\"Logo_4x4_gold_encircled_seal\"<\/a>Yes! I got my 2015 Sonderbooks Stand-outs<\/a> posted before the finish of New Year’s Day, 2016.<\/p>\n

Each year’s Sonderbooks Stand-outs is a personal list. They are simply the books that stand out in my mind after a year of reading. Then I rank them according to how much I love them — which seems a little unfair. I assure you that I love every one of the listed books!<\/p>\n

I keep a spreadsheet of the books I read and hope I didn’t leave anything important out. Here are the stats for this year:<\/p>\n

In 2015, I read:
\n6 rereads.
\n16 Teen Fiction books.
\n36 Children’s Fiction books.
\n20 Adult Fiction books.
\n47 Nonfiction books.
\n95 Children’s Nonfiction books (Many of those were picture books).
\n626 Picture Books. (Hey, I was a Cybils judge in the Fiction Picture Books category<\/a> this year.)<\/p>\n

A grand total of 220 books, not counting picture books (except nonfiction) and 846 books altogether. <\/p>\n

Not bad. I didn’t feel like I was keeping up as well with current books this year, since I didn’t attend Capitol Choices<\/a>, but hey, I’ve read picture books!<\/p>\n

I still have a backlog of 30 book reviews which I wrote in 2015 and still need to post, but only two of those are Stand-outs. I will update the pages of the Stand-out books in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, enjoy reading about my favorite books<\/a>!<\/p>\n
