First let me say welcome to my blog, you good-looking reader you! I look forward to our many adventures together discussing books and stories. In 2015 I read 100 books. Truthfully I hadn’t planned on reading this amount. I simply had a fair amount of downtime living on a ship combined with an Amazon Kindle.

For now, here’s a list of the books I read in 2015. If anyone wants a post on any of these specific books, leave a comment below!
