Hello Bookworms, It feels like it has been absolutely forever since I posted at wrap up blog post! There is a video going up at the same time as this that will talk a bit about my crazy tbr for next month. I feel like I have been neglecting my blog, but I have been thinking of you. I have some plans for you in the future! Don't you worry. So what did I read this month? I will tell you that I had an average of 3.8 stars. Not the best month but hey it isn't awful either. ![]() The Gunslinger (The Dark Tower #1) by Stephen King 3 Stars Paperback, 231 pages Published June 24th 2003 by NAL In The Gunslinger (originally published in 1982), King introduces his most enigmatic hero, Roland Deschain of Gilead, the Last Gunslinger.

Now Scarlett’s father has arranged a marriage for her, and Scarlett thinks her dreams of seeing Caraval—the faraway, once-a-year performance where the audience participates in the show—are over. But this year, Scarlett’s long-dreamt-of invitation finally arrives. With the help of a mysterious sailor, Tella whisks Scarlett away to the show. Only, as soon as they arrive, Tella is kidnapped by Caraval’s mastermind organizer, Legend. It turns out that this season’s Caraval revolves around Tella, and whoever finds her first is the winner. Scarlett has been told that everything that happens during Caraval is only an elaborate performance. Nevertheless she becomes enmeshed in a game of love, heartbreak, and magic. And whether Caraval is real or not, Scarlett must find Tella before the five nights of the game are over or a dangerous domino effect of consequences will be set off, and her beloved sister will disappear forever.
