Weekly Dippit Round Up of Audiobooks

This week I have listened to 2 audiobooks and had a persistent migraine so I wasn’t able to do a lot of reading but I did rest a lot. 

This week I listened to…

1. The Marvelous Land of Oz by L. Frank Baum

2. Ozma of Oz by L. Frank Baum

And this is what I thought about them.

The Marvelous Land of Oz by L. Frank Baum

This book is good, this is a continuation of The Wizard of Oz.This book is about Tip who makes a scarecrow of type of a man with a jack o'lantern for a head (Jack the pumpkin head). He lives with a witch who makes this makeshift man come to life. Together Tip and the jack o'lantern man go on an adventure to the land of Oz. Tip makes a makeshift horse and makes him up to life to get to Oz faster.Once in Oz, it takes taken over by an army of woman. The head of this army is a red haired girl who is named Ozma and who is the true princess of Oz and continues to rule the city.Tip and his gang who include the scarecrow and the tin man from the Wizard of Oz to help them solve and discover who Ozma really is.

Ozma of Oz by L. Frank Baum

This book was really weird and is what I believe Return to Oz is based on.This book follows Dorthy on an adventure in the land of Oz where she meets Belinda a chicken who lays an egg every day and a robot named Tic Tok who needs to be wound every day.At first they meet a queen who wants Dorthy's head, they escape her to then end up meeting more people like Jack the Pumpkin Head, the scarecrow, Sawhorse and the Tin-man. Together the troupe meets the king of the underground who is allergic to eggs.Afterwards they end up meeting another king who makes them play a guessing game. Dorthy and the troupe go to the Emerald City for a magical belt and then to see Glinda where she instructs Dorthy and Ozma on how to use the belt so Dorthy can go back to Kansas.It is a very strange story that I would not suggest.

Overall, I think it has been a good week and maybe need I just need to be more accepting of audiobooks and listen to them as I rest and maybe craft in the future and not be so hard on myself for having a migraine and not really reading a book.

Either way, I am looking forward to the next few weeks as I do have some time off and I think that they are going to be  worth it and I can read and heal a lot and know that what I am doing is good for me and that I do want to be able to heal and progress and get into some good routines of reading.

Happy reading everyone and we will catch you on the next Dippit!
