1. Best Book You Read In 2015?
Princess of the Midnight Ball by Jessica Day George, Amy and Roger's Epic Detour by Morgan Matson, The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah, To All the Boys I've Loved Before by Jenny Han, and Off the Page by Jodi Picoult. I never can have just one favorite. I will narrow it down in My Book of the Year Bracket Challenge coming soon.
2. Book You Were Excited About & Thought You Were Going To Love More But Didn’t?
I was super excited for The Orphan Queen by Jodi Meadows and I ended up really not enjoying this book and it put me into my huge reading slump that lasted until early December. I read throughout this reading slump, but much slower than usual. I loved Jodi Meadows Incarnate series, but this book just didn't have a whole lot going on and I wasn't able to keep up with what was going on very well. Some people loved this book, but it just wasn't for me.
3. Most surprising (in a good way or bad way) book you read?
The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah. I expected to love this book, but I didn't expect to get so emotional attached to the characters and learn so much about history from this book.
4. Book You “Pushed” The Most People To Read (And They Did)?
This year my sister pushed me to read To All the Boys I've Loved Before by Jenny Han and I did and I loved it.
5. Best series you started in 2015? Best Sequel of 2015? Best Series Ender of 2015?
Princess of the Midnight Ball by Jessica Day George is the best series I started and finished. I loved all three of these books.
6. Favorite new author you discovered in 2015?
Morgan Matson. I need to read more books by her.
7. Best book from a genre you don’t typically read/was out of your comfort zone?
A Step from Heaven by An Na. I had to read this book for my ESL class and I chose a short book, so if I didn't like it wouldn't take up too much reading time. I was pleasantly surprised to love this book.
8. Most action-packed/thrilling/unputdownable book of the year?

1. New favorite book blog you discovered in 2015?

Bookoutlet, enough said.

I completed majority of my reading challenges and goals for this year.
1. One Book You Didn’t Get To In 2015 But Will Be Your Number 1 Priority in 2016?
Last year I hoped to read Isla and the Happily Ever After by Stephanie Perkins and that never happened, so I will be sure to read that book in 2016. I would say my number one priority is going to be Winter by Marissa Meyer. I'm waiting (not so patiently) for my copy to come in at the library.
2. Book You Are Most Anticipating For 2016 (non-debut)?
Lady Midnight by Cassandra Clare (My goal is to read the Clockwork trilogy before this one comes out).
3. 2016 Debut You Are Most Anticipating?
I don't pay much attention to debuts, but I love when I find out that I'm reading a debut.
4. Series Ending/A Sequel You Are Most Anticipating in 2016?
To be truthful none. I haven't been keeping up with series.
5. One Thing You Hope To Accomplish Or Do In Your Reading/Blogging Life In 2016?
I hope to continue to read the books I want to read and enjoy reading. I'm heading into a very busy 2016 where I will finish up my last semester of classes before I begin student teaching in the fall.
6. A 2016 Release You’ve Already Read & Recommend To Everyone:
-I have not read any 2016 releases.
I am so looking forward to seeing everybody else's end of the year book survey because that TBR always needs more books (not).
