On this final day of the year let\u2019s do some more looking back. The last time I posted books read was in 2011.<\/a> But that doesn\u2019t mean I stopped reading. On the contrary. <\/p>\n

Goodreads tells me I read 36 books in 2015<\/a>, which was the goal I set myself for this year. I will admit not all of these are big reads. Some are short pamphlets and there is also a comic or two thrown in. <\/p>\n

I think I am going to stick with this target for next year and I will also stick with reading widely. A few books were read because of a project at Hubbub<\/a> for which I felt the need to delve more deeply in the subject matter. This is a good way to stretch intellectually. I also started experimenting with asking people who know me personally what novel I should read next which has led to some delightful discoveries. So I will continue to do that too.<\/p>\n

Anyway, here they are in order of date read. Particular favourites are marked with a \u2764\ufe0f. I\u2019ve written short reviews for most of these so I\u2019ve provided links to those too.<\/p>\n
