In reply to Katie @ Doing Dewey. Yeah Katie : The Indifferent Stars Above is definitely unsettling in parts, not easy to read. I'm glad you liked Lean In -- at least it raised interesting food-for-thought so to speak.

In reply to Michelle. Thanks Michelle. Yeah 2015 turned out to be a good one! Let's hope 2016 is as well.

Out of your best of nonfiction list, I’ve only read Lean In, which I really enjoyed too! I’d also like to pick up The Indifferent Stars Above. I’ve only heard good things about and the story seems fascinating, if a bit macabre 🙂

It looks like you read some amazing books, saw some even better movies and listened to great music. I can’t think of a better way to spend the year. I hope your 2016 is just as successful!

In reply to Rachel. Exactly Rachel, I don't have time for coloring either! What did you think of the Steve Jobs movie? A lot of dialogue right?! Fassbender is pretty awesome. I think I might see Carol this week.

In reply to Anne @HeadFullofBooks. Oh good Anne. I think you'll find it intriguing. I'm still fascinated by the Pioneers who journeyed across the country then. The story of the Donner Party is tragic.

Looks like you had a great year! I try to see all of the movie nominated for Best Picture and I’m way behind this year. The only movie I’ve seen that might possibly be nominated is Steve Jobs. Nominations come out Friday!

The adult coloring book trend is not for me. I know it’s supposed to be relaxing but I would be thinking about all the things I need to get done and could be doing if I wasn’t coloring!

I just placed a hold on the audiobook of The Indifferent Stars Above: The Harrowing Saga of the Donner Party by Daniel James Brown. I loved his book, Boys in the Boat so I will take your recommendation. Happy New Year.

In reply to Laurel-Rain Snow.

Yeah Laurel — The Dinner novel is quite a doozy — good; you should get it. Glad you liked Carol — I hope to see it. I might rent Learning to Drive on pay-per-view. I think it’s available now. Maybe that film is from 2014? I have so many left to see!
