My Bookish Life : June Reading Wrap Up

     Hello everyone! I hope you all are having a good morning! I am having a good one so far. I do have to go to work later so I want to go ahead and work on my blog some. I did a decent amount of reading last month so this is going to be a pretty ling post! 




    The first book I finished last month was The Case Against Socialism by Rand Paul. I loved the book and found it to be very interesting.  I would highly recommend this one . The history of socialism is very interesting and so is his explanation of the world's different tax systems. I felt like I learned a lot and so I gave this book 5 stars!



   Secondly, I finished the book The Dark Tower: The Gunslinger 3: The Little Sisters of Eluria by Stephen King and Robin Furth. I really like the graphic novel adaptation of the Dark Tower series . This particular trade is pretty creepy. I don't want to say much because of spoilers but, it's very weird. I would highly recommend this one . I gave the book 4 stars! 


  

   After those two I read Stranger Back Home by E.L. Haines. Overall, the story is a pretty good one . I did like it and find the characters to be very interesting. I also liked Mr. Haines sense of humor he can be really funny. However , the notes on the Kindle version were a bit confusing but, that wasn't the authors fault. I gave this book 3 stars. 




Lastly, I read No Easy Day by Mark Owens. This one was also really interesting and I felt like I learned somethings which is always a good thing. He talks a good bit about the Afghanistan war and Navy training and a lot of that stuff I didn't know. I would recommend this one to anybody who like military history. I gave this one 4 stars.
