End of the Year Wrap UP AKA (some of) My Favorites of 2015

I've been looking at all these other blogs with end of the year best. Best Ten, Top Five, etc etc. Well me, I can't do that. I cannot pick 5 or 10 books and call it good. SO Instead I broke down into categories and listed anywhere from 3 to 5 authors OR books that I'd recommend from those that I read this year. Not your typical end of year post... but it's what works for me. In no particular order or importance. I've linked all of my choices either to the authors Goodreads page where you can see their entire backlist OR to the books direct amazon page.



 Complex or Damaged Characters

 These are the authors who right the best complex or Damaged characters. The ones with flaws or have made huge mistakes or bad decisions or any number of other issues but you can’t help but fall in love with them and enjoy their stories as they try to change their lives.

 Debut Authors to keep watching

 These Authors released their first book in 2015. Though a couple of them have released more than one book in 2015 it was their debut novels that I read first and made me fall in love with their writing styles. I look forward to reading more of what they have to offer in 2016.
