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.

Shades of Vincent Brothers

The whole Fifty Shades of Grey obsession was lost on me.  I for some reason I found myself too old for them.  But the Vincent Brothers is pretty graphic and yeah, it seems like it is as Fifty Shades as I would like to go.  If you don't like graphic stuff, then just read through those parts quickly, that's what I did.  This is the sequel to the Vincent Boys and it is really easy to whip through and I did like it, but the boys themselves are awful.  Jealous and violent and just pretty much jerks.  They have an Edward Cullen-type obsession with their girlfriends, but not the excuse of being a vampire.  Trashy fluff, but it kept me turning the pages.

Boys Will Be Boys


And the Vincent Boys are something else.  There's All-American Sawyer Vincent.  Football QB, regular church-goer, great grades, great family, great looking.  And there's his cousin, Beau Vincent. Football Star, bad boy, great looking, trailer-trash, serious fighter.
Sawyer great up with the best family, great successful dad and mom.  Beau's mom works as a bartender and is bad-butt.  His father is dead but when he was alive he was a hell-raiser and a drunk.
Ashton is in the middle.  She grew up with these boys, who are cousins.  She's been Sawyer's perfect girlfriend for three years but man...she has a deep down  wild side and is secretly attracted to Beau and his badness.  The deal is, Ashton is the preacher's daughter and well, she's got a rep to uphold.  But in her senior year, it is killing her.  And Sawyer is away...and Beau is around...
and this isn't a serious book, it's a fun book.  And I enjoyed it a lot and am going to read the sequel.  Yeah, yeah, lots of criticism because it is trashy.  But it's fun!  Liked it a lot and it's a very quick read!  And the Road Trip goes on!  It is set in Alabama!
