From Books, Audiobooks to Book Covers
Its
Scattered Thoughts and Rogue Words Best of 2015
Happy New Year! Looking back over 2015 I’m amazed at all the changes here and marvelous tales that came to our door. I’m thinking about the new reviewers we’ve added, all the wonderful books we’ve read, new authors we’ve discovered, and the way Scattered Thoughts and Rogue Words has grown in this past year. Along with new reviewers, came new columns like Paul’s Paranormal Portfolio (his New Year’s edition is posted today), our Author Discovery along with all our author interviews and guest posts.
As the market for audiobooks has increased so has our reviews. Even a audiobook virgin like myself jumped into the format and found that I enjoyed it immensely. What a surprise…for me!
I hope 2016 brings a new look to Scattered Thoughts and Rogue Words, a few new reviewers to help us read more, listen to, review more about the thing we love…books! I hope we find more new authors to discover, and more ways in which to write about them and the writing process.
But before we move forward, we’re going to look back at the books and covers we loved best. So here are some of our favorites. Free Dreamer is traveling, and Paul was working on his Paranormal Portfolio but some of the rest of us had our lists ready. Are some of yours among them? Which ones do you think we left out? And are there new discoveries among those we love so much? Check out our Best Books and Covers of 2015 below…
