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.

and his boys who want to take it from her. Talon is a tough as nails and it
turns out, she is a Sackett from Tennessee, too. Logan starts to ride for Em
and help her defend her ranch. I loved this book! I loved strong Logan. And I
loved Em, too because she is one strong woman! I especially love this quote
from Logan, "
