Even though we haven’t read it yet, The Wizard of Oz is definitely on her radar – largely, I’ll admit, because of the movie. I don’t own any of the Oz books, though I’ve come close to buying my daughter a copy on several occasions. There’s a wonderful essay on the legacy and power of Baum’s Wonderful Wizard of Oz at Anita Silvey’s Children’s Book-a-Day Almanac today that can tell you far more about the Oz books that I can. The Wonderful Wizard of Oz was a critical and commercial literary phenomenon, Baum adapted it himself into an acclaimed stage musical, The Wizard of Oz became one of the (if not THE) most famous movies of all time, Dorothy and her friends have become pop culture icons, there have been comic books, novels, musicals, video games, movies, mini-series, toys, clothing lines… all from that one little new-world fairy tale that L. And, by “everything else,” I’m, of course, talking about more than just the 17 or so subsequent Oz books that were published both before and after Baum’s death. Frank Baum, the visionary author best known for his landmark children’s novel, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, and everything else that spun off from that wild American fable about a young woman named Dorothy carried by a cyclone into the magical world of Oz. Today would’ve been the 156th birthday of L. The Scarecrow and Tin Man are babies compared to Baum - they're only 112 years old.

This is simply me sharing these quotes so they can reach a larger audience and I take no credit for any of the information presented from here on out. Here is a list of quotes by people who speak much more eloquently than I can on the problems with our education system. The rigid guidelines it imposes on students, the killing of creativity and individualism, the lack of teaching in practical relevant areas of life, and the grading system that motivates students to learn and then subsequently forget information in order to receive proverbial gold stars, are a few among many issues I have with the system and the way it operates. I talk a lot about my problems with how our current education system is run today.

Elisa's last wish was for Marisol to scatter her ashes in the country of her birth.Īrriving in Havana, Marisol comes face-to-face with the contrast of Cuba's tropical, timeless beauty and its perilous political climate. Freelance writer Marisol Ferrera grew up hearing romantic stories of Cuba from her late grandmother Elisa, who was forced to flee with her family during the revolution. The daughter of a sugar baron, nineteen-year-old Elisa Perez is part of Cuba's high society, where she is largely sheltered from the country's growing political unrest-until she embarks on a clandestine affair with a passionate revolutionary. After the death of her beloved grandmother, a Cuban-American woman travels to Havana, where she discovers the roots of her identity-and unearths a family secret hidden since the revolution. Still, the obstacles that once ended their previous relationship remain, and the gulf between their worlds is too vast to ignore. Allie Nelson, twenty-nine, is now engaged to another man, but realizes that the original passion she felt for Noah has not dimmed with the passage of time. until she unexpectedly returns to his town to see him once again. Unable to find her, yet unwilling to forget the summer they spent together, Noah is content to live with only memories. Noah, thirty-one, is restoring a plantation home to its former glory, and he is haunted by images of the beautiful girl he met fourteen years earlier, a girl he loved like no other. Set amid the austere beauty of coastal North Carolina in 1946, The Notebook begins with the story of Noah Calhoun, a rural Southerner returned home from World War II. The Notebook is an achingly tender story about the enduring power of love, a story of miracles that will stay with you forever. A woman experiencing a morning ritual she doesn’t understand. A man with a faded, well-worn notebook open in his lap. I retain a special admiration for Catherine James, author of the book "Dandelion: Memoir of a Free Spirit." Immortalized with her baby son via Baron Wolmans' 1969 photos in Rolling Stone magazine plus a renowned beauty who intoxicated the likes of actual Rolling Stones, she was not only the product of the gorgeous genetics of a Hollywood entertainment-enmeshed family, but also of absolutely off the charts family dysfunction, so vile that it seems part Charles Dickens, part Edgar Allen Poe, all Hollywood Babylon, and hardly something you'd associate still happening in the 20th century of her childhood. Kudos to Lori for exhorting the film's audience to encourage new generations to rock hard instead of embracing (Michael Des Barres' fave sarcasm victim that night) Good Charlotte. Mattix had garnered fame as a teen model and pal of Sabel Starr, the NY Dolls and Iggy and the Stooges when she caught the eye then private parts of Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page Michele Overman paralleled the same arc with Zeppelin's Robert Plant and managed to retain the rare true friendship afterward. All four subjects stunning to this day, the other three women started their careers as pro fashion models before life launched its surprises in store one grenade after another. Des Barres successfully has instituted a cottage industry from her own colorful groupie past authoring four books on rock music, culture and personal history. If you’ve read any of these books, click the image to join the spoiler discussion! If you have anything to add to any of these summaries, I’d love to see your comments. I still think they’re useful, though, so that’s why we’re here: I’ve created this landing page for all of my ten-second spoilers! I won’t ever have the time to go back and write full-length summaries or reviews for these books. Bookstagram became my main priority, but I still love posting spoilers here.įor some of these books I read pre-blog, all I have are two-sentence summaries to jog my own memory. I made a Bookstagram to promote my blog, but quickly fell in love with that community. To me, there seemed to be enough of a gap that I could start my own blog of spoilers to help people like me! I found a couple of sites that spoil the endings (shouting out my new friend Jen Ryland here!), but couldn’t find everything I was looking for. When I didn’t write down the ending right away, I would try googling it to add it to my list. Often the synopsis alone isn’t enough to jog my memory! I especially needed these spoilers for books in a series, when it had been a while since I read the previous novel. I started jotting down endings because I found myself re-reading books I had already read, knowing I’d read it before but unable to recall the ending. Before I started blogging and Bookstagram, I was writing down the endings to books in my bullet journal as I finished them.
