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.

Reissue of a Wonderful Book

The Changeling was first published in 1970, but I didn't realize this until after I had finished reading, which I did in one sitting.  Obviously, the book has held up over time!  What a charming story of friendship, small towns, imagination and self-discovery.  It reminded of Snyder's own Egypt Game and of Jennifer, Hecate, Macbeth, William McKinley and Me, Elizabeth by Konigsburg.  A wonderful story of two outsider girls who find friendship and explore a magical world of imagination.  Great stuff.
