Themes: 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! 🪄🫧💚

Somebody points out to the Tin Man that he never reconnected with the girl whose love caused him to be chopped up and turned to tin. Time for an adventure! The usual random bizarre assortment of creatures and places await. I appreciated Baum explaining a bit of the history of Oz becoming a fairyland where no one dies, though as a mom I‘m horrified at the prospect of babies staying babies forever. Then again, if they can‘t die, maybe not so bad?

I‘m either 2 days late OR 5 days early for #FridayHappyReadingHour 🤣 But either way, here I am with my wine, my cheese & crackers and my Toto ebook (also pictured is my hubby‘s iced tea lol). The laundry from vacation is all done and put away, groceries for the week have been purchased and I even got a car wash and vacuumed out the sand from our beach day 🙌 How many hours until Friday….?

Wicked pj party!!

Inspired by Matt's photo last night of a rainbow view from our backyard during a much-needed monsoon rainstorm. 💛💜🧡

Judy sang to us,
“Somewhere over the rainbow ...“
Or was it Dorothy?

Princess Ozma has been kidnapped, & all the magical artifacts of Oz have vanished. Dorothy puts together a team to rescue the lost princess.

I remember loving this one as a kid, because it‘s a dramatic search & rescue, all the girls are together, & my favorite animals. And I adored the bears. I also appreciated the resolution with Ugu. But I hadn‘t remembered the Lion or Scraps being quite so condescending to every one around them. 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

I really liked this one! There‘s an actual plot and a reason they can‘t just fix everything with one of their magical objects (and the magic belt seems to exist again, though of course it doesn‘t work the way it did originally). Plus there‘s lots of Scraps being smarter than everybody. I didn‘t like the way the animals were so mean to each other, though. #BeyondtheYellowBrickRoad

Dorothy lived in the midst of the great Kansas prairies, with Uncle Henry, who was a farmer, and Aunt Em, who was the farmer‘s wife.
