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.

A Surprise Sequel...Surely Was....

I never expected a sequel to One Crazy Summer!  I bought the audio as soon as I saw it.  Especially after I saw that Sisi Aisha Johnson was the reader.  She is amazing.  And so was OCS and so is P.S. Be Eleven.  OCS should have won the Newbery but of course, it didn't.  Another 1954.  PS begins right where OCS left off.  The girls are back from visiting their Black Panther mother in California and facing some new challenges and changes back home in Bed-Stuy.  Pa has a new lady friend, Uncle Darnell is back from Vietnam, the Jackson Five debute on the Hollywood Palace.   This is a great historical fiction book and just a great book overall.
