Welcome to Litsy!

I 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.

Thank You @catsandbooks for #ShowAndTellTuesday ☺️👍🏼🎨💝.

Made this from recycled and upcycled materials.

This is a pricetag from a Peter Rabbit plush. The front has a splendid image of Peter Rabbit, but the back had the product information and the barcode box.

This is made from a material that allowed me to sand off the wording and barcode.

My favorite book of May was Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm, which I read with #KindredSpiritsBuddyRead and #ChildrensClassicRead2024 .

A favourite when I was a child. I think only read it as a Readers Digest edition though.
Spotted at the lovely Hollyhock House LA.

I love Peter Pan so of course I had to buy another book . I want all the books

The first half of this book was a pick. The second half really fell off and felt like Wiggin couldn't really decide where she wanted to take the story so it didn't go much of anywhere. However, I was glad to finally read this classic and enjoyed discussing its influence on Anne of Green Gables with the #KindredSpirits Is it plagiarism if you write it a million times better than the original? 😂

A soft pick for Rebecca! With all the #KindredSpiritsBuddyRead and #ChildrensClassicRead2024 discussion, I don‘t have a whole lot more to add. 😊 This is charming and sweet, and Rebecca as a character is delightful. However, the second half of the book was underdeveloped, and the ending felt rushed. Even so, I‘m glad I finally read this classic—it brought me joy (and it was fun to discover and goggle at all the Anne of Green Gables similarities!)

“In the actual—this painful kingdom of time and chance—are Care, Canker, and Sorrow; with thought, with the ideal, is immortal hilarity—the Rose of Joy; round it all the Muses sing.”

I remember LMM quoting and discussing this Emerson quote somewhere, maybe in a letter to MacMillan? Now I need to track it down! It‘s interesting to see it referenced here, in a children‘s book that LMM almost certainly read. #KindredSpiritsBuddyRead #LMMAdjacent
