@lovescats, I was just on Amazon and noticed a link to a list of the best books of 2015 so far and thought of your post. You can find the list here: http://amzn.to/1IcVj9w

They have the top 20 books and the categories, so the best children's books, the best cook books, etc. I can't copy and paste because of the format  they used, but go check it out.
