My Bookish Life

                  I am back at it for the second time today because I have also finished reading the book I'm using for the Graphic Novel Spotlight series . I actually finished it before I finished Horns but, I wanted to get Horns review posted first since I had been reading it for the longest . So here we go with another review!  Title: The Dark Tower: The Long Road Home Authors: Stephen King, Robin Furth, Peter David Art: Jae Lee & Richard Isanove Lettering : Chris Eliopoulos Genre: Graphic Novel Rating: 4 stars Synopsis: (Spoiler Warning) In the second collection of the comic book series based off of Stephen Kings Dark Tower series gunslinger Roland Deschain has seen the death of his lover Susan Delgado.

           Hello everybody !  How are you all doing? I hope you all have been doing good!  I was finally able to finish Horns here recently .

He woke up the next morning  with a thunderous hangover, a raging headache... and a pair of Horns growing from his temples.  At first Ig thought the Horns were a hallucination , the product of a mind damaged  by rage and grief . He had spent the last year in a lonely private purgatory, following the death of his beloved, Merrin Williams, who was raped and murdered under inexplicable circumstances . A mental breakdown would have been the most natural thing in the world. But there was nothing natural about th

        Hello once again everybody! How are all of you doing ? I hope you all have a very good day . I know mine is going to be really busy because I have house stuff and errands I have to do. Since I have a few quite minutes this morning though ,  I wanted to start the graphic novel spotlight I told you guys I wanted to do, While there will usually only be one book covered for this kick off edition there is going to be two.

               Hello everybody! How are all of you? I hope you are having a good day. Mine has been ok. I'm mainly making a post because I wanted to take a minute to talk about a subject that's important to me . That is supporting local libraries.           Since, most libraries were hit hard by Covid I thought I would share some ways we could all support them as they reopen. Libraries help boost a communities literacy rate and provide important services to their communities . So, lets share some ideas about how to support them as they reopen. #1  I think this one is pretty simple, the best way to support your local library is to use their services. Most libraries are atleast open for curb side service right now . You can use their services by going to your local libraries website and placing a hold on a book . Even if the book you are looking for isn't owned by your local library chances are another library within your state can ship it to your library free of charge . The

            Hello everybody! I hope you all are having a good morning. Mine has been ok but, I already know my day is going to be very busy.

So here we go!  Title: Black Beauty  Author : Anna Sewell Genre: Children's Classic Pages : 215 Rating: 4 stars                   Synopsis: Black Beauty spends his youth in a loving home, surrounded by friends and cared for by his owners . But when the circumstances change , he learns that not all humans are so kind . Passed from hand to hand , Black Beauty witnesses love and cruelty, wealth and poverty, friendship and hardship.                 My thoughts on the book: It surprises me but, I really liked this one. That surprises me because I didn't think I would be into a story like this one . It was also a pretty quick read.                     I'm glad this book has a happy ending because some parts

          Hi, I'm back with the TBR post I told you all I was going to make this morning. I can't believe it's July already ! I hope all of you are having a good day . Mine has been busy but good. Now lets discuss the books in my July TBR.          1. I have to finish Black Beauty. I will be done with it in another day or two. 2. Horns by Joe Hill  , this just sounds like a good Summer read to me . For some reason Summer always puts me in the mood for these types of stories. Plus, it's part of my these books will self destruct challenge and it will give me an H in my alphabet challenge. 3. Song of Susannah : Dark Tower VI by Stephen King, this is the next book in my Dark Tower reread. 4. A Walk To Remember by Nicholas Sparks , I'm actually rereading this for the pure nostalgia of it. Now lets do a TBR pick:  This month's winner is :        I also have Last Dinner On The Titanic on hold at my local library. I hope it gets there soon because I was going to use it

      Hello and how are all of you doing? I hope you all have a nice day. Mine is going to be pretty busy . I thought that while the kiddo was being good I would try to post my June reading wrap up so lets get started.       The first book I read in June was Chocolate Chip Murder Mystery by Joanne Fluke. I thought this one was pretty good and that the story was very cute. I also liked the ending. I ended up giving the book 3.5 stars.           The next book I finished last month was the graphic novel  I Survived: The Sinking of The Titanic by Lauren Tarsish . I was a little bit disappointed in this one.  I just thought that the character development could have been better. I think I gave this one 2 or 2.5 stars.         The third book I finished in June was Wolves of The Calla : Dark Tower V by Stephen King. This was a reread for me . I don't like how short the actual battle is but the book is decently good . Plus, I loved the Salem's Lot character crossov
