A Library Girl's Familiar Diversions: Best of 2015

As far as the stuff I read goes, my "best" lists include things I gave 5 and 4.5 stars to, although I'll include some lower starred honorable mentions that, for one reason or another, I still feel good about.

As far as the stuff I watched goes, my "best" lists will be based on gut feeling. Like I said in my "2015 in numbers" post, I barely kept any stats. I hope to change that in 2016.

Best Books:

Yukikaze by Chohei Kambayashi
Ancillary Justice by Ann Leckie
Ancillary Sword by Ann Leckie
Ancillary Mercy by Ann Leckie
The Twelve Kingdoms, Vol. 2: Sea of Wind by Fuyumi Ono (a reread, not reviewed in 2015, but here's my review from 2014)
Radiance by Grace Draven

Honorable Mention:

The Martian by Andy Weir

Best Shorter Works (Novellas and Short Stories)

The Legend of the Morning Star by Elizabeth McCoy

Honorable Mention:

Toad Words and Other Stories (anthology) by T. Kingfisher

Best Graphic Novels (Manga, etc.):

A series is listed if one or more volumes got 4.5 or 5 stars. This may not mean that I think the whole series is that good, but I'm listing them by series anyway, because I am lazy. It actually worked out pretty well - the only one on the list I feel iffy about is Circus and Liar's Game.
