2015 Favorites

This is just something I felt like doing because... why only recognize 15 of the best books I read in a year? There are so many possible categories I can use to show you other books I loved as well, instead of just all-around favorites. So here's the Top 15 of 2015, if you want to see that. If you already saw that and want to know about MORE books (because really, who doesn't?), keep reading! I'm trying not to have repeats, but there will probably be some. Because there are so freaking many categories!
