We have come full circle to another year’s end and there have been so many awesome memories made and books read! I was fortunate to attend so many different signings and meet so many of my favorite authors, fellow bloggers, and book friends. If 2015 was this great, I can only expect that 2016 will be even better!

These are just a few of the awesome people I was about to meet in 2015! It was like I checked off half of my book nerd bucket list in a short amount of time and made so many new memories and fabulous friends along the way!

So let’s do some best of 2015 for BOOKS! It was tough to make my list of top books this year. I came up Tina’s Top 25 in 2015. But I added one that I finished reading after I made my list in the last days of 2015… so it is more like Tina’s Top 25+1 of 2015. In no particular order here are the winners (and I grouped a few books in a series together as well… it may be cheating but I make my own rules. ha) Without further ado, I give you my top reads of 2015!

And I wanted to highlight a few of the authors I found in 2015! I found so many this past year and even had the honor of meeting many of them. My original list had 7 different authors but I whittled it down to 2 you need to know if you don’t already! Check them out…

Cheers to a great year and welcome to a new one! I am excited to see what 2016 holds. I hope you have an awesome time celebrating the holiday and ushering in 2016!
