I'm on a reading spree! + Books I've read in 2015

After spending almost 2 years without reading a single book (between 2012 and 2014), I finally managed to snap out of it and started reading the first volume of The Fionavar Tapestry: The Summer Tree. It worked wonderfully to put an end to that reading slump. Since then, I've been on a reading spree, and I don't remember being this excited about reading since I read Harry Potter - and that's saying a lot. So I thought I'd share some of that and inspire you to start reading again/more/keep reading. Because books exist to be loved 

Disclaimer: whenever there are series starting in the middle, in the list below, it's because I had read the previous volumes on or before 2012, except for the Tapestry of Fionavar.

I hope you found some of these appealing, if you haven't read them yet. This list contains a mix of different genres, from non-fiction to high fantasy.

What books did you read in 2015? Let me know in the comments!

In case you're interested in knowing more about them, they can all be found on Goodreads, and I can also describe a particular book (spoiler free!) if asked in the comments.
