A complex #LoveHatePairing of Elphaba and Glinda. Loved being able to take my older granddaughters to see Wicked on Broadway when each was a Senior in high school. Loved Part One of the movie version, too. May never read the book, though.

Finished my February book club pick. This was a slower read…I enjoyed the alternative view of Oz and the events leading up to Dorothy‘s arrival.
“Oh yes,” the Wizard said, tapping his cane lightly against the yellow bricks. “I am very ready indeed.”

pickBook 2 is a low pick for me. It has a lot of plot, but it had an aimless feeling to it. I did like the new characters though. #BeyondtheYellowBrickRoad
Seeing this again today… can‘t wait!!
pickI had to re-read this book before I watch the movie. I had read it years ago, and remembered liking it. It was just as good as I remembered. It‘s a very intense, politically driven story. I think that parts of it can be interpreted differently, and it did leave me with a few questions. It wasn‘t until the very end that Dorothy and her crew appeared in the story. I do like the way that the loose ends seemed to come together at the end.
pickAfter Tip runs away from the witch who raised him, he teams up w/ the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodsman, & new friends to save the Emerald City from an army of revolters.
I forgot just how silly this one is! My dislike of General Jinjur & her army & the revolution storyline is mostly outweighed by my love for the Woggle-Bug‘s jokes, the Gump, & the Sawhorse! & I love the reactions to Ozma‘s reveal. & so much new world building!🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
pickI thoroughly enjoyed reading this for #BeyondTheYellowBrickRoad - I dunno about you guys but old Mombi here used to FREAK ME OUT when I was a kid, watching Return To Oz. The story in the movie is quite a bit different, but Mombi is an ever present evil throughout the book. I‘m amazed once again at the creativity of Mr. Baum & can only imagine what kids back then thought of these wonderful books. 5⭐️
so-soThis book was a good way to wrap up the series. I give it 3.5 pages out of 5. If you wanna hear my full review/rant here's a link to it:
