  3. My favorite non-book related part of 2015 was going to my cousin's wedding. I had a blast! Other than that, my favorite part was getting time to read, even though it was a really hectic year (given the wedding I mentioned earlier).

  4. My favorite part of 2015 would probably have to be this year's summer vacation from June to August. I had SO much fun reading, staying awake until 7 am, and doing it all over again. I was able to read 50 books in three months! I miss it so much, can't wait 'till next year! :D

  10. 2015 was a great year for me! I don't think I could pick a favorite part. I did well in school, I went to Ireland (!!!), my best friend and I became roommates, I joined a sorority, I started blogging again. It was all so wonderful! Here's to hoping 2016 treats me just as well.

  11. The best part of this year has to be when I went to the Roanoke Author Invasion and met Jennifer Armentrout and Wendy Higgins, or when I met Colleen Hoover at this book store in Cincinnati. I love all these authors, so I can't choose between them.

Loving life now, and greeting each day with a smile on my face!
