Good Reads Best Books of 2015

I love the beginning of a new year because it means all the “best of” lists from the previous year come out! You all know I love to read so I was excited to check out the Good Reads Best Books of 2015. Chances are you’ve read a few of these but since they have books in a variety of categories, there are probably some unfamiliar titles.

I mostly read Fiction, Mystery/Thrillers and Historical Fiction so many of the books on this list are new to me. I will definitly check out the Mindy Kaling Book and I’ll probably read a few of the others too! There are definitely some great ideas to add to your Kindle queue!

    Top of my list for 2015 would have to be Tara’s Halls from Tom Gallagher.
    If you enjoy reading biographies and memoirs, this really is a must-read.
    From a large, struggling family on an Irish farm to a well educated and successful career life in the United States, Tom Gallagher’s story is emotional, inspirational, charming and bursting with Irish wit. I really can’t recommend this one highly enough.
