        Hello and how are you guys? I hope you all are having a good afternoon. I have had a pretty calm Sunday myself! We all stayed at home which was peaceful!     So I have a few reading updates for you guys and more than one book review this time! I hope you guys enjoy reading this article because it is going to be a pretty long one. With that being said, let's get started! Title: The Nightmare Before Christmas : The Battle For Pumpkin King Author: Dan Conner Genre: Manga Pages: 128 Rating: 3 stars Synopsis: Years ago, Jack and Oogie Boogie were close friends. Both eager to prove themselves, they poured all of their passion into their fantastical projects to earn their rightful place as the scariest duo in town! But there could only be one Pumpkin King! What could have turned to such great friends into bitter rivals? My thoughts on the book: This book was ok . It's illustrations are really good and the story is decent. It was nice to be reading a manga again because it'

My Bookish Life: Spooky season TBR!

      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 clubs pick for the month of October!

My Bookish Life Book Review: Louder Than Hell : An Oral History of Heavy Metal

    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

My Bookish Life: My August TBR

    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'm

My Bookish Life Book Review: Milk & Honey

       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 that just wasn't mem
