Rachel Hawkins is an author I have really, really enjoyed. I loved Hex Hall so much and was disappointed when there weren't more, but then came Rebel Belle and I didn't love, love, love it like Hex Hall. And now I feel like I need to go back and try again with it!
Journey's End is a middle grade, tween deal whereas the others were YA. I really liked this a lot, even though it was set far away, in Scotland. I do think that this might be a series! There is a lot of magic in here, but also a lot of realism, so it's that Magical Realism thing! Friendship and loss of friends and fitting in and all of that. But a lot of magic, too.
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.
