Best Books of 2015

So, as I'm writing my blog posts for the week last night, I realize that there's only 3 days left in the year, counting today!

  If YOU have been wanting to try Rodan+Fields as a Preferred Customer OR if you'd just like to place an order, now is the time. A new year is the perfect time for brand-new skin and a fresh start!



Along the same lines, if you've thought about going into business for yourself in 2016, Rodan+Fields has the freedom you're looking for.
I will answer any questions you have in a more-than-honest way :)

So, for the next person who places an order, I have a free Lip Microdermabrasion with your name on it. It's perfect if you're a lip product lover.

Onto books...

The Best of 2015....in 2015, I read over 70 books.  That was up from last year's goal. in 2014, I set a goal of 36 and read 52. This year, my goal had been 70. It's possible, obviously, for me to readreadread when I want to or when I have time to, but it stresses me out. I don't know why. It's probably my upholder tendency and the idea of "tightening" that does it. Therefore, for 2016, I'm not setting a number.  
Wait, that might be worse than not having an achieveable goal at all; I might try to beat my record and stress myself out even more.
I'm not sure how to go about this when I'm trying to find balance...thoughts?  Do you set reading goals? 

-------------------------------------------------------
These were my favorites and you can read more in this post.




The Sea of Tranquility-Quite possibly the most beautifully written book that I've come across.
One Plus One-My favorite Jojo Moyes book. Flawed characters and a great story.
Better Than Before-Self-help in figuring out why you do what you do.
The Girl on the Train-I really liked it. Nice and suspenseful. I recommend the audiobook...it was really well done.
Coming Clean-A fantastic memoir about growing up in a hoarder household. I still shudder at some of the details. 
The Storyteller-Terrific historical fiction. So many layers, even for a Picoult.
