I found the perfect green item for #litsywalkersbingo while on my #audiowalk today. #litsywalker

“It‘s green,” he finally said. “Nanny, it‘s green as moss.” #greenitem
“She‘s green,you mean. It‘s a she, for heaven‘s sake.” #Elphaba

Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West | Gregory Maguire

I still haven't ever read Wicked, but my husband loves the series. I'll read it someday. I found this image and really loved it. #Elphaba #witchyreads

hmgbrdhart This is the only book I ever bailed on. There was too much world specific terminology that wasn't explained or couldn't be readily ferreted out by context clues. I got frustrated and quit. 6y

booksandsympathy @hmgbrdhart That sucks. I almost bailed on his retelling of Cinderella, but powered through and enjoyed it in the end. 6y

booksandsympathy @hmgbrdhart Also, I can't believe you've only bailed on one book! 😳 I used to not, but if it doesn't hold my interest or something in it really bothers me, I don't hesitate to bail anymore. There's still only 3 or 4 books I've done that with. 6y

Linsy That is a great cover! I haven‘t read yet either, but posts like these remind me I need to!! 💚 6y

Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West | Gregory Maguire

I‘ve never seen the show (I don‘t live under a rock, I swear), but I read this book years ago and loved it. #Elphaba is a bad ass witch who knows how to resist.

Also, with the stunning amount of hypocrisy and bullshit going on in DC right now, I‘m feeling pretty wicked myself. 😡 👿

Chrissyreadit I‘ve seen it twice on Broadway and agree-Elphaba is one awesome badass. #readresistrise 6y

monalyisha Hmmm! I thought I had no interest in this series & now I‘m seriously rethinking! 😱 6y

sprainedbrain @monalyisha I can‘t speak for the rest of the series... I have them, but have never read them. But I loved Wicked! 6y

Andrew65 I‘ve never seen it either! 6y

Maria514626 Oh my goodness. Needed to see this today. Going to the library site right now. 6y

Maria514626 Aha! Ebook is available! 👏👏🤛🤛 6y

APLitlife My favorite broadway musical! The book is quite different from the show, though. 6y

sprainedbrain @Maria514626 Thank goodness for instant book gratification on a day like today. I hope you enjoy it. 6y

JaclynW Wicked is my second favorite musical. I enjoyed the book too. Elphaba is my favorite! This political climate has me feeling *wicked* as well!! Grrr! 🧙‍♀️ 6y

Reggie One of my favorite parts of this book is where her and the Vinkus are underground rebels.... and then he disappears. 6y

sprainedbrain @Reggie Ha! Not a fan of Fiyero? 6y

Reggie No, it‘s that they were in love and Elphaba who always seemed to be second best, to a sister, to a man both her parents loved, finally has someone to herself, even if he was married. And then I felt like it was strengthened by the work they felt they were doing they thought would make their world a better place. And then I was so hurt for her when he died. This book is one of my all time faves. 6y

sprainedbrain @Reggie I just love Elphaba... Maybe I haven‘t read the other books because they aren‘t about her? Have you read the rest of the series? 6y

Linsy I need to read this! I love the music, but haven‘t seen the musical either! 😈 6y

Reggie I haven‘t read any of the others in the series. I kinda feel like this was so great that the others would be a let down. P.s. someone just won a jackpot here at my casino from Iowa. 6y

sprainedbrain @Reggie Exactly how I feel! And I wish that was me. 😂 6y

How to Cook Children: A Grisly Recipe Book | Martin Howard, Colin Stimpson

pick

#WitchyReads Day 6: Esmelia Sniff, the “General Editor” of the book, who has an #Elphaba vibe invited a few select witches from all over the world to share their famous kid-recipes. I love her nagging, difficult-to-please voice dripping with venomous wit and biting sarcasm. If you feel like going Japanese, try The Dishonourable Lady Soo-Shi‘s recipe of Seared Tina in Boy Sauce on a Bed of Fragrant Lice. My full review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-7V5
