I didn't read as much, as I would have liked in 2015, so I didn't even come close to my Goodreads 2015 reading challenge goals. There were no books, that I rated 5 stars this year, but there were ones I really enjoyed.
Really liked:
Girl on the Train - I also enjoyed it more than Gone Girl
The Nightingale - I couldn't stop thinking about it after I read it, but it felt a little short of 5 stars for me. Hmm maybe I should reconsider my rating
All the Light we Cannot See - I liked the Nightingale better, but still enjoyed this one.
600 Hours of Edward - This was a good read, although I tired a little of the Dragnet references
The House we Grew Up In - What a depressing book! It kept me company on a day I was sick and I ended up reading it all in one day. So I guess I really liked it!
I have to add the two Lisa Genova books I read, as Still Alice is one of my favorite books:
Love Anthony - liked but didn't love
Inside the O'Briens - Was a little disappointed in this one. I wish some of the children were better developed characters.
I had no real duds, but I can't make myself continue with After You and I don't want my avoiding this book, keep me from reading other books that I might enjoy more. I can't read more than one book at the same time, as I can barely keep up with one!
