Welcome to Litsy!

Very fun and silly story! It reminded me of a couple of the Narnia books—I wonder if Lewis had read it. Dorothy, the Wizard, a boy named Zeb, a horse named Jim, and a kitten named Eureka travel through many lands under the earth, each dangerous in its own whimsical way. The Wizard is kind of a badass in this book. It irritated me that it took Dorothy so long to come up with her solution. But at least her speech didn‘t have so many apostrophes.

I got behind last month on #BeyondTheYellowBrickRoad but I‘m loving these books. I‘m a big fan of Return To Oz & this was such a fun read. As always the books & movie are slightly different but I love Billina & Tik-Tok. Billina especially cracks me up! Looking forward to reading the rest of the series. And as always, I‘m struck by the creativity of these books, especially considering the time period they were written. 5⭐️🐓🐓🥚

Just can‘t get into this like I did Wicked. Something is just not hitting the same. Has anyone felt the same? Read the others? Maybe I skip this one and go to the next?

When I was a kid this movie was on TV every year at the holidays. It‘s the only movie on the list that I‘ve seen. Some of these movies I‘ve never heard of before, some of these posters are scary, and a few of these movies are actually on my TBW list.
1. The Thin Man
2. Top Hat
3. Goodbye Mr. Chips
4. The Adventures of Robin Hood

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 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

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!🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
