When one has a blog called "A Room With Books And Music," one must discuss one's books. Here's a sampling of my favorites in 2015:
1. The Classical Style: Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, by Charles Rosen
2. Creativity, Inc.: Overcoming the Unseen Forces That Stand in the Way of True Inspiration, by Ed Catmul (president of Pixar)
3. Scripture and the Authority of God: How to Read the Bible Today, by N.T. Wright
4. Live Dead Joy: 365 Days of Living and Dying with Jesus, by Dick Brogden
5. The Bush Always Burns: Jesus in the Unnanounced Moments of Life, by Heath Adamson
6. A Circle of Quiet, by Madeleine L'engle
7. Is Everyone Hanging Out With Me? by Mindy Kaling (This is the first book that I ever read purely for the laughs.)
8. The Phantom Tollbooth, by Norton Juster (because sometimes you just need to read a childhood favorite again as an adult)
9. Never Let Me Go, by Kazuo Ishiguro
10. The Island of the Day Before, by Umberto Eco
Bonus. Secret Garden: An Inky Treasure Hunt and Colouring Book + Enchanted Forest: An Inky Quest and Colouring Book, by Johanna Basford. For the record, I had coloring books as an adult before it was cool to have coloring books as an adult. But, nothing I had compares with what has come out in the past few years. These 2015 acquisitions will be my 2016 escape.
What were some of your favorite books in 2015?
