked 32 at random.

It turned out that was an easy goal. I finished that goal in September. That meant the rest of the year I could read at whatever pace I wanted. I ended up reading 45 books total this year.

If you aren't on Goodreads or friends with me on Goodreads then you have no idea what I read, so I have a list of the books I read this year below.

I read a lot of series this year but my favorite stand-alone book is definitely It's You. I loved it.

Now we are into 2016 and I have started yet another Reading Challenge. Because we are adding another member of our family this year, I have decided to pull back on the number of books I plan to read. I have decided to go with 15 books this year.
