Teen + husband at their weekly bourbon night (well bourbon/whiskey night for the husband, hanging out with their friends for the teen 😂) means I can have a Mama Night at my favorite local bar/restaurant!
My final total is 756 points for #GrimReaders !
#HauntedShelf was so much fun @CSeydel and @PuddleJumper !
🧙🏻 My character costume on Halloween was Elphaba!
pickThis book was absolutely packed with information about L Frank Baum and the extraordinary time period in which he lived. He also seemed to have been present for, or just on the heels of, most of the major events I knew about during this time. He was at the 1893 Chicago World's Fair, for example. Loncraine did a phenomenal job pointing out possible influences and making connections between Baum's real and fictional worlds.
"Baum's ability to create vivid, odd characters and varied, weird kingdoms wasn't matched by an ability to build well-structured and satisfying plots." Isn't *that* the truth? ? #beyondtheyellowbrickroad
pickA wonderful reimagining from the perspective of a little known Aunt Em, Dorothy of Frank L. Baum/Wizard of Oz fame.
Now I need to hunt down others from this author.
so-soI just don't know about these books.😂 Rikitink in Oz was annoying & nothing Oz-related showed up until chapter 20. I liked The Lost Princess of Oz, which had a relatively tight plot. Then we ended with The Tin Woodman of Oz, which was bizarre. After all this time, Nick Chopper is going to go back & offer to marry the munchkin girl he used to love & make her empress. So egotistical for kind Nick! And we meet Oz's version of Frankenstein's monster.
pickThemes: Wizard of Oz retelling, Found Family, Sweet and Humorous read
This was a fun read! I loved the existing connections to The Wizard of Oz but also loved the new additions A. J. brought to the story. Would definitely recommend to any Wizard of Oz fan! 🪄🫧💚
