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.

   Hello and how are you all doing today? I hope all of you are having a good day. I am having a pretty good day so far. My husband and I went out and had some fun early this morning. We just spent the morning out in town which I enjoyed!   Now I want to do some blogging. I know it's been a while since I done any and I am hoping I can get it all caught up this weekend. I actually have a couple of book reviews to do. So, it's going to be a jam packed weekend!    With that being said let's get this started! I think this first one will be a good one because the book was really interesting! So, I hope you all enjoy the read!

     Hello and how are you guys? I hope you all had a good day. Mine was pretty good. I did some studying this morning and then I went to a Christmas party at my kid's school. That was really fun! We did crafts and they had a bounce house. My kiddo enjoyed it he was running around everywhere!     Then we went to Pizza King for lunch. The food there was amazing like always! I tried their baked spaghetti, and it was really really good! My son loved his pizza too! After that we came home and have just hung out at the house the rest of the day.     We just had jambalaya for dinner and my husband is playing with kiddo. Since things are winding down for the day I want to post a book review before I go to bed. I'm ready to talk books so lets do this !  Title: White Author: Bret Easton Ellis Genre: Non-fiction Pages: 272 Rating: 4 Synopsis: Bret Easton Ellis offers his first work of non-fiction meditating on the social media age.

        Hello and how are you guys? I have had a pretty good day today and I hope you have too ! I had the day off work. I didn't go any where but, I stayed at the house and did some cleaning . Then I just chilled out the rest of the afternoon and done some reading and took a bath.        Now I want to work on my blog some before I have to start cooking dinner. I'm going to make my favorite dinner tonight which is fried potatoes , pinto beans and corn bread and I like to have a jalapeno and a slice of onion with it . Before I cook all that though, I want to discuss books! Title: The Great Artists : Vincent Van Gogh Author: Susie Hodges Genre: Non-fiction Pages: 90 Rating: 5 stars!

     Hello and how are you guys? I hope you all are doing good I have had a very good day myself. I've been very busy because I had to work so I'm tired but, I want to get this post done. Doing my top ten books of the year this time has been very different because I didn't give 5 stars to more than 10 books this whole year so I couldn't really do versus battles to figure out my top ten because that would only kind of change the order not which ones are mentioned . So for this one I'm not even going to number them because they are kind of all interchangeable but, these have been my favorite reads of the year. With that being said lets get down to business and talk about the books! Title: The Eyes of The Dragon Author: Stephen King Genre: YA/Fantasy Rating: 5 stars Synopsis: A kingdom is in turmoil as the old king dies, murdered by a strange and horrible poison . While the land of Delain mourns, the evil wizard Flagg, hatches an unscrupulous plot, which sees the King...

       Hello everybody ! I hope you all are having a good day. Mine has been good but busy. I just finished my cleaning and baking so now I want to share my TBR with you all like I said I would do earlier. Just so you all know this ended up being a night time edition of Bookopolly (I got excited about what my TBR could be) and that's why some of my pictures look like this.  So lets post the results for Bookopolly Roll #1: My first roll was a six which lands me on Friend Pick . For this space I texted my friend Mary and let her pick me a book to read . So this is what she picked!          Let's Spend The Night Together : Backstage Secrets of Rock Muses and Super Groupies by Pamela Des Barres.  I should like this one I normally like rock star stories. I have already started reading it and it's not bad so far .  Bookopolly Roll #2    Ok roll #2 was a 7 which puts me on Amazon Wish List. How that space works is I pick a b...

               How are you all doing? I hope you all are having a good day . For me it's been one of those days that's been a day. It's kinda been rough honestly. Hopefully, I can chill out some now though . So, I want to try to write this review.  Title: Liberty Defined: 50 Essential Issues That Affect Our Freedoms Author: Ron Paul Genre: Non-fiction Pages: 328 pages Rating: 4 Stars Synopsis: This book is pretty straight forward. All this book is is former Texas senator Ron Paul discussing his stances on 50 different issues this country is facing. Pretty simple right? My thoughts on the book: Firstly, I have to say I supported Ron Paul when he ran for president . After reading this book I still wish he would have won presidency. It's just that a lot of the things he says makes so much sense! This book was written in 2012 but it's still very relevant in 2021.                  I agree with a lot of ...
