Books 2015

This was an usual year for me in my reading habits. I still read about the same number of books overall but it appears I mostly read fiction this year with on only eight non-ficiton books and just one biography. Normally I read a more balanced selection between those three categories.  Fourteen books were in the science fiction or dystopian genres and seven in the crime/detective/spy genres which is also a little unusual for me.
