Always be a first rate version of yourself...: short story

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.

Short but still too long...

I don't know, Stephen King. I have such a love-hate relationship. I just think he uses too many words. Probably because I use too many words and what we don't like about ourselves we usually don't like about others. I loved the sense of a non-traditional family like the one that is created here. I love that that cat is taken care of, too. So I need to set aside my usual disdain for King and move Elevation from 2 stars to 3.

Creepy!

Lullaby was super short and super creepy and well worth the listen. Yeah...good for Halloween and this time of year. Scary! And Scott Brick is a narrator I really like so it was a win-win!

A Little Bit of Lying

The Lying Game will continue with its 6th book in July, but until then, True Lies is a little look into Mercer's relationship with Thayer and the rest of the Lying Game girls. I love this series.
