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.

Saints and Sinners

Talk about a dysfunctional family.   Now THIS book is about a dysfunctional family, as compared to the ones that were chosen for the BOB.  The Patron Saint of Butterflies was a really good book.  Of particular note was the Catholic-esque flavor of this particular cult.  I have not read a cult book in which the cult was quasi-Catholic.  It made me cringe at how smart/awful/manipulative it was of the cult leader to hold up saints as ideals.  I can totally see how wanting to be like a saint (unless one digs deeper into their lives and discovers how they doubted and had failings, too) can keep people on the straight and narrow and obedient. 
I loved the grandma, of course.  And her description of a Big Mac, too!
