My 2015 Reading Review

2015 was a pretty good reading year for me. I read 145 books (I know! Amazing, right?) which were mostly contemporaries. Other than that, I read quite a lot of series- 4 of them Fantasy, few Children and Non-Fiction books and 8 Classics.

I discovered many great authors and i hope to do more of that this year. I also read 5 poems. All of them were for school but i really enjoyed them.

Overall, it was a very satisfactory year. Here are 5 books and series that i loved the most in this year.

Book Review: Magnus Chase and the Sword of Summer by Rick Riordan

Genre: Young Adult, Fantasy
My Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars

Magnus Chase was sleeping peacefully under a bridge (or as peacefully as a homeless teenager can) when his friend Blitz kicked him awake and told him to run for his life. He meets his Uncle Randolph who informs him that his long-lost father is a Norse god. He doesn’t think things can get any weirder until he dies.
