Always be a first rate version of yourself...: Openly Straight

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.

Softly and Tenderly

Jesus is calling, calling o sinner, come home. I love that song. Never heard it until my internship at my church in seminary. Love that song. Especially this version. I love Anne Murray.
Of course that brings me to Openly, Honestly! a 1.5 but a FREE one! Whoa! I would have paid for it, before and after reading it. I love Rafe. I love Ben, too. And I love Claire Olivia. Can't wait for the next one!

First of all, great cover!

It was the simplicity and cuteness of the cover that caught me. I really loved Openly Straight. Sexuality is not an easy thing at any age. And what I really liked about this book was the way Rafe, the main character, grew and changed as the book progressed. His parents were super cool and funny! I also really liked the ending. Seemed very realistic to me. And I am really looking forward to the next one. And I see there is a .5! So I will have to read that, too!
