Books I read in 2015:
• Be Your Own CFO
• Eneas Africanus
• West with the Night
• The Making of a Marchioness
• An Uncommon Soldier : The Civil War Letters of Sarah Rosetta Wakeman, alias Private Lyons Wakeman ...
• I Could Pee on This and Other Poems by Cats
• One Thousand White Women
• The 6-Figure Newsletter
• Watchmen
• Before He Wakes
• The Sinister Pig
• Mansfield Park
• A Nice Derangement of Epitaphs
• The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks

• Cure for the Common Life
• Navajos Wear Nikes
I started reading, but didn’t finish:
• 24 Hours That Changed the World
• Women, Work, and the Art of Savoir Faire
• Lady Almina and the Real Downton Abbey
My favorites tended to nonfiction: West with the Night – grab-you-by-the-collar writing by pioneer aviatrix Beryl Markham; An Uncommon Soldier – letters home from a farm girl who passed as a man to join the Union Army; Be Your Own CFO – guide to personal finance by J.D. Roth; Before He Wakes – true crime based in my own county; The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks – balanced interweaving of science, historical biography and personal memoir; and Navajos Wear Nikes – memoir of a Pennsylvania boy who spent his adolescence on the reservation.
