Some reads stay in your mind for longer than others.
Here are the books from 2015 that I'm still thinking about:
The book I couldn't put down:
I will not apologize for thoroughly enjoying this page turner.

The panic I felt reading this was visceral. Beware.
The book that didn't get nearly enough attention:
