Always be a first rate version of yourself...: Lost Week of Reading

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.

Lost Week of Reading

It was a slooooow week for reading, as you can see from my posts, or lack thereof. One of the main problems was The City of Ember. I wasted a lot of time on this book and finally gave up on it. I asked a bunch of people if they read it and the answer was always the same. Everyone got a funny look on their face...like a frowny scowl and said, "I started it." or "I tried to." But I kept plowing on until finally I just couldn't take it anymore. Sadly I was 40% through, so I wasted a lot of time!

I've started a good book on cd and I'm reading the sequel to Delirium, so hopefully I'll have some reviews soon!
