I am hoping to at least double what I read in 2015, but I also want to play around with having strict months with set TBR piles and others where I play a little bookshelf roulette.
Looking ahead, I’m really excited for 2016. I often feel like I have to finish a book if I start it or have invested a lot of time into it, but these days, if something isn’t holding my attention, I’ll put it down for a while (or forever). Life isn’t going to slow down, and I’m not going to stop reading books, so I need to be willing to say no to a book sometimes when I am just not feeling it. While I didn’t finish as many books this year as I would have liked to, I learned an important lesson: it’s okay to be choosy about what I read. While my faith in reading never truly wavered, this book got me out of an awful reading funk. Heath pulls you in from page one and when you’re done, it’s like getting off a roller coaster, you’re still able to feel the experience long after it’s ended. Fortune 69 provides everything I want in a transgressive fiction novel - gritty and uncomfortable characters and scenarios with just enough realism to make everything seem realistic. While I do love Chuck Palahniuk and other popular transgressive authors, I thrive on finding the lesser known transgressive works and seeing how they shine. Fortune 69 by David HeathĮver since I discovered transgressive fiction in college, I’ve been hooked on it. Amanda Hocking fans would love this book. It’s whimsical, dark, full of fantasy and is a great introduction to the genre. I felt like I could not accomplish anything else unit I finished the book. While this book isn’t without it’s flaws, The Queen of the Tearling demanded my attention. The Queen of the Tearling (The Queen of the Tearling #1) by Ericka Johansen
My review for Volume 5 will be out soon on Word of the Nerd. What a testament to the genre and what it can accomplish. These graphic novels were amazing and jarring in ways few books are these days. Here are my top three and why I loved them: Twisted Dark Vol. Of everything I read this year, a few titles really stood out for me. This year, my work life got pretty busy, which is great, but it also meant I put a lot of my passion projects on the back burner.
Initially, I was a bit disappointed that I only managed to read 13 books this year (including graphic novels), but I’m not counting it as a loss. I would love to start this post by saying I read over 40 books in 2015, but that isn’t going to happen.
