The End of the Year Book Survey This is my second time participating in Jamie's End of the Year Book Survey and I'm so excited to wrap a great year of reading up!  If you're interesting in participating, simply pop over to Jamie's site, The Perpetual Page Turner , and check out the categories. 2015 Reading Stats Number of Books Read :  84 Number of Re-Reads :  2...I am not a big fan of re-reading books Genre Read the Most :  Literary Fiction Best in Books Best Book You Read Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell...because it made my heart so warm and fuzzy :) Book You Were Most Excited About, Thought You'd Love, But Didn't Carry On by Rainbow Rowell.  I had such high hopes and I was very disappointed... Most Surprising Read Golden Boy by Tara Sullivan.  I love this book so much! Book You "Pushed" People To Read Furiously Happy: A Funny Book About Horrible Things by Jenny Lawson.  Really, I push people to read either of Lawson's books...

The End of the Year Book Survey Jamie, over at The Perpetual Page-Turner (AWESOME BLOG!!), has been doing this year-in-review for several years now and I think it's such an awesome way to wrap up and reflect on how your reading went over the past year.  This is my first time participating in this book survey...but I doubt it will be my last. 2014 Reading Stats Number of Books Read:  69 Number of Rereads:  1 (I don't really like re-reading books...unless it's HP or something awesome) Genre You Read the Most From:  Literary/Historical Fiction Best in Books Best Book Read The House of Special Purpose by John Boyne.  This is a beautifully written, heartfelt novel set during the ruling of the Romanovs.  It's uniquely laid out and so good.  So good!

An A-Z Book Survey A fun little A-Z Book Survey hosted by Jamie @ The Perpetual Page Turner .  I love doing these because it allows me to share some of my favorite reads with my fellow bloggers...perhaps they'll discover something they haven't heard of.  I know that I always do!  Here we go! Author You've Read the Most Books From I think that would be Italo Calvino...a brilliant Italian writer.  A close second would probably be J.K. Rowling.  I do love me some Harry Potter!  Oh...wait.  Nora Roberts.  I've read nearly all of her books because they're quick and don't require much thought.  Best Sequel Ever This one is so difficult because there are so many great sequels, but I'm going to go with A Storm of Swords by George R.R. Martin.  It's the third book in the A Song of Fire and Ice series and it's so, so, so good!  So many shocking scenes and twists and turns!  Gah!  Cress by Marissa Meyer is also a ...
