It was fun to hear the original story and how it Wicked and the Wizard of Oz movies differ from it. Simply written but a fun story!

Interesting enough short story. I found myself a little lost at times and had to go back and relisten to parts. Interesting for the time it was written but can’t say I’d read again

Fun short story but I can’t say that I particularly love the way it’s written. This was my first Holmes story (I think?) so maybe I should try another and see if I like Doyle’s writing there more

Fun book but it took be a bit to get into it. I’ve been told that the first book in the series is the worst, so I’ll keep reading in hopes it gets a bit more interesting. Either way, it was a fun story and the twist at the end surprised me!

Fascinating commentary on Powers that Be and how people can who liberate a group can end up just as bad as the previous oppressors. Delightfully well done and thought-provoking

Cute board book with Rudolph as a character. I read it growing up. There’s not really a plot to it, so that’s a bummer, but it’s great to help kids read

Wow. Ten books later and I was still hooked at every line. I’ve cried multiple times throughout this series and love it every step of the way. What a beautiful way to end it all. 🥹💜
