Always be a first rate version of yourself...: J.A. White

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.

In the Thick of the Night

J.A. White is the author of my favorite spooky series, The Thickety. The series is over and so I was really excited to see Nightbooks! This did not disappoint! What a great, great book! A great idea and White kept the whole thing rolling and exciting and scary and surprising!

Good News and Bad News, but what can you do?

The Thickety is an outstanding series!
That is good news!
The Last Spell is the last book, I am assuming.
That is bad news!
Because this series didn't go on too long.
But now it is over!
So that is good news and then bad news!
But had it gone on too long, I mean, it would have ended with bad news! So I guess it had to end.
Read from the beginning!

Anticipation

for the Well of Witches, the third book in the Thickety series was well worth it. I read the first two, A Path Begins and The Whispering Trees when I wasn't writing on here as much. All I can say is, this is an excellent series. It really stands up through all three and doesn't feel like "Oh man...another book I have to read." Great fantasy, even if you aren't a "fantasy person" which I am not. Scary and creepy good.
