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.

Forgotten
The Land of Forgotten Girls came out before Hello Universe, which won the Newbery last year. Last year Kelly published You Go First which I actually liked better than Universe. I also really liked TLOFG more than HU, but still these three are really great books. This one was good even though I really didn't like the main character. I could understand why she was so unlikable, having had a really raw deal all of her young life, but wow, she was just super not likable, which made her more real.

I Don't Know...
The Lost Girls of Camp Evermore might be a book that I will think about in a more positive way as time goes on. For right now though, I feel it didn't live up to my expectations. I think though, that it is because the publisher description was kinda off. And since this is a story of five girls, there were stories that I enjoyed more than others. I read about the book here. I do think that this is for sure worth a read and I am going to read Kim Fu's other books.
