The Books I Read in 2015
I remember how I realized at the end of last year how few books I have managed to read during that year. In fact I was even a little bit shocked about it. So something had to be done and I challenged myself to read at leas one book more during this year.
TL;DR Ā I managed, even though I still donāt read as much as I would like to. I planned to read a bit every day, and mostly I succeeded with that. Even though I can read everywhere with theĀ Kindle App Ā getting aĀ Kindle Paperwhite was a huge help for achieving my goal. It makes for a very nice reading experience.
Additionally I gave audiobooks Ā a more serious try and realized that I like it a lot, as it gives me the chance toĀ read Ā a book while going to work or walking the dog and such. I have linked to quite a few already and most of them are available both onĀ Spotify Ā andĀ Google Music.
But here now the list of books and audiobooks that I finished during this year:
Books
- Mary Roach: Packing for Mars
- Aaron Mahnke: Consumed
- Aaron Mahnke: Grave Suspicion
- Stephen King: 11.22.69

The Challenge
Naturally I will have to challenge myself again and try to, again, finish at least one more book than this year. Compared to last year I have doubled it during this year, but I donāt expect that to happen again. But hey,Ā seven books seems manageable.
I guess I will figure out in December 2016.
