My Bookish Life

        Hello how are you all doing? I hope you all are having a good day! I'm having a good one myself ! I have been really busy today. I did some reading early this morning and I went to the gym and got a good workout. Then I came home and did some cleaning and hung out with the kiddo. Now that I have got all of that done I want to do this book review before I go cook dinner. Title: The Dark Tower: The Gunslinger 3 : The Little Sisters of Eluria Authors: Stephen King, Robin Furth Artist: Luke Ross & Richard Isanove Genre: Graphic Novel Pages: 168 Rating: 4 stars Synopsis: Near death from an attack by Slow Mutants, Roland Deschain is taken by a group of Sisters who specialize in anything but the healing arts.  My thoughts on the book: I've been loving this adaptation of The Dark Tower Series and this was an excellent continuation of the series. This part of the story is very creepy! I can't say much about it without spoiling a ton of stuff but, I loved it!     The stor

    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 on Romance. My pick f

         Hello everybody! I hope you all have had a good day so far. I have got all my other work done and now I'm back with my November Reading Wrap Up. I didn't get very many different books read this month but, I hope you guys enjoy it anyway.      1. Title: Pooh's Heffalump Movie         Author: Disney         Genre: Children's         Pages: 46         Rating: 2.5 stars       My thoughts on the book: This is one I read to my kiddo. We had fun reading it together but, I really didn't like the story. I thought it felt shallow. If you want a heartfelt children's story pick a different one.                     2.

               Hello everybody! I'm back with my September TBR. I always look forward to this every month because I never know how it's really going to shape up because of my TBR jar. So lets get started!    1. First I have to finish Deception Point by Dan Brown. I have read about 40 pages so far and I find it pretty interesting. I think I will like it.  2. Satori in Paris and Pic Two Novels by Jack Kerouac will be the next one I read after Deception Point. This was a TBR jar pick that's been on my list for the longest time but I was waiting for it to show up at my library. Looking forward to reading it I like Jack Kerouac. 3. The Dark Dark by Samantha Hunt, this was last months TBR jar pick and it just now showed up at my local library.  I think I heard about this book on BookTube. Anyways it looks interesting and I'm looking forward to reading it.  Now let's draw my TBR Jar pick for the month!      This i

          Hi, I'm back with the TBR post I told you all I was going to make this morning. I can't believe it's July already ! I hope all of you are having a good day . Mine has been busy but good. Now lets discuss the books in my July TBR.          1. I have to finish Black Beauty. I will be done with it in another day or two. 2. Horns by Joe Hill  , this just sounds like a good Summer read to me . For some reason Summer always puts me in the mood for these types of stories. Plus, it's part of my these books will self destruct challenge and it will give me an H in my alphabet challenge. 3. Song of Susannah : Dark Tower VI by Stephen King, this is the next book in my Dark Tower reread. 4. A Walk To Remember by Nicholas Sparks , I'm actually rereading this for the pure nostalgia of it. Now lets do a TBR pick:  This month's winner is :        I also have Last Dinner On The Titanic on hold at my local library. I hope it gets there soon because I was going to use it

      Hello and how are all of you doing? I hope you all have a nice day. Mine is going to be pretty busy . I thought that while the kiddo was being good I would try to post my June reading wrap up so lets get started.       The first book I read in June was Chocolate Chip Murder Mystery by Joanne Fluke. I thought this one was pretty good and that the story was very cute. I also liked the ending. I ended up giving the book 3.5 stars.           The next book I finished last month was the graphic novel  I Survived: The Sinking of The Titanic by Lauren Tarsish . I was a little bit disappointed in this one.  I just thought that the character development could have been better. I think I gave this one 2 or 2.5 stars.         The third book I finished in June was Wolves of The Calla : Dark Tower V by Stephen King. This was a reread for me . I don't like how short the actual battle is but the book is decently good . Plus, I loved the Salem's Lot character crossov

Over the course of one long magical night, Roland transports us to the Mid-World of long ago and a seaside town named Hambry, where Roland fell in love with a girl named Susan Delgado, and where he and his old ka-tet mates Alain and Cuthbert battled the forces of John Farson, the harrier who- with a little help from a seeing sphere called Maerlyn's Grapefruit- i
