The Books of BEA 2015

I love BEA for so many reasons, but I'd be lying if I didn't say discovering new books is one of the best! This year was no exception and I attended quite a few book-related events where I found some exciting new reads. This content could probably be divided into a few days' posts to ensure I give proper attention each and every book, but I'm just going to list those that I have to read. You can click on the titles for more details about the books.

You got some nice books! I missed out on Dietland. I didn't love the new Richard Ford book, I hope you have better luck. And there are some there I've never heard of (must look them up)
