What's Going On Here?

There are SO MANY wonderful book review blogs out there and I can't compete with them, that is for sure. So this is not a book review blog. This is just a way for me to organize what I have read so that I can be better at matching the right book to the right person. The blog title comes from the brilliant mind of the most talented woman who ever lived, Ms. Judy Garland. The full quote is, "Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of someone else." That is what I hope to do here and in ever aspect of my life.

Minnesota!

Shiver was another great recommendation from Miss Kelly. I linked her goodreads page because if you are looking for something good to read, Kelly will show you the way!
I was hesitant to read Shiver, the whole romance thing, but I am so glad I read it. It's like Twilight but way better and with only werewolves. And I really loved Twilight. Something I really liked about the book was that it is set in the wonderful state of Minnesota! It is told from two perspectives, Grace a young girl who falls in love with a werewolf and Sam, the werewolf she loves. I love the whole books from different perspective thing and Grace and Sam are very likable characters. Sam is originally from Duluth. Even the characters who aren't supposed to be likable, like Isabelle and Jake Culpeppers, are likable enough! I don't want to give much about the story away but the basic deal is that it is tough to be a werewolf and it is very tough to be in love with a werewolf, especially if you are looking for a long-term relationship. I am looking forward to the second book in the trilogy, Linger, which is coming out in July.
