2015 was a great year for reading in our house. We listened to a lot of great audio books as we drove around, and in September we started a new bedtime routine that involves reading a chapter book together for half an hour or so after dinner. Unfortunately we didn’t start that sooner or the list would be significantly longer. So without further ado, and in no particular order, here are the chapter books we read and listened to in 2015:
