Oh yeah, baby. This was the first year I've read more than 30 books and I'm feeling like a bad ass bitch queen. Obviously.
I really would like to get to a point where I'm reading around 45 books a year. That sounds like a lot, but I think it's doable if I prioritize reading. I didn't spend a ton of time reading this year and I managed to read 34 (and counting!) books, so I'm setting my hopes sky high. More on my 2016 reading goals later. For now, here's a list of the books I finished this year (if I wrote a review I'll link to it):
1. Wicked by Gregory Maguire
2. Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery
3. God is on the Cross: Reflections on Lent and Easter by Dietrich Bonhoeffer
4. And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie
5. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by J.K. Rowling (re-read, and I read this twice, actually)
6. The Book Thief by Markus Zusak
7. An Enemy of the People by Henrik Ibsen
8. Awaken the Spirit Within by Rebecca Rosen
9. Better Than Before by Gretchen Rubin
10. Seizing Your Divine Moment by Erwin Raphael McManus
11. Everything Happens Today by Jesse Browner

17. The Christmas Grandma Ran Away From Home by Nancy Warren
18. How to Attract Anyone, Anytime, Anyplace: The Smart Guide to Flirting by Susan Rabin

33. 2AM at the Cat's Pajamas by Marie-Helene Bertino
34. The Martian by Andy Weir
and I'm in the middle of Pride and Prejudice. When I finish that, I hope to finish The Great Divorce.
So for me, it was a pretty good year for books. Here's hoping I can reach 40 in 2016!
