I LOVE Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them! I used to be obsessed with Harry Potter ;) This was a great read, and something I've never seen before

DeleteThis was an interesting post, Hannah! That's some effort to edit and make those award certificates, I see. =)) But anyway, I'm glad for your best reads this year!

I was feeling creative and decided that I'd make the certificates. I'm not entirely happy with them, but it's something.
DeleteHappy 2016 to you too!
Ahh, I loved TABINOF too! It was one of my favourite books this year too, because it was so funny, and really picked me up. I haven't read many others from your lists, but I really want to read George, because it seem like such an important, but sweet book. Great post, Hannah - thanks for sharing! :D

Much appreciated!
DeleteI haven't read Rebecca, but I love all the classics on your list. From those, I would pick To Kill a Mockingbird as my favorite. I just love it so much (and I love the movie too).
ReplyDeleteI think the movie is one of the closest representations amongst literary adaptations!
DeleteThis is a great post!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed Paper Towns too and I love everything J.K. writes!

Thank-you.
DeleteLove this post!! I really like that I finally found someone that does book awards in base of what they've read that year!
ReplyDeleteAlso I love your layout!
Thank-you and thank-you!
DeleteLove Rebecca too! And have you seen the new Macbeth film? Wonderfully atmospheric!
ReplyDeleteI'm embarrassed that I didn't put anywhere near as much effort into my roundup post as you have done. The certificates are a fab idea :-)
Anyhow, these are my Top Ten Books of 2015
I haven't see the new mAcbeth film but I have watched one. I can't say which.
DeleteMore effort actually went into deciding which books I should include, but thank you!
This was so interesting to read and such a wonderful post idea ! You've definitely helped me stock up some reading plans for the new year ! This year I've loved, " The Act Of Being Normal " and "Trouble " They were both brilliant books :)
ReplyDeleteI love the new header by the way, the blog looks really professional now !
Lots of love, Marianne xxx

It's great to hear!
DeleteI am very guilty of only reading one book this year(I know how bad) but I absolutely loved it. It is Dark Places by Gillian Flynn who also wrote the book Gone Girl which is now a film. It was such a good crime/thriller read and I was engrossed with it for 4 days! Did you not enjoy Girl Online? I must admit I asked for it as a Christmas present when it first come out and when I recieved the book it was not what I was expecting so I never got round to reading it!

I'm not too interested in crime, but then agin I've never really given it a try past one or two books....
DeleteI absolutely hated Girl Online, you can read my review here (if you want)
