Books Read in 2015

And so we come once again to the end of a year and the beginning of a new one, which means it’s time to look back at what we read in the past twelve months. As a mail carrier, I got to do a lot of driving during the days of 2015 and squeezed in a lot of audiobook reading. My goal for 2015 was to get more nonfiction read, which I did, and to up my books by female authors, which I also managed to do. Unsurprisingly, my ebooks read also went up. Below is a quick tally for these three categories.

Nonfiction: 7

Books by female authors: 12

Ebooks: 14
