This year’s Annual Poll results are finally here. We thank the many many readers who responded to our survey.

When I look back at my favorite reads of 2015, most have one thing in common. They were published before 2015.

I chose The Legend of Lyon Redmond by Julie Anne Long. (Our DIK review is here.) as my favorite book of the year. Here are the rest of my favorites (in alphabetical order by author last name): Last Chance Llama Ranch by Hilary Fields. This is a fun and quirky story of what happens when…
