Favorites of 2015
Once again I tried, but failed, to reduce my favorites list to ten. Many of my perennial favorite authors are on the list, as well as a few new additions. Hence, here are my top twelve books of 2015, plus one novella I loved too much to leave out. (The link to the title at Amazon follows the Amazon logo by each title, and my review links are listed after each blurb.)
