My Bookish Life

    Hello and how are you all doing? I know it's been a while since I have posted on my blog. I still want to do it but, my life is just really crazy right now. I do want to start posting more often though and I do have two (counting this one) book reviews coming up in the next few days.    I have had this last book read for a few days now but, my life has just been so crazy that I haven't been able to review it. I have to say this is a really long book and another reason why it's been a minute since you have heard from me. That and I'm reading another book for a completely different review. So let's get to talking about the book that's the subject of this review though.  Title: Louder Than Hell: The Definitive Oral History of Heavy Metal Author: Jon Wiederhorn & Katherine Truman Genre: Nonfiction Pages: 736 Rating: 3 stars Synopsis: This book uses hundreds of interviews to tell the definitive history of heavy metal. My thoughts on the book: I like books abo...

      Hello everybody! How are you guys doing? I hope you are having a good time. I'm having a few drinks and I'm trying to chill. Life has been a little stressful, so I want to have a good time tonight. I have had an ale, a shot of Salted Caramel Ole Smokey, and some Budweiser. Now I want to talk books while I finish my Budweiser.   Before we get into the books though I want to take a few minutes to show off some awesome car coasters my friend Courtney made me for Christmas. I think she did an absolutely awesome job of making these! They are just so cute! If you like these and want to check out her stuff go to:  The Craft Closet | Chatsworth GA | Facebook  . Now let's talk about the books! Even though this list is numbered the books aren't really in a certain order because I loved them all. I hope you enjoy reading this article! 10. Title: The Great Artists: Vincent van Gogh Author: Susie Hodges Genre: Non-fiction Pages: 90 My thoughts on the book: I ...

         Hello and how are you guys! I hope all of you have been good ! I've been alright , I have just been really busy and that's why it's been awhile since I have talked to you guys. My life has been a little crazy!       That being said I'm finally ready to do another book review! I have been looking forward to this for awhile because I have such fun working on my blog and talking to you guys! I have missed this ! So now, lets get to talking about the book! Title: Nothin But A Good Time Authors: Tom Beaujour & Richard Bienstock Genre: Non-fiction Pages: 535 Rating: 3.5 stars Synopsis: Hard rock in the 1980's was a hedonistic and often intensely creative wellspring of escapism that perfectly encapsulated- and maybe even helped define- a spectacularly over the top decade . Indeed, fist-pumping hits like Twisted Sister's "We're Not Gonna Take It," Motley Crue's "Girls, Girls, Girls," and  Guns N' Roses "Welcome To The Ju...

Title: This Is Going To Hurt: Music, Photography,  and Life Through The Distorted Lens of Nikki Sixx Author: Nikki Sixx  Genre: Art, Biography,  Photography,  Self Help (maybe)  Pages: 2233 Rating: 3.5 or 4 stars     Summary: This Is Gonna Hurt is music, photography and life through the distorted lens of Nikki Sixx, bassist for heavy metal band Motley Crue and the New York Times bestselling author of The Heroin Diaries.  A combination of powerful prose and dramatic photographs,  This Is Going To Hurt is an arresting,  deeply personal look through the eyes of a real rock star at a stark , post-addiction world.     My thoughts on the book: This is another book I read to highlight the musicians involved with the concert I'm being optimistic that I'm still going to get to go see this August.  Even though I can only give it a 3.5 or a 4 this was an interesting read. I would say that it actually blended a few differe...
