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.

This is My Story, This is My Song

This is Our Story has more to do with this than this.  Although it is MUCH more macabre.  Again, I put 4 stars instead of 5 on a book by Ashley Elston and I just can't put my finger on why.  Probably just the length.  Because the book is written so well.  And I did buy this on audible and I will buy another!  Maybe I think that Elston is such a great writer, I just wish her editor were better.  Or she just wrote short books for losers like me!  Really good book though.  Really good.

My Stars

are always so up in the air.  When I finished The Lying Woods I gave it 4 stars and I am keeping it like that because 4 stars does mean "I really liked it" and I did really like it!  I will for sure read another by Ashley Elston.  When I get my audible credits this month I am going to buy This is Our Story.  It was between that one and this one for this month, but Louisiana won!  It was quite good.  The only thing that kept it from being a 5 was that it moved a wee bit too slow in the beginning for me, but keep in mind, I am a short book kinda gal.  The book was EXTREMELY clever and kept me guessing and the end really surprised me but it was fair, you know?  It wasn't one of those POP out-of-nowhere kind of endings that are really cheaters.  THEY HAVE A NAME THAT I ALWAYS ALWAYS FORGET! Anyway,  I can highly recommend this one for anyone who enjoys a good, good mystery.
