2015 favorites
I neglected this meme last year, and I regret it, so I'm resurrecting it.
New Things (For Me) in 2015
Best Book
I read a LOT this year, mostly due to paperbackswap. There were quite a few excellent ones in there, but the best, hands down, was The Game of Kings by Dorothy Dunnett. Just gorgeous, smart, and fun.
Best Movie
PAN
I adored this movie. Imagine all the popular 19th century boys adventure stories, and this seemed to fit right in. It's all about the imagination of children. It's non-stop action adventure, with lots of snark, gorgeous colors. Just lots of fun.
As a runner up, I have to say: Spotlight
It was a really interesting look at the kind of old-school journalism that is fading fast from our world. Very serious topic treated seriously, but the script also had me laughing out loud in places, and the ensemble cast was amazing.
Best TV Show
Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries, seasons 1-3
Awesome. Amazing. Great mysteries, great cast, costumes to die for.
Best Podcast
Limetown is really amazing! Creepy and interesting with great production values.
Best Album
Hmm. The only music I bought this year were the Miss Fisher soundtracks. XD Really fun '20s jazz!
