     Hello and how are you guys today ? I hope you are all doing ok . I had an alright day. Kevin (my husband) and I did some running around and went to Logan's for lunch.

           Hello and how are you guys? I hope you all are having a good day. I have had a pretty good day so far. My kiddo and I went to town and had some fun. We went comic book shopping! We also had some really good food at a restaurant called The Perfect Cup. So yeah we had a really good day! I have been meaning to make this post for awhile but, I have been busy with work. That's why my TBR post is a little late this month. Now that I have some time I want to talk about this month's TBR. 1. My Best Friends Exorcism Author: Grady Hendrix      I have already started reading this one . It's one of the ones I have been really looking forward to reading. Grady Hendrix is a pretty good horror writer. This book reads kind of like an 80s horror movie and it has been pretty entertaining so far.   2. Tommy Land Author: Tommy Lee I meant to reread this one last month and I never got around to it. I really like this book. It's a fun read. 3....

     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 and how are you all doing? I hope you all had a Merry Christmas. Mine was pretty good. My house exchanged gifts this morning and then the three of us went to my in-laws for lunch and another gift exchange . The food was really good and we all had fun. After that we came home and rested a little bit and my husband put a prime rib on the smoker for our Christmas dinner and the kiddo and I went to my mom's for a gift exchange. Pretty much my whole family came so that was fun! I ended the day by reading a Blue's Clues Christmas story to my kiddo which was really nice!      Now, the day is ending and I'm relaxing so I want to post a book review that I have been meaning to post for a few days now. I have me some almond milk and I want to talk books ! Let's do this! Title: Gwendy's Button Box Authors: Stephen King & Richard Chizmar Genre: YA Pages: 171 Rating: 5 stars!

     Hello and how are you guys? I hope you are all having a good morning . Mine has been good but, it's going to get busy later. It's a work day and I also have a ton of stuff I have to do. For now, I have my coffee and I want to get this review posted so lets get to it! Title: We Have Always Lived In The Castle Author: Shirley Jackson Genre: YA/Horror Pages: 146 Rating: 5 stars Synopsis: My name is Mary Katherine Blackwood. I am 18 years old, and I live with my sister Constance. I have often thought that with any luck I could have been born a werewolf, because the two middle fingers on both my hands are the same length, but I have had to be content with what I have . I dislike washing myself, and dogs, and noise. I like my sister Constance, and Richard Plantagnet, and Amanita Phalloides , the death cap mushroom. Everyone else in my family is dead. My thoughts on the book: This was a fast and easy read and I actually really liked this one. I can see why it's a classic! T...

                    Hello you guys! How are you all? I hope everybody is having a good day! The kiddo woke up at about mid-night last night and never really went back to sleep so I am exhausted . Not to mention it's been a long day house work and going to the gym. Hopefully he sleeps all night tonight!                With that being said though I do want to get this book review done today .

                      Hello everybody! How are all of you this morning? I hope you all are having a good morning. I'm sorry I didn't finish this book sooner however the stuff currently going on in my country has kept my mind pretty distracted recently and it's made it hard for me to concentrate on reading. So lets go ahead and get this review down shall we !           Title: Mortal Instruments: City Of Bones Author : Cassandra Clare Genre: YA Fantasy Pages: 485 Rating: 3 stars Synopsis: When 15 year old Clary Fray heads out to the Pandemonium Club in New York City, she hardly expects to witness a murder- much less a murder committed by 3 teenagers covered with strange tattoos and brandishing bizarre weapons. Then the body disappears into thin air. It's hard to call the police when the murderers are invisible to everyone else and there is nothing- not even a smear of blood- to show that a boy has died. Or was...

          Hello how are you all doing? I hope you all are having a good day. I went to the gym earlier, done some house work and started dinner. That's all besides taking care of the kiddo so my day has been a bit busy. The kiddo just fell asleep so I wanted to try to get this book review up while he is asleep. So let's get this thing rolling! Title: A Walk To Remember Author: Nicholas Sparks Genre: Romance Pages: 215 Rating: 5 stars Synopsis: There was a time when the world was sweeter... when the women in Beaufort, North Carolina, wore dresses, and the men donned hats... when something happened to a 17 year old boy that would change his life forever. Every April, when the wind blows in from the sea and mingles with the scent of lilacs , Landon Carter remembers his last year at Beaufort High.  My Thoughts On The Book: So this was another one of my rereads . I wanted to see if it was as good as I remembered it being because the last time I read it I was a t...

But Q soon learns that there are clues- and they are for him. Urged down a disconnected path, the closer he gets, the less Q sees the girl he thought he knew.      My thoughts on the book: I didn't particularly like it that much. The first chapter was fun but, then Margo does something that I think was selfish and I couldn't get over that because it impacts the story greatly....
