This was such a huge year in the book world for me. I started my Bookstagram page “All Encompassing Books” in January, and started my blog at the end of Spring. By mid-Summer I was officially proofreading for authors and getting paid for what I love – reading books!

I have built some incredible relationships with authors, bookstagrammers, bloggers, PR reps, and avid book lovers. I am so thankful for this group of people who have become close friends and are so accepting!

I read 169 books this year – the most by far of any other year. Over 50 of those were 5 Stars!! I am amazed with these authors and how they challenge me, inspire me, and make me dream. I have read everything from Young Adult to Dark to Taboo and Suspense, and have loved every moment of it.

Here are only some of my favorites this year….
