The Third Annual Top 25 Books Of 2015!
For the next 25 days we'll be counting down to Christmas with the Top 25 Books I've read this year. The book doesn't have to have been published this year. This list may include books I've read THIS year (re-reads, books published a few years ago, ARC's of books about to be published, etc. also count).
So let's get started!!

(On the Ropes #1)
By Aly Martinez
Sound is an abstract concept for most people. We spend our lives blocking out the static in order to focus on what we believe is important. But what if, when the clarity fades into silence, it's the obscure background noise that you would give anything to hold on to?I've always been a fighter. With parents who barely managed to stay out of jail and two little brothers who narrowly avoided foster care, I became skilled at dodging the punches life threw at me. Growing up, I didn’t have anything I could call my own, but from the moment I met Eliza Reynolds, she was always mine. I became utterly addicted to her and the escape from reality we provided each other. Throughout the years, she had boyfriends and I had girlfriends, but there wasn't a single night that I didn’t hear her voice.You see, meeting the love of my life at age thirteen was never part of my plan. However, neither was gradually going deaf at the age of twenty-one.They both happened anyway.Now, I'm on the ropes during the toughest battles of my life.Fighting for my career.Fighting the impending silence.Fighting for her.
Every night, just before falling asleep, she sighs as a final conscious breath leaves her.
I think that's the sound I'll miss the most.Each book in this series can be read as a standalone.
