My Bookish Life

          Hello everybody! How are you all? I hope you all are having a good night . I'm on page 337 out of 834 pages of my Dark Tower VII reread but I finished this graphic novel and want to review it . I think I will be finished with the Dark Tower VII soon though.  So lets do this. Title: The Dark Tower The Gunslinger : The Journey Begins  Author: Stephen King , Robin Firth, Peter David Genre: Graphic Novel Pages: 160 roughly Rating : 5 stars Synopsis: Twelve years have passed since the fateful Battle of Jericho Hill and the fall of the gunslingers. Since the Affiliation's resistance against John Farson became little more than a faint memory. Since the friends that stood by young Roland Deschain burned to ash in the Good Man's razing of Gilead. But Roland survived...and now he stalks the desert, hunting the spectral Man in Black in his quest for the Dark Tower. My thoughts on the book: I loved this adaptation of this part of the story.

           Hello everybody! How are you all doing tonight? I'm still in the middle of reading The Dark Tower VII by Stephen King but, I did finish the book I picked for my children's book roll on bookopoly. So I am here with another book review !  Title: Pooh's Heffalump Movie Author: Disney Genre: Children's Pages: 46 Rating: 2.5 stars Synopsis: Little Roo tries to find the much feared Heffalump and ends up learning a lesson about friendship. My thoughts on the book: Ok so my kiddo and I read this together and that was fun. He seemed to really enjoy it. However, as a story I didn't enjoy it to much.     I found the story to be lacking and hollow. I'll admit when I like a children's book but, this story just felt shallow. There are a lot of Pooh Bear books I think are cute but not this one.      If you want a heartfelt story to read to your kiddo I would look elsewhere. That's not this book. It has nice illustrations but that's...

                    Hello everybody! How are you all doing? I hope you are all having a good day. Mine has been really good so far. I went to the gym this morning and I feel really good like I've been killing it today. The kiddo is asleep so I thought I would post my November TBR and show you guys the surprise I have been telling you all I was going to debut on my blog this month!          Ok so I'm no longer really doing a TBR jar I got tired of it and decided I wanted to change things up. Instead of that , I'm now going to be playing a game called Bookopoly every month. My TBR jar isn't completely going away it does have a space on the board so you will see it again eventually. How this game works is each board space is a different reading prompt/category and I have to pick a book that fits the prompt/category of the space I land on . Also, if I role doubles or land on add a book I role twice instead of once . ...

So with that being said I guess we should go on with the book review. Title: The Dead Zone Author : Stephen King Genre: I would say more sci-fi but I guess also horror Pages :402 Rating : 3.5 stars Synopsis: Johnny, the small boy who skated at breakneck speed into an accident that for one horrifying moment plunged him into The Dead Zone. Johnny Smith, the small-town school teacher who spun the wheel of fortune and won a four and a half year trip into The Dead Zone. John Smith, who awakened from an interminable coma with an accursed power - the power to see the future and the terrible fate awaiting man kind in The Dead Zone. My thoughts on the book: It's hard to describe it exactly how I feel about this book. I think Stephen King does some of his best writing when it's about people with mental abilities. However. I don't thin...
