Across the Internets, everyone — librarians, teachers, newspapers, journals, my next door neighbor, and your grocer’s cat — is compiling their “Best of 2015” book lists. We decided to take it one step further and compile a “Best of Best of 2015 Books Book List” (try saying that three times)! #BOBO2BBL could be a thing, right?
