Booking Through Thursday '2015 Favourites'

Booking Through Thursday is a weekly meme hosted byBooking Through Thursday and a different question is posted every week.

What were your favorite books of 2015?
How many books did you read this year? Are you happy with the amount of reading you got done? Wish you’d had more time? (I know I always do!)

I found so many new authors and new favourite books this year.
I will actually have a Top 10 Books of 2015 video going up on my YouTube Channel tomorrow.
But to name a few favourites-

Vision in Silver by Anne Bishop

Hades Hangmen series by Tillie Cole

Sweet Home/Carillo Boys series by Tillie Cole

Raze by Tillie Cole (see a theme there?)

Queen of Shadows by Sarah J. Maas

Hero by Samantha Young

Me Before You by Jojo Moyes

Beyond the Kingdoms by Chris Colfer

I've currently read 100 books this year, might be able to squeeze in one more before tonight is done.
I am happy with the amount of reading I got done, but it is down on the last couple of years.  But as long as I make 100 I'm happy.
I always wish there was more time for reading than there is.

""You don't know me, girl,"
"I know your work...more than anyone else, I know your work..."
Aliyana.  Damn Aliyana Lucia for getting in my fucking head.
From the minute I'd seen her two nights ago in the gallery, catching me by the marble angel, I'd been shocked speechless.
I'd never seen any chick look like her.  I'd never seen anyone with eyes that bright, hair that dark or a smile that fucking blinding."

What I Got For Christmas 2015

Pun Direction by Stewart Francis

Hardcover: 224 pages

• Publisher: Headline (10 Oct. 2013)
• ISBN-10: 075536578X
• ISBN-13: 978-0755365784

Packed full of hilarious one-liners and cartoons, this is the first book from Mock The Week and
Live At The Apollo favorite Stewart Francis. "I was standing in the park today wondering, why does a Frisbee appear larger the closer it gets? And then it hit me." Stewart Francis is the king of the smart one-liner, the brilliantly crafted, often punning gag delivered in his trademark deadpan style. In this, his first book, he presents 500 of his funniest, most perfectly formed gags as well as exclusive new jokes and quirky cartoons.



Little bit of a different review today- I'm reviewing a joke book.
Stewart Francis is one of my all time favourite comedians- I really appreciate a good one liner.  The kind of joke you can easily repeat to someone.
It's going to be hard to review a jopke book, because people's sense of humour is subjective.  What one person finds funny, another could find stupid.  Which of course could be said for anything.
But the easiest thing to say is;
If you like Stewart Francis as a comedian, you'll love this book.  It's full of his most iconic jokes, and even some you might not have heard before.  As well as funny doodles.
If you've never heard of Stuart Francis but love one liners and puns- you might still love this one.
It's not the sort of book to read in one go, pick up and read bits at a time, but it was a fun read that I loved.

5/5 stars.
