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.

Jack Gantos...
Jack Gantos is one of my most favorite writers. In 2003 he came to Sewickley and I was able to hear him speak. This was such a memorable, memorable evening. I fell in love with the man and with his works, gobbling them up after his visit. Joey Pigza stole my heart completely. And then Jack Henry books were wonderful. I think I even loved them more! Listening to this story, read by Gantos himself was moving and memorable. I loved this man.
