         Hello and how are all of you ? I know it's been a minute since I last posted but my life has been super busy right now. I'm studying to become a personal trainer so I'm still reading as much as ever but, there are less reviews because one of the things I'm reading is a text book. Plus, my work life has just been really busy.        I hope that will all get better soon ! Now, while I have sometime I want to talk about books ! So let's have some fun and get this discussion started ! I hope I finish all of these this month but I doubt it will happen.  1. The Annotated Sandman Volume 1 Author : Neil Gaiman Genre: Graphic Novel    I am already reading this one. I love Neil Gaiman's Sandman series so in anticipation for the Netflix show I'm rereading some of it . I choose this annotated version because it includes a lot of additional info. It's like watching the directors cut of a favorite movie with the directors commentary...

      Hello and how are you all doing ? I hope you are all doing really good. I've had a crazy day. Thankfully not as crazy as the day I wrecked but it's been a mixed bag type of day. I did get to end it with a really good dinner though so there is that . My husband cooked some Rib-eye's on the grill for his birthday and they turned out amazingly !  Dinner is over now and we are all just relaxing so I want to finally post my May TBR!

                   Hello everybody! I hope you all are having a good morning . I'm taking a break from house stuff today but I wanted to get my December TBR published. I think I will also take some time today to start figuring out my reading stats for the year and my top 10 books of the year so those will be post you all can look forward to seeing on this blog. So lets get started with this Bookopoly round!                       Ok so my game piece is still on the space where I stopped last time just so you know. My first roll is a 10.          That landed me on Chance. The chance cards are cards that have both good and bad reading prompts on them. The stack is about 50/50 so that's why it's called Chance. So lets see what kind I draw!      I drew a good one! Favorite Genre means I get to pick a book from one of my favorite genres . I know it's...

Title: Coraline           Author: Neil Gaiman  Genre: Graphic Novel   Pages: 193 Rating : 2 stars Bookie Trials Challenge It Completes: The calligraphy challenge for the Scribes     Synopsis: When Coraline steps through a door to find another house strangely similar to her own (only better), things seem marvelous.       But there's another mother there, and another father, and they want her to stay and be there little girl. They want to change her and never let her go.      Coraline will have to fight with all her wit and courage if she is to save herself and return to her ordinary life .       My thoughts on the book: While I liked the movie and I like Neil Gaiman as a writer for some reason this book didn't really grab. I can't explain why it just didn't.  I don't quite understand why either.          The premises of the story is very inter...
