My Favourite Books of 2015

Reviews16

This one was amazing. It is about Owen Meanie who accidentally kills his best friend's mother in a baseball game. Yes, this is partly religious, but it is also mind-blowingly good.

Among OthersJo Walton
Loved it

I was very pleasantly surprised by this book. It is a fantasy book, but it's not heavy fantasy. It's more like a very cute story mingled with some fantasy elements.

this is the first book in the His Dark Material series by Philip Pullman. I loved it. I'm still in the process of completing the very last book in the trilogy, but I absolutely love it.

Northanger AbbeyJane Austen
Loved it

North Anger Abby by Jane Austin was one was one of my favorite classics of this year. She grows up and it's basically a life journey in just 250 something pages and it's extremely good.

The InterestingsMeg Wolitzer
Loved it

It doesn't sound like much, but it is absolutely amazing because that's why it's on my list. I really, really love this book and I really love this cover as well.

This is about a butler who takes some days off from work and then we follow him as he drives around the landscape, visits some friends, and that's it. But it's so good. Really, you have to trust me.

This one, as well as the first book in the Kingiller Chronicles series, The Name of the Wind, are so mind-blowing, I can't describe it. It's basically a fantasy series in which we follow Growth, who has had quite a remarkable life.

Loved it

This is basically a book about how the system doesn't always work for you and how things can go wrong in just a few months. And it's a very cool story, but it's very beautiful as well.
