THE DBR AWARDS | My Year In Books

Hello, readers! I thought that since it's a brand new year and 2016 is set to be the best yet, I would start a new feature as a way to bring in the new year! I've been so, so lucky this year to have read so many amazing books that I will remember forever, and I thought I could celebrate this by writing a blog post about my top books I've read in 2015. 

Hence, the DBR awards!

It was EXTREMELY hard to whittle 64 books down into 10 top favourites (as I have loved nearly all of the books I read this year!), especially with the many amazing book projects and awards I have blogged about this year, such as the YA Book Prize and World Book Night. However, I finally managed it, and here are the 2015 DBR Awards winners! I have linked my review (if I wrote one) below, so you can check out my thoughts :) If I didn't write a review, then I will link the Goodreads page so you can check out the book.
