2015 End of the Year Survey

The Annual End of Year Book Survey was created by Jamie @ The Perpetual Page Turner. 

Number of Books I have read:

Before I answer this I have to explain that the number of books I read for myself is less than the number of books listed as read for the year on Goodreads because I counted in quite a few children's picture books that I read to my daughter. I wouldn't bother adding picture books but I've started working my way through the '1001 Books To Read Before You Grow Up' list.
 So, 
Goodreads total as of December 27, 2015
121

Total number of books I read for myself:
36

Number of re-reads:
0 that weren't picture books

Top Ten Tuesday #59

Top Ten Most Anticipated Releases For the First Half of 2016

I read the extended excerpt offered by NetGalley and I cannot wait to finish it!

Stacking the Shelves #48 {Christmas Edition}

I hope everyone had a great holiday! 

Purchased

Of course the only books I buy anymore are for my daughter. She has a ton of books already but I just can't help myself when they are so darn cheap! The most expensive one was $4. 

Won

Gifted

My husband surprised me with 4 adult coloring books! The Time Garden and 3 of the "Wonders" Color Art books that are sold in Walmarts and that I couldn't find on Goodreads for a pic. Not that I have any time for coloring yet but I suppose when my daughter starts coloring I can too. 

Top Ten Tuesday #58

Top Ten Books I'd Love for Santa to Leave Under My Tree This Year

Yes, fad or not, I want some adult coloring books! 

I'd absolutely love the illustrated version of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone to read to my daughter! The pictures would help keep her interest since she is so young. 

Yes, MORE Harry Potter! I'd love to have this in my cook book collection! 

I still do not have a copy of this or any after this one so I still have not started the Throne of Glass series. :(

I saw this beauty at Barnes & Noble the last time I was there and really want it. I'm pretty sure it was purple though. And maybe slightly different. I'm not positive. 

If this is anything like 'The Invention of Hugo Cabret' I definitely want it on my shelves. 

Rick Riordan's books are really fun and I enjoy reading every single one of them! I'd love to have all of his books to pass on to my daughter! I can see some mythology filled discussions in the future! 

I have a few of the other books in this series and would love to start it before the tv series begins.
