Always be a first rate version of yourself...: Adult Romance

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.

The Last One

Keep in mind, I don't like romance mixed with murder. This is just me...but The Last Sister will be the last book I will read in the new Columbia River series. WAY too much love WAY WAY WAY too much love. But if you like thriller chick-lit, it might be for you!

I Have to Try to Remember

that if someone on goodreads has tagged a book as "romantic suspense," it is probably not for me. You would think I would have learned this by now. The Third to Die is probably a great book! And I feel bad only giving it a 3 star rating because I am sure that as far as romantic suspense books go, it is probably a 5! It is first in a series but I won't lower the overall star ratings by reading any more because it just isn't my cup of tea. But if you like romance with your detective fiction, go for it!

Well...

I do feel guilty every time I say that I enjoy male writers more than female writers when it comes to adult fiction. My only exception are the Kellermans. But The Undertaker's Daughter series looked like it was going to be a great new series for me, but alas way too much romance and unlike Texas Rangers, the rest of it didn't outweigh the romance. Still, if you like romance and mystery, you might enjoy The Secrets We Bury. It was just a little too Hallmark Movie for me.
