Ozma of Oz | L. Frank Baum

What on earth? When did Ozma grow up and join the Ziegfeld Follies? 😂

This is one of my childhood favs. The lunchbox trees, with the napkin leaves, could anything be more tantalizing? And I love all the adventures and the sneaky Nome King.

I can‘t believe it‘s almost March. One good thing about categories instead of titles is that it makes creating my #bookspin list a little easier and faster.

Congrats on the new house, Sarah!

I enjoyed this, though not as much as previous books. Dorothy is really obnoxious in the beginning and it annoyed me a lot how Baum wrote her pronunciation, especially since it‘s a change from the first book. But it‘s funny (albeit quite dark at times, in a way the narrative doesn‘t seem to acknowledge) and the characters—Billina the talking hen, Langwidere the lazy princess with her heads, Tik-Tok—are delightful. #BeyondtheYellowBrickRoad

BookmarkTavern I‘ve always wished that Langwidere showed up again in a later book. She‘s such an interesting character. 6d

Clare-Dragonfly @BookmarkTavern Yeah! Where did she get all those heads?! She can‘t have traded for them all, like she offered to do with Dorothy… 5d

willaful @Clare-Dragonfly I actually had a conversation about this recently! I had never wondered, assuming it was like Barbie accessories or something. 😂 My friend had always assumed she killed people for them!

I actually prefer the way Dorothy talks here. I find the first book too formal in tone to really enjoy. 2d

Clare-Dragonfly @willaful Oh, Langwidere is definitely too lazy to kill anyone! 2d

On a voyage to Australia, Dorothy falls overboard & is swept away to the magical Land of Ev w/ a sassy talking chicken. When Ozma comes to rescue the royal family, Dorothy joins the quest.

Billina is in my top 5 favorite Oz characters! & this story is so charming & lets us explore more fairy countries. We get to meet new friends like Tik-Tok & the Hungry Tiger, the iconic Langwidere, & the Nomes! & an epic rescue, w/ Billina saving all!🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

Booksblanketsandahotbeverage Billina is my favorite too! 6d

BarkingMadRead Billina is the best!! 6d

Clare-Dragonfly Billina is hilarious! I think Langwidere might be my favorite, though. All she wants to do is laze about and be pretty. 6d

Winds of March | Lenora Mattingly Weber

Greetings, friends!! We are only a week away from March!!!

First off, please note that #BookSpin will be EARLY this month!! We have purchased our new house (YAY) and are in the process of cleaning/painting/moving/etc. Next week are planning to make the big shift to actually sleeping there (!!!) BUT our internet situation won't be set up yet SO I will be posting BookSpin on FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 28!!!

I will post the BookSpin numbers and mark them ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) SPOILER. Then I will post BookSpinBingo and mark it SPOILER. Then I will create a post where I tag everyone and let them know that those two spoiler posts are available. Then you are free to check the numbers whenever you are ready!!! I would ask that as people are posting their BookSpin reads for the month if you could please avoid saying the actual numbers until March 2 or later, that would be wonderful!!

We are super stoked about ⬇ 1w

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) our new home and I actually kind of enjoy the fresh-start-feeling of moving/nesting, so things are good here!! We are taking the dogs out this afternoon to give them their first sniff-around of the new place!! Thankfully it is only a couple miles from here so that is definitely helping the moving process!!

AND I work at an orchard so they own a ton of milk crates, which we use for storing/hauling/delivering jugs of cider. No cider ⬇ 1w

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) in February, so I am free to borrow all the crates and am using them to pack/haul my ~2000 books and it's amazing!! My husband already has huge plans for the new LIBRARY ROOM as well!!!!!

Anyway, I should still be on here most mornings, so I'm looking forward to seeing everyone's lists. Happy Spinning, everyone!! 1w
