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.

More than "for fans of..."

I have ranted about the "for fans of" and "for those who like" in book blurbs and I have to say this one really bugged me.  Unteachables is by Gordon Korman who has long proven to be one of the best writers for children and/or tweens and to say that "for fans of...." about one of his books just seems to reduce the book to seeming like one capitalizing on what's popular at the time.
