The Wonderful Wizard of Oz | 
Starting this tonight as well, for #beyondtheyellowbrickroad with @BookmarkTavern
repost for @BookmarkTavern:
Welcome! Whether you have arrived in Oz by Tornado, Rainbow, Magic Carpet, or the Nome King‘s tunnels, I am so excited to spend the next year exploring the marvelous land of Oz with you all.
We‘ve got a year before Wicked: Part Two comes out, so I‘ve doubled up June & July for the books.
I look forward to seeing all of your thoughts! 💚

My mom invited me to an escape room this weekend that's Oz themed (based on BOOK only), and she wants me to wear a costume. Told her I'd wear a gold cap (nothing to do with the movie, but if you read the book, it's 💯 percent understandable.) It wasn't exactly what I expected escape room wise, but I still enjoyed time with my fam. ❤️
This book has it wrong folks... Melting is caused by excessive heat. Like that which is going on in Canada right now😅💧💧💧
pickEvery time I read this I realise how much the film misses (and how sanitised it is). Oz is such a weird place, and Dorothy and her comrades‘ journey is so action-packed. A story that truly draws on the power of imagination to transport us to another world. I‘ve only just realised that this is the beginning of a quite lengthy series of books, so cue me reading more Oz tales (which I can only assume are weirder than this).
“Where in the world did you come from?”
“From the land of Oz,” said Dorothy gravely. “And here is Toto, too. And oh, Aunt Em! I‘m so glad to be at home again!”

Here‘s my current read on my Christmas tree. I figured Bing Crosby put presents on the tree, so why can‘t I put books?
Hope everyone had a sweet and spooky Halloween!
Happy Halloween from Glinda the Good Witch of Oz and my good friend Frankenstein‘s monster. #happyhalloween #literarycostumes
The Wizard of Oz is definitely my pick for the #AutumnPlease challenge prompt for #Lost. A while ago I saw the Royal Winnipeg Ballet's incredible interpretation of The Wizard of Oz and this was one of their super cool stage settings.

Annual family screening of Mama‘s favorite movie! #wickedwitch #Halloween #movies #Scarathalon #TeamSlaughter
My dad really liked the classic book to movie adaptations. Here are some of his copies I inherited. Using for prompt “wizards” #OminousOctober @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks #Scarathon #TeamSlaughter @Clwojick

A popular choice today!!

#OminousOctober #Day5 #Candy I couldn‘t find my copy of The Sugar Queen(candy on its cover)and I tore apart my library! So you get the Lollipop Guild instead from Munchkin Land in Oz. I loved these books as a kid, read them over & over when I could find copies in my local library, so I just had to buy the hardcover boxed set a few years ago. Which Oz book is your favourite? 🍭👧🏻🐶🌪 #Scarathlon #TeamSlaughter 6pts
pickLily and I had a wonderful time reading this together! We watched the movie after and she was full of questions about why the story was different between the two. 🦁🪓🦅 🧙♂️ 🧺 🧙♀️ 🙊 🌪
Dorothy lived in the midst of the great Kansas prairies, with Uncle Henry, who was a farmer, and Aunt Em, who was the farmer‘s wife.

Lily requested we start this tonight by reading the American Girl sized reproduction. I made it three chapters before my eyes gave out and switched to ebook. 👓 Loving reading this together (with dolls Crystal & Harmonica looking on 🤣)!

This one has to be The Wizard Of Oz! I was obsessed with these books when I was in primary school, I haunted our local library for each book in the series. Though this one wasn‘t my favourite from it, TikTok of Oz & Ozma Of Oz have that spot, they wouldn‘t have existed without this first story. I have a beautiful bound set I‘m hoping to read with my grandbabies soon.

I decided to finally read this entire series so I started with a reread of the first book. It's the only book in the series that I've read, but I'm a huge fan of all things Oz related.
My journey down the yellow brick road was just as enjoyable as my first trip with the band of misfits. I love the friendship that develops and how each character learns to believe in themselves, with a little help of course. 😁
#OnThisDay in 1900 L. Frank Baum introduced the magical world of Oz to the masses with the publication of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. The name Oz came from a filing cabinet - Baum couldn't come up with a name for his magical world and looked around the room for inspiration, until his eyes landed on a drawer marked "O to Z". (Cont'd in comments) #HistoryGetsLIT
pick📚📚📚📚📚 Such a simple story. I‘ve seen the movie but never read the book and was so surprised it‘s so short - it is a children‘s book after all. This was another audiobook for the month.
Trainers for me lol but statement is still true
pickA light enjoyable read. I enjoyed both the similarities & differences between the book and the movie 🎥
Happy reading 📚 ❤📖 hope you're all ok
pickI love the movie so much I had a hard time getting into this, but loved the reading by Anne Hathaway so it‘s a pick. I realize people love this book and I am probably making your skin crawl. Sorry about that!
This is my Kansas book for #ReadingUSA - challenge complete!

Saw these and thought of you, you know about these? @curiouserandcurioser @wordslinger42 ❤ @recommendations #wizardofoz @oz
I can‘t find this book in Litsy! But it‘s definitely my Cute Book of the Day. #LibraryWork
pickI really love the book, its suspenseful and that's what I love about the book.
pickI had no idea this book was so different from the movie based on it. I have fond memories of the movie, mostly because it was a big event whenever it came on TV; my sister and I would be allowed to stay up late and we would have big bowls of popcorn and watch it with our parents. (This was in the days of TVs with dials that you had to change between the 3 channels by hand! 🤣)
I found this copy in a LFL, and it was fun reading it!

so-soToday I finished reading the wizard of oz. I can‘t really complain about short reads because I usually just use them as a little in between to longer books. However, this is definitely a lot more violent than I remember. Definitely not for children, I struggled even as an adult :/
I gave this book 3 stars ✨
