How is it that we’ve come to the end of 2015 already? Crazy how time flies…Well, it’s December now, which means Jamie @ Perpetual Page-Turner is hosting her End of the Year Book Survey! 🙂 This is my favourite end-of-year survey (see my previous years’ entries) as it’s a great way to reflect and recap a year in one’s reading 😀
Please note: I’m still reading through to the end of the year, so while all the sections will be answered, I may go back and revise a few answers right through to the 31st 😉 Not to mention I hope I added all of the links correctly; there was a lot of code involved in this post xD
