2015 Favorites

Here we are – my final 2015 wrap up post: my non-bookish favorites. I did this same post last year and I just enjoy making these lists so much, I figured I’d do it again. There’s more to my life than just books, after all. 🙂

Top 10 TV Series of 2015

As always, I watch a lot of series. I also spent quite some time binging series in 2015 – and I didn’t start as many new series… But this is the list of the top 10 series that rocked my world in 2015 – some old, some new.

1. The Newsroom: Rewatched at least twice. Yeah, it’s still my favorite.
2. Card Captor Sakura: A long overdue rewatch. ALL of the feels. My fave anime (possibly ever).
3. The Royals: This show is COMPLETE CRACK, but oh so good. WATCH IT.
4. Nashville: Consistently good, still. It brings me to tears so often.
5. The West Wing: Total series binge in the fall. Sorkin fan for life!!
6. Agent Carter: PEGGY IS QUEEN.
7. Game of Thrones: Nope, nope, nope. Still not okay.
8. Suits: Season 5 has been SO GOOD.
9. Brooklyn Nine-Nine: I don’t usually go for “stupid” humor, but Andy Samberg = pricless.
10. Legend of the Seeker: Total crack fantasy, but damn I shipped it.

Top 10 (New-To-Me) Movies of 2015

I did a lot better at watching movies in 2015 and I definitely found some new favorites.

1. Big Hero 6: Perfect movie was absolutely perfect.
2. Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens: Mindblowingly good. OMG. It surpassed all my (really high) expectations.
3. Avengers: Age of Ultron: Marvel is always awesome, basically.
4. Cinderella (2015): SUCH INTENSE feels – particularly father-daughter ones. I usually don’t care for Cinderella, but this was flawless.
5. Maleficent: Such an original take on the story – and visually STUNNING.
6. Saphirblau: I watched sans subtitles, which wasn’t great, but still. THE FEELS.
7. Intouchables: I am epically behind, I know, but woah. This movie deserves the hype.
8. The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2: A lot better than I expected. Sad to say goodbye to such a fave series.
9. The DUFF: Despite the changes from the book, this was still super fun.
10. Christmas with Holly: YEAH, a Christmas movie, but you know what? I loved it.

And at the absolute bottom of the list? Fifty Shades of Grey.

Top 10 Songs of 2015

Music is kind of a hard category – because seriously how many songs do I listen to each year? I limited this list to one song per artist. I feel like that’s the only way to keep the whole list from being Justin Bieber be fair.

1. The Feeling by Justin Bieber
2. Fourth of July by Fall Out Boy
3. Sugar by Robin Schulz
4. Cool for the Summer by Demi Lovato
5. One Last Time by Ariana Grande
6. Love Me Like You Do by MAX & Madilyn Bailey
7. Warriors by Imagine Dragons
8. Burnin’ Up by Jessie Jay
9. Hero by Måns Zelmerlöw
10. Lush Life by Zara Larsson
