my year in books

a recap:
2010: i read 15 books.
2011: i started my book challenge with the goal of reading 25 books; i read 38.
2012: year two of the challenge; i read 34 books.
2013: year three; i read 34 books again.
2014: year four; i read 32 books.
2015: year five; i read 35 books.

2015 broken down:
21 books written by women
14 by men

24 fiction books
11 nonfiction

7 diverse books (as in, the main character or the author is not white)

my favorite books of 2015?  deep down dark (nonfiction) - dear mr. you came in a close second - and the book thief (fiction). read these books!

on to 2016!  i'm going to do this reading challenge to guide my reading a little.  let's be frank: i have a ton of books on my "to read" list, so i don't really need a challenge like this, but i mean, look how fun it looks!  i love the idea of thinking about what books might fit what categories.  so i'm in.  i have started a little facebook group with other people who seem interested in playing along, so let me know if i should add you!
