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

BookmarkTavern I‘ve always wished that Langwidere showed up again in a later book. She‘s such an interesting character. 1w
Clare-Dragonfly @BookmarkTavern Yeah! Where did she get all those heads?! She can‘t have traded for them all, like she offered to do with Dorothy… 1w
willaful @Clare-Dragonfly I actually had a conversation about this recently! I had never wondered, assuming it was like Barbie accessories or something. 😂 My friend had always assumed she killed people for them!

I actually prefer the way Dorothy talks here. I find the first book too formal in tone to really enjoy.

Clare-Dragonfly @willaful Oh, Langwidere is definitely too lazy to kill anyone! 6d

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!🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

JenlovesJT47 Ooh I can‘t wait to read this! I love Billina in Return To Oz. 🐓 2w
Booksblanketsandahotbeverage Billina is my favorite too! 2w
BarkingMadRead Billina is the best!! 2w
Clare-Dragonfly Billina is hilarious! I think Langwidere might be my favorite, though. All she wants to do is laze about and be pretty. 2w

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.
