My Bookish Life

      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 First 21 : How I became Nikki Sixx Author: Nikki Sixx Genre: Non-fiction Pages: 205 Rating: 5 stars Synopsis: Rock N Roll icon and three time bestselling author author tells his origin story: how Frank Feranna became Nikki Sixx. In this book he chronicles his journey from irrepressible Idaho farm boy to being the man who formed the rock band Motley Crue. My thoughts on the book: I really liked this one which doesn't surprise me. This isn't the first time I have read one of Nikki's books . I have read three other books that were also by Nikki and I have liked his stuff so far. In general I have to say he is a good writer in general.  So in this book you kinda follow him through his childhood all the way up to the time where he starts to form Motley Crue. I like it because you get to ...

With that being said let's get to the wrap up!  1. Lock Every Door by Riley Sager Genre: Horror Pages: 368 Rating: 4 stars     My thoughts on the book: For me it read like an 80s horror movie and I absolutely loved that! It may be one of my favorite books of the year we will have to wait and see how that goes. If happen to like stuff like 80s horror movie you will probably love Lock Every Door by Riley Sager. This was the first book I had read by this author and I for sure want to check out more of there books. 2.

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...

    Hello everybody! I hope you all are having a good day ! It's April 1st so I thought I would go ahead and post my April TBR. So lets get started. 1. Lock Every Door by Riley Sager    I also wanted to participate in hypeathon this month and this will be a good book to use for it . I have been looking forward to reading it for a long time because I have heard it's really good. I'm  so excited I actually started reading it yesterday. 2. Along Came A Spider by James Patterson       I want to try to knock this book out during hypeathon too. It's one of James Patterson's most talked about books so it fits the requirements for hypeathon. Plus,  it's been on my TBR for the longest. 3. This Is Going To Hurt: Music, Photography,  and Life Through The Distorted Lens of Nikki Sixx by Nikki Sixx      This is a continuation of the spotlight series I'm doing for the concert I'm hope...
