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.

Scary Dolls, Again!

The Doll Bones is another scary doll book! But I am not sure if this doll is haunted or not.  I just don't know if the magic was real magic-magic, I do think it might be.  This is a growing up story.  A death of childhood kinda thing...but it is hopeful.  And just magical.  This is a possible Newbery, too.  Three kids, on the verge of beings teens.  Two girls and guy and a journey to put a dead girl's soul to rest.  It made me wonder if the legends in the book are true.  But I can't find anything about it when I google!

Oh My Goodness!

Lately I haven't been wowed over the books I've read but my latest ebook checkout from the library changed that. Bad Girls Don't Die was just what I needed. So good! Such a fun read! It was like a haunted attraction at Halloween!
Lexi and her sister Kasey live with parents who don't pay too much attention to them in a big old house with a nasty, nasty past. I am so into the haunted doll thing, as I've mentioned and so the creepy dolls in BGDD drew me in right away.
A vengeful ghost has taken over Lexi's sister and is using her to get back at a lot of folks in town.
And...it is a series! Delightful! Can't wait to get my hands on the next one!
