Book Lust/List for 2015

I have used this category of posts over the past few years, mostly to avoid having to browse when I go to bookshops since I end up sinking large pockets of time, before crushing remorse sets in... NowI have this ruthless approach of pulling this post up, each time I want to shop and quickly checking if any of the books below are at the bookshop I am at. When they aren't, I just leave or so I think!
