Silver White Winters that Melt into Springs
All over the interwebs, folks are compiling their "Best Books of 2015" lists, so I thought I'd put together my own retrospective. In no particular order, here are my favorites of the books I read in 2015:

The Cambridge Companion to Science Fiction by Edward James
Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood
Can't We Talk about Something More Pleasant? by Roz Chast

The Essential Dykes to Watch Out For by Alison Bechdel
Are You My Mother? by Alison Bechdel
The Folded Clock: A Diary by Heidi Julavits
The Argonauts by Maggie Nelson

Apparently, I was particularly smitten with comics and graphic literature this year, with memoir, poetry, and science fiction rounding out most of the rest of the list. For the full scoop on my 2015 reads, including many more books that I enjoyed, check out my Year in Books. Happy 2016, y'all!
