My Bookish Life

      Hello and how are you guys! I hope you have all been really good! I have been really good but, also really busy! I know I haven't been posting on here much and I wish I could post on here more often. Maybe it will happen when my crazy life slows down!      I am getting in the spooky season mood and because of that I put together a super spooky TBR for the next two months! I have gotten most of these off my own home library shelf so it also counts as me reading from my backlist! I think I have a pretty good mix of books on here and I can't wait to talk about it with all of you! 1. The Nightmare Before Christmas: The Battle For Pumpkin King    I saw this comic at the store recently and just had to get it! It's one of only two new buys in this TBR. I confess I have already read this one, I just haven't had time to get the review up! I will hopefully have the review up in a day or two. 2. Demon Copperhead    This is my library book clu...

         Hello and how are you all doing today? I hope all of you are having a good day. My day has been pretty good! I have mostly been resting before the busy week starts back up. So, it's been a pretty good day !    Now, the day is almost over, and I still want to work on my blog some before I go to bed. I have actually been done reading this book for a week or so now. So yeah, it's about time I get this review up! Plus, I have to post my fall TBR soon! So, without farther delay let's do this review!

   Hello and how are you guys doing? I hope you all had a good day! I had a pretty good day myself. My husband and I did some more decorating for Halloween. We are almost done we just have a little bit more decorating to do. Then, we went to his parents for dinner which was really nice.     I have to work tomorrow so I want to finish out today by posting a book review that I have been wanting to publish for a minute. I just got me some milk and I'm ready to get into this book review. I hope it turns out to be a really good read because I really like this book!

    Hello and how are you all doing? I know it's been a while since I have posted on my blog. I still want to do it but, my life is just really crazy right now. I do want to start posting more often though and I do have two (counting this one) book reviews coming up in the next few days.    I have had this last book read for a few days now but, my life has just been so crazy that I haven't been able to review it. I have to say this is a really long book and another reason why it's been a minute since you have heard from me. That and I'm reading another book for a completely different review. So let's get to talking about the book that's the subject of this review though.  Title: Louder Than Hell: The Definitive Oral History of Heavy Metal Author: Jon Wiederhorn & Katherine Truman Genre: Nonfiction Pages: 736 Rating: 3 stars Synopsis: This book uses hundreds of interviews to tell the definitive history of heavy metal. My thoughts on the book: I like books abo...

    Hello friends! I hope all of you are having a good morning. I just made some coffee and I'm starting to wake up. I know I haven't been consistent with my book blog recently but, my life has just been really busy lately. That being said I have put together my TBR for August and I'm excited about it!     I hope this coffee will get me awake soon! It might take two cups this morning! This one isn't being very effective. So anyways let's get on with discussing my TBR for August!  First up we have Louder Than Hell : The Definitive Oral History of Metal by Jon Wiederhorn & Katherine Turman. I have wanted to read this one for a while because I really love music. Since I had to get it from the library I have already started reading it. It's really good so far. It kind of reads like one long interview with a lot of different bands. It starts in the 70s and works it's way up to more modern times.  After that we have The First Commandment by Brad Thor. I'...

       Hello and how are you all doing? I hope you are having a good day. My day has been alright. I have mostly just been at the house cleaning. So yeah nothing has really happened today.    My husband is cooking dinner and while he cooks dinner I want to try to finish my blog work for the weekend. I am going to get a drink and then I will be starting on this. I hope I can make it a good one. Title: Milk & Honey Author: Rupi Kaur Genre: Poetry Pages: 208 Rating: 2 stars Synopsis: Milk & Honey is a collection of poetry and prose about survival. About the experience of violence, abuse, love, loss, and femineity. My thought's on the book: Ok this is probably going to be controversial but, I didn't love this book. I know it gets a lot of good reviews but, this one just didn't grab me. I was disappointed in that too because I really thought it had potential because it sounded good.   To be honest I think her words fell flat. That lead to writing th...
