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.

Not Beastly at All

I have always loved Alex Flinn, ever since reading Fade to Black and Nothing to Lose. She writes fresh, original, realistic books that really make me think and hold my interest. I just happened upon her and I wish that more folks knew about her because everyone I ask has never heard of her.
Hopefully Beastly will change that. In July the movie will be out and judging from the trailer, it looks like a good one.
The image on the book cover over there <- says Read It Before You See It. I couldn't agree more. Books over 300 pages always intimidate me but I blew through this baby.
It is a modern twist, of course, on the Beauty and Beast tale and it is just so darn good! I truly enjoyed this book and it was one those that when it was over, I was sorry!
