9 Great Books That Came Out in 2015 You Should Finally Read Over Holiday Break

Somehow, Black Chalk didn't land on my 2015 radar until just now — but now that it has, it's at the top of my Thanksgiving break to-read list. Why? Mostly because it seems the number one rule of reading Black Chalk is not to talk about reading Black Chalk. Every cryptic review of the book I've read plays obnoxiously coy about the mystery at the heart of the novel, which only makes me want to find out what it is even more. What I do know? It's about a group of college freshmen who get caught up in a game with consequences much greater than they ever expected . . . and I plan to find out just exactly what they are.
