Our reading together suffered somewhat over this past year, as it has become more and more difficult to find blocks of time when both I and my listeners are available. Given our barista's work schedule and our ballerina's dancing regimen, in addition to the usual church and school routines, we weren't able to read as many books as in previous years. Nevertheless, we still made it through three dozen books together, and, as our custom has been, we recently voted on our favorite books (or series of books) of those that we read and heard in 2015. So, here follows the top dozen in order of preference (note that there were ties for third and ninth place):
