A Visit to Oz Challenge

Anastasia at Birdbrain(ed) Book Blog is hosting this new challenge. I figured I would join since I have been reading the series off and on for awhile now.

Rules:

• You’ve seen the movie, you’ve seen the musical– but have you read the book? And did you know there’s 13 other books, plus an additional 26 written by non-Baum authors? Not to mention all the apocrypha that’s been published.
• A minimum of five books.
• From March 31 to December 31!
• More rules HERE.

I have already read the first four of the Oz series by L. Frank Baum so I will be starting after that. I’ll date the story after I have finished it.

My List:

1. The Road to Oz by L. Frank Baum – FINISHED APR 15 2009
2. The Emerald City of Oz by L. Frank Baum – FINISHED JUNE 8, 2009
3. The Patchwork Girl of Oz by L. Frank Baum – FINISHED NOV 9, 2009
4. Tik-Tok of Oz by L. Frank Baum – FINISHED DEC 5, 2009
5. The Scarecrow of Oz by L. Frank Baum – FINISHED DEC 5, 2009

And just in case I want to continue -

• Rinkitink of Oz
• The Lost Princess of Oz
• The Tin Woodman of Oz
• The Magic of Oz
• Glinda of Oz

Teaser Tuesdays

TEASER TUESDAYS asks you to:

Grab your current read. Let the book fall open to a random page. Share with us two (2) “teaser” sentences from that page, somewhere between lines 7 and 12. You also need to share the title of the book that you’re getting your “teaser” from … that way people can have some great book recommendations if they like the teaser you’ve given!

This week I am reading from – Naked in Death by J.D. Robb
