Best of… 2015 Nominees

It’s that time of year once again where we pick our favourites from this past year and share them with you in hopes of getting something into your hands that you might not have picked up before. There are lots of great books, creators and publishers out there and they all deserve recognition (and we certainly try every week with our reviews) but these are some of the ones that we believe stand just a little taller than the rest.
