I'm looking forward to posting my September TBR though so I want to get this done so I can do it. With that being said let's get started!  1. The Dark Tower Treachery Authors: Stephen King and Robin Furth Genre : Graphic Novel Pages: 176 Rating: 4 Stars My thoughts on the book: I really like this graphic novel series. I like how this one highlights the story of what happened to Roland's mom. I also think the artwork in these graphic novels is really beautiful! 2. Song of Susannah: Dark Tower 6 Author: Stephen King Genre: Fantasy Pages: 544 Rating: 4 stars My thoughts on the book: This was a reread. I think the story in this one gets really weird but, I like it! I also like the humor that some parts of the book has. 3. The Dark Tower : The Fall of Gilead Authors: Stephen Kin...

         Hello again everybody! I'm back again with the book review I mentioned. I have been busy today so I'm getting all this stuff posted later than I thought I would. So here we go!            Title: The Last Dinner On The Titanic: Menus and Recipes From The Great Ocean Liner  Authors: Rick Archbold & Dana McCauley  Genre: Cookbook Pages: 144 Rating: 3 stars           Synopsis: A cookbook designed to recreate the atmosphere of dining on the famous, doomed luxury liner . It serves up such recipes as Lobster Thermidor, Quail Eggs in Aspic with Caviar and Poached Salmon with Dilled Mousseline Sauce and Cucumber,        My thoughts on the book: I thought it was an ok read. Not the best book I've read all month but ok. Some of the recipes sound really good . Even some of the 3rd class dishes sound excellent.        One of the things I found interesting abo...

        Hello friends! It's been awhile but I'm finally doing another I try food from books segment . I bet you all thought there wasn't going to be another one ! Turns out it was just that it took the book awhile to get to my library. This one is a double segment because I decided to review two dishes.                                     These dishes came from the book Last Dinner On The Titanic: Menus and Recipes From The Great Liner by Rick Archbold and Dana McCauley. Lets start with the main dish. For my main dish I chose Chicken Lyonnaise. Ingredients: 1/3 cup of all purpose flour 2 tbsp fresh chopped thyme 1/2 tsp each salt and pepper 6 boneless chicken breasts 1 egg beaten                       3 tbsp Vegetable Oil           2 Onions thinly sliced        1 cl...

          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...

      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 i...

   Hello everybody! How are you all? Got to be honest I haven't felt to grand today Since it is the 1st day of June I thought I would go ahead and share June TBR with everybody so here it goes!     Let's do my TBR jar pick first this !    The book I drew was Black Beauty by Anne Sewell. From how I understand it this is a children's classic. I also think it might have been in the Great America Read challenge but I'm not sure. Anyways I'm looking forward to reading it!        So here is my full TBR:               June TBR:  1. Chocolate Chip Cookie Murder by Joanne Fluke 2.  I Survived The Sinking of The Titanic, 1912 by Tarshis  3. Wolves of The Calla : Dark Tower V by Stephen King 4. Black Beauty by Anna Sewell 5.  Four Past Midnight by Stephen King         I have already started the Chocolate Chip Cookie M...

          Hello everybody! It's the last day of May so I thought I would go ahead and post my Reading Wrap Up for the month. I think I done pretty decently,  there was only one book on my TBR list that I didn't get to. So let's get started with the breakdown.      The first book I finished this month was  Def Leppard by Willy McGilly. I didn't like this book really.  It seemed like it was a cash grab and some of the facts weren't accurate.         Genre: Biography       Pages: 32       Rating: 1 star      After that I read Wizard and Glass : The Dark Tower IV by Stephen King. I loved this one! It's really dense with amazing world building! It took a long time to reread it but it was well worth it !  Genre: Western, Romance, Fantasy, Horror  Pages: 699 Rating: 5 stars      The third book I finished this m...
