Books Read in 2015

It is hard to believe that 2015 is ending and so ends another year of reading. I set a goal of 120 books and I read 115. Here is a break down of what I read along with my list for 2015.

• The Bible - from Isaiah to Revelation, I read through Psalms and Proverbs twice.
• Fiction books - 84
• Non-fiction books - 31
• I also read over 200 picture books to my youngest daughter which I think makes up for my 5 missing books.
• Out of the books read 24 were audio books and 9 were read-alouds (marked with *) with all or most of my kids.
• I also read all the books on my Reading Goals for 2015 list.
