Well, I'm finally getting around to doing something I have always wanted to do since I was pretty little. I LOVED the movies: "The Wizard of OZ" and "The Return to OZ". My best friend growing up, Katrine, told me there were other stories and lands and people in the books and I have always been fascinated by that! Every time I tried to figure out which one to read at the library I got too confused and never did it. Well, now that I am a regular at our library and feel more comfortable talking to the ladies there, I asked them to help me figure it out. Turns out there are 39 books! Can you believe it? There is even a separate book telling about all the other characters and books, when they were written, and by who; I checked that out, of course! I am now on the 4th written book and I love it! Now, eventually I will get to the things I have wanted and always needed to do as an adult--hopefully before I'm 90ish.

You are awesome...now I'm thinking I better check "Oz" out...really...check it out from the library. I love free stuff.

Wow, I never knew there were so many books about Oz. I wish I would have known, all I did while on bedrest last spring was read, and that would have been a good long series to keep my occupied!
Wow, that is a huge endeavor! Good for you! Enjoy!
Antie Em! Antie Em!
I didn't know there were so many books. I loved "Return to Oz" as a kid, especially the part with the ham sandwiches in the apple lunch pails growing on the tree.
PS the monkies with the roller skates were scary.
Yoy go! Girl!
What I meant to type was...
You go! Girl!
I'm impressed that you remembered one of my babblings about the books I used to read. Those books were fun, and I must recommend the ones that were written by L Frank Baum only. I read others and they just didn't have the same creativity (some would say weirdness). At least that could pare your list down a little, right?
And yes, I also love the lunch pail tree. I cannot eat a ham sandwich without thinking of it.
