Okay, I went through my Amazon history, so I'm doing this in order, starting in January 2015:
City of Thieves (David Benioff) Stern Men (Elizabeth Gilbert) A Little Life (Hanya Yanagihara) What Comes Next and How to Like It (Abigail Thomas) We Are Not Ourselves (Matthew Thomas) The Truth According to Us (Annie Barrows) The Girls (Lori Lansens) The Pecan Man (Cassie Dandridge Selleck)
PS. I might have missed some that I took out (in paper) from my "liberry." My memory sucks.
According to my Goodreads challenge I've read 27 books thus far but I've only thoroughly enjoyed a few:
- Gillian Flynn "Gone Girl" (read it without knowing what the movie was about and enjoyed it) - I read her other two right after and they were decent reads
- Stieg Larsson's Millennium series "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" and the other books in the series
- Ken Follett's "Pillars of the Earth" and "World Without End" were my absolute favorites

I just saw this movie last night. Do you know if the ending is the same in both because the movie ending was awful.
I read this book 2 - 3 years ago (also loved it) so can I assume we are talking about favorite books we read in 2015 rather than favorite books released in 2015?
Favorites read in 2015:
The Train to Crystal City: FDR's Secret Prisoner Exchange Program and America's Only Family Internment Camp During World War II - Jan Jarboe Russell
Lindbergh - A. Scott Berg
The Silencing: How The Left Is Killing Free Speech - Kirsten Powers
The Underground Girls of Kabul: In Search of a Hidden Resistance in Afghanistan - Jenny Nordberg
I read or started a few I wouldn't call favorites.

Yes…anything that you read in 2015 that you would call a favorite.
BTW, thanks for a couple of new ones for my TR list.

Both endings were very similar if not the same but I think it came off better in print - it's more detailed and it played out a lot better in my head than it did onscreen.
