I've found a couple of cool New Year lists on various social media sites that I'd like to note.
Reading Challenge 2015
I am HORRIBLE at setting goals for myself, because I don't think I've ever actually accomplished anything I've set out to do (except graduate from college, marry a guy with an accent, and have super cute kids). So, for me the idea of taking on a Reading Challenge is daunting. I think this one, from Popsugar, needs to be my first attempt, though. It comes with a handy dandy printable checklist, and even though the site's name is terrible, it's still a fine list. The hardest one for most to accomplish will be "A book that takes place in your hometown." Most will probably just have to settle on a book that takes place in the nearest big city (which for me means Chicago, St. Louis, or Indianapolis...oh, the options!).
27 of the Most Exciting New Books of 2015
Oh, Buzzfeed. Usually you're just the perfect time waster, full of lists nobody needs to pay attention to, but every once in awhile you have a gem worth noting (and not just secretly reading while hoping no one else looks over your shoulder). This list really does have some exciting and intriguing books coming out. There are too many potential good reads from the list to go on about now, but seriously, if you love smart, biting, cutting edge contemporary fiction, check out this list.
Epic Reads Instagram
This is my favorite Instagram feed...and I follow Robbie Williams, Jordan Knight, AND Jamie Oliver. It's total book porn. The photos inspire me to make my displays bigger, better, and brighter. It has made me view book photography as an art, and one that I want to do well. It's a gorgeous feed, and if you have IG, you should totally think about following it. (NOTE: They seem to have a mad crush on YA author Tahereh Mafi...like MAD CRUSH. They feature her books ALL THE TIME. Not complaining; just saying.)
Here is one of my faves before I go:
