        Hello how are you all doing? I hope you all are having a good day! I'm having a good one myself ! I have been really busy today.

 Hello everyone and good morning to you . I hope you are all having a good morning. I just got back from the gym . It was a really good workout and I'm feeling awesome! Now I have got some coffee and I want to get this book review done before I start really cleaning my house. Title: The Case Against Socialism Author: Rand Paul Genre: Non-fiction Pages: 368 Rating ; 5 stars Synopsis: This book outlines the history of socialism . Telling the history of socialism is important because it makes it easier to understand the case against socialism . This book also talks about how socialism pretty much always ends in tyranny . My thoughts on the book: I really liked this book and found it to be very very interesting and thought provoking . Rand Paul is somebody who I think would make a good choice for President if he runs again. The stances he takes in this book highlight why I think he would be a good pick for President.    I think he did a very good job of explaining the taxation that goe

         Hello friends! I hope you all are having a good day . I know I have been having a pretty good one myself. My kiddo just got done swimming in the pool and I was tanning while I watched him. We had fun!   Now I want to take a minute to talk about the Summer Reading Challenges happening at your local library. These are fun for the whole family because they have activities for all ages. It's still pretty much all virtual this year but that's better than not having one at all.     I don't know if all libraries have the same theme for their Summer Reading Challenge so I will say that the theme of the challenge at my local library is Tails and Tales. So the main focus is on stories with animals in them but, you can read whatever you want and it still counts for the challenge. It runs until the end of June and I have registered both my son and myself.     You can register in person at your local library . When you register you tell them if you want to log your reading onli

    Hello everybody how are you all ? I hope you are having a good day! I have had a decent day so far which is good . I have gotten a fairly big reading TBR to get to this month so I want to get to talking about that! This is a picture of me picking up where I left off from last month. My first roll was a seven and that lands me on History! I have a really good pick for this space!        The book is called No Easy Day and it's by Mark Owen. From how I understand it it's an biographical account of the raid on Osama Bin Laden. I think it sounds really interesting !   My next roll is a four and that lands me on horror graphic novel! I also have a good pick for this one already in mind! For this one I pick The Dark Tower :The Gunslinger The Little Sisters of Eluria. I have been wanting to read this one for awhile . I really like this graphic novel series. It's really well done and is a good adaptation of a great story! Next I rolled a six. That landed me on Romance. My pick f

I thought it was an ok read. I like rock and roll stories so of course I thought it was ok.  I did get some people mixed up because of how many different people were in it but, the people in it and there stories were interesting. I would be interested in checking out the books some of the people in this book have written! 2. Title: Illuminated Poems Author: Allen Ginsberg Genre: Poet
