        Hello, how are you all doing? I hope all of you are having a good day . I have been very busy myself today but, I finally have some time to work on my blog. With that being said lets get started with last months reading wrap up.                  The first book I finished last month  was Black Beauty by Anna Sewell. It really surprised me how much I ended up liking this book! Even though I did like it certain parts of this book can be sad but, the story does have a happy ending . I ended up giving the book 4 stars!                       The second book I finished in July was The Dark Tower : The Gunslinger Born by Stephen King , Robin Furth and Peter David. I read this book as part of a new graphic novel spotlight series I'm doing. I thought this was a pretty good adaptation of part of Stephen Kings Dark Tower series. I also love the artwork in this series!...
