FAVORITES OF 2015
As I wrapped up 2015, I wanted to take a look back at several things, My Most Read Authors of the Year and my favorites. When thinking of all the outstanding books I read this year, I first took a look at my Favorites by Month. Then I tried to narrow down my favorite. That wasn’t possible because my internal dialogue went something like this: “This one!” “No, definitely this one.” “Well, but this was outstanding.” My indecision means I can’t narrow down my favorite book of the year, but rather my Top 15 Books of the Year. (Cop out? eh, maybe, but I put the blame solely on the authors.) My Favorite Series of the Year was much easier to discern. There were others that were so good, I had to mention them. There were many “quote-worthy” quotes this year, and I found a few that really stood out to me, Some Favorite Quotes. Don’t miss the giveaway and a link to my friend’s Favorites Lists –

SOME FAVORITE QUOTES
“Maybe it’s okay to no longer be the person we thought we were meant to be. Maybe it’s okay to just be who we are now and accept that.”
Brittainy C. Cherry, Art & Soul
“He looked like a whisper sounds. Sweet, gentle and romantic. It was making me dizzy”
Brittainy C. Cherry, Art & Soul
“His kisses tasted like forever soaked in always.”
Brittainy C. Cherry, Loving Mr. Daniels
“Being scared was nothing to be ashamed of. It was how you reacted to that fear that mattered. Cowards run. Men stand up.”
Emma Chase, Overruled
“Chelsea can walk into any damn den she wants. Because I am the lion. And I’d make sure I was with her.”
Emma Chase, Appealed
“But if you truly own her, own her heart, if she is truly yours, abandoned to you, you cannot discard her. She is where she belongs, hence the ownership.” “Possessions don’t have thoughts or feelings; they’re inanimate objects.” “Ah, but the women are never inanimate, not the way I do it.”
Penny Reid, Ninja at First Sight
“Nothing was worse than a handsome guy who became an ignorant toad when he spoke.”
Penny Reid, Love Hacked
