Today I’m posting my top 10 list of favourite books for 2015 – these may not be books published in 2015 but are chosen from amongst those I read  this year.

Before I begin I must say that I’ve had a fantastic year in books which is a combination of maybe becoming a bit better at making my choices and also having a lot of rather brilliant blogger buddies whose opinions I trust.  This definitely makes for a very happy reader!  This list was very difficult to make, given the above, choosing 10 books from almost 120 is not easy but after consideration these are my choices (in no particular order):

1. The Liar’s Key by Mark Lawrence
2. Twelve Kings by Bradley P Beaulieu
3. The Shards of Heaven by Michael Livingston
4. The Just City by Jo Walton
5. Golden Son by Pierce Brown
6. The Iron Ghost by Jen Williams
7. Flex by Ferrett Steinmetz
8. The Mechanical by Ian Tregillis
9. Dreamer’s Pool by Juliet Marillier
10. The Grace of Kings by Ken Liu

I feel that I should also make a special mention, purely by way of cheating and adding a few extra books into the mix, for :

1. Murder by Sarah Pinborough
2. Midnight’s Silence by Teresa Frohock
3. Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo
4. The Girl with Ghost Eyes by M H Boroson
5. When We Were Animals by Joshua Gaylord

A big hearty thank you to all the wonderful authors out there.  A warm round of applause to the publishers and a massive virtual hug to all the bloggers out there who have lent me your ear this year, for all your advice and support and for being awesome.

I wish all good things for all of you for 2016 : here’s hoping for lots of good books and good health 😀
