Dust Jacket Reviews: Read in 2015

This year I want to focus on two areas I need to conquer- review books and my physical to-be-read mountain. It's not even a pile anymore. It's three piles and a shelf. I will also, of course, be participating in a reading bingo, since I love them so much. I don't think I managed too badly reading-wise in 2014, but I'm hoping to do better this year, even if it's only a few books extra.

My target is 85 novels.
