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 ...

My Bookish Life Book Review: No Easy Day

    Hello and good morning to you all! How are you guys? I hope you all are having a good morning . I have had a good one so far. It's been pretty productive. I did some reading first thing this morning and then I got a good workout and now I'm working on my blog.  I want to work on my blog a little bit before I go to work because, I have a good review written for you guys.

My Bookish Life June TBR/Bookopolly

    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...
