Ozma! The dress is too big and I could easily have fixed that in about 5 minutes but decided not to bother. Very pleased with the flower crown, which was the whole point of this, and the Magic Belt. Already have a handful of Dorothy costumes, so I think I’d like to do Polychrome next. #sewing #halloween #ozma #oz #lfrankbaum #ozmaofoz https://www.instagram.com/p/Cjg3M1wOjfz/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

✨The Emerald City of Oz✨ . “To be angry once in a while is really good fun, because it makes others so miserable. But to be angry morning, noon and night, as I am, grows monotonous and prevents my gaining any other pleasure in life.” . This is the sixth book in the Wizard of Oz series and follows Dorothy and her aunt and uncle in the land of Oz. . I have a lot of thoughts about this installment in the Oz series. I won’t bore you with them all here but I’ll probably include them all in my next “recent reads” blog post. I will say that there were definitely some funny moments in this story, the Whimsies and the Nome King specifically made me laugh out loud. This book is very focused on good vs. evil as there is a war looming on the horizon. Baum’s narrative structure in this story flipped back and forth between the Nome King and Dorothy and I was excited to see how these plot lines came together but they just… didn’t really. The ending felt a little cheap. I also think the VERY end of the book had some anti-immigrant rhetoric and I was a bit confused? I don’t want to spoil anything but it was strange. Baum made the ending seem like this is the last book in the series but clearly there’s at least eight more to go so I’m interested to see what’s going to happen next. . #thewizardofoz #lfrankbaum #oz #childrensliterature #bookreview #bookrecommendations #bookblogger #bookblog #bookishcommunity #bookstagrammer #bookstagram #bibliophile #bookishlovegroup #bookishlove #readersofinstagram #reader #books #book #bookworm #bookish #booknerd #instabook #booksofinstagram #bookphotography #read #booklove #booksbooksbooks #instabooks #igreads #bookcommunity (at Wilmington, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLFDMd1gafe/?igshid=w3jz9m6xfzs1
