Laziness Abounds in 2015!!!

So I have discovered that I have too many hobbies!

I knit, I crochet, I paint, I read, I bake... I like to lay on the couch for endless hours and binge watch netflix, Downton Abbey, the West Wing etc... So my reading took a large hit this past year.  But, there is always 2016... Right?

Ok so to round of 2015 I ended my year with a total of 39 books... My worst showing in years.

25. Tick Tock - Michael Bennett #4.- James Patterson
I have to admit, when I first jumped into this series I was worried it would be too Alex Cross, but I like the Bennett clan!  Its a typical cop drama, but fast moving.

26. I, Michael Bennett - Michael Bennet #5 - James Patterson
See above

27. Palace of Treason - Jason Matthews
This is the second book of the series.  The first book I head heard about on NPR, and impluse kindle'd in the middle of the night.  It was SO good.  This book did not disappoint.  It moved all around the world, with the players from Red Sparrow returning.  I really hope he keeps the series going.  Its a post-Cold War CIA US vs Russia spy series.

28.  Falling For Her - Debbie Macomber
Sometimes you need a little goodness in your life :). I always like reading Debbie Macomber's feel good stories.

29.  Silver Linings - Debbie Macomber
This series, set in famed Cedar Cove has me worried.  I ended up leaving this book sad at the turn of events... I am hopeful the next book will turn it all around.  I mean really?  It has to have a happy ending right???

30.  The Chalet - Tara Sue Me
Total shitty fan fiction porn.  It screams Bella/Edward circa 50 Shades.  I have to admit Im very anti fanfiction - how is it not plagarism?

31.  Summer Secrets - Jane Green
I love that Jane Green's stories keep developing as she gets older.  Her stories take on ann older more grown up vibe.  Long gone are the days of Book Ends and Jemima J (two of my favorites).  These new novels take a serious tone and I love it.  This book was no exception.  Family drama times 1000 with a twisted yet predicted turn.  I look forward to her next creation!

32.  Gone - Michael Bennett #6 - James Patterson
See Above

33. Truth or Die - James Patterson
Eh - nothing to write home about

34.  Eleven on Top - Stephanie Plum #11 - Janet Evanovich
Jonathan and I have started listening to the unabridged audio of Stephanie Plum.  He is hooked and I love re-reading about my favorite Jersey Girl!

35.  Burn - Michael Bennett #7 - James Patterson
See above

36.  Twelve Shart - Stephanie Plum #13.- Janet Evanovich
Still funny. Still shaking my head at Lula

37.  Alert - Michael Bennett #8 - James Patterson
See above

38.  Lean Mean Thirteen - Stephanie Plum #13 - Janet Evanovich
See above

39.  A Paris Affair - Tatiana deRosnay & others
This was a look at people finding out their significant others were stepping out.  I cheered I gasped, it was a couple of hours and I do love short stories.

Thats it.  Thirtynine books to fill out 2015.

Goal for 2016 - 26
