My Bookish Life

    Tomorrow is the last day of the month so I thought I would go ahead and post my reading wrap up for this month. It hasn't been a bad reading month but some of the books were better than others. Without further ado lets get into this break down.    The first book I read this month was The Rise of the Fourth Reich by Jim Marrs. I didn't particularly like this one . It actually kinda bogged me down.                          Pages: 439             Rating: I think I gave it 2.5 stars                   After that I read Sleep Writer by Keith Robinson. It's a YA sci-fi type of book and I thought it was a pretty fun read. It was one of the better books I've read this month.                    Pages: 206                 ...

       Hello everyone! I hope all of you are having a merry Christmas! I know I had a really good one!     I think I want to start this article off by talking about some books that I got for Christmas. Then after that I'm going to review The Drawing of The Three by Stephen King. So let's get started! 1. Given to me by : My mother-in-law Title: The Institute Author : Stephen King Synopsis: The playground was surrounded by a chain link fence at least ten feet high, and Luke saw cameras peering down at two of the corners. They were dusty, as if they hadn't been cleaned in a while . Beyond the fence there was nothing but forest, mostly pines... Whatever the Institute was, it was in the middle of an over grown forest, which meant in the middle of nowhere. As for the play ground itself, Luke's first thought was that if there was ever a prison yard for kids between the ages of six and sixteen, it would look exactly like this. Thoughts on the g...

          Before everything gets crazy again I wanted to wish all my readers a Merry Christmas! I hope it goes wonderfully for each and everyone of you! I also hope my painting is legible. Some of the paint didn't work in the way I thought it would.        Reading Update:     So right now I'm reading The Drawing of The Three by Stephen King and London by Frank Tayell at the same time. As hard as I'm trying I don't think I'm going to be able to complete my TBR this month. There are two books that may have to wait till next month. It's just gotten supper crazy because of the holidays. Hopefully, I will be back with more book reviews next week!      That's it for this update. If you like my content please give my blog a follow. I will talk to you all later!

           Title: The Rise of The Fourth Reich            Author: Jim Marrs  Genre: Conspiracy            Pages: 439 Rating: 2.5 stars        Synopsis: Throw out everything you know about history. Close the approved textbooks, turn off the corporate mass media, and whatever you do don't believe anything you hear from the government- The Rise of The Fourth Reich reveals the truth about American power. In this explosive new book, the legendary Jim Marrs, author of the underground bestseller Rule by Secrecy, reveals the frighteningly real possibility that today the United States is becoming the Fourth Reich, the continuation of an ideology thought to have been vanquished more than half a century ago. This concept may sound absurd to those who can not see past the rose-colored spin, hype, and disinformation poured out daily by the mass media congloomerates- most of which...

          I'm going to be honest I need to do something with some of my books that way I will have room for new books. I've thought about it and decided to do book unhauls every so often maybe once a season. With that being said the following items are being donated to my local library later this afternoon.              Reason for unhauling: I went through my collection recently and realized I had two copies of this book.       Reason for unhauling it: I liked the books but, I ended up not really liking the movies. So yeah I'm ok with letting go of this I want miss it.       Reason for unhauling it: When I picked up this comic I thought it might be interesting. Then I ended up not reading it and at this point I just don't see myself picking it up . Reason for unhauling it: I liked this comic series at first but , then I just lost interest and ended up not sticking wit...

Sometimes when she's sound asleep, she scrawls messages on a notepad by her pillow. She finds these cryptic words when she wakes the next morning- a time and a place. But for what?    Liam and his best friend Ant join her when she goes hunting around a cem...

  November is almost over so I thought I would go ahead and post my reading wrap up. My reading month was not so good this time. I did not complete my TBR this time. I think some of the books bogged me down actually.    The first book I read this month was Homebody by Joanna Gaines. I didn't like it that much. It was like reading a magazine. I expected more from the book.                    Rating: I think I gave it 1.5 stars                   Pages: 340             The second book I read this month was  77 Shadow Street by Dean Koontz. This is one of the books I think bogged me down this month. I found it to be monotonous and repetitive. I got to within 50 pages of the end and I just didn't care enough to finish it. Rating : 2.5 Pages: roughly 430 My third book I read this month was The Gunslinger: Dark Tower ...
