I swear I HAVE been reading in my spare time. I’ve just been very busy and unmotivated lately. Lol

Kind of mad at Jenny for telling Laoghaire that Claire was back. That wasn’t her business.

Bad idea to read before bed because the next chapter is gonna be a good one.

Currently reading while in a pub waiting for my food/comedy to start, stifling laughs because I read that Claire thought Fergus was an attacker and let him have it. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 “is that your fergus?” She says. As he’s groaning in the road. I can’t.

“‘It sounds very hard for you all. How did your mama die?’
“‘She died in childbirth, and this is the end of the personal interview.’”
Yes. Queen. Set them boundaries. You barely know this dude(plus he’s creepy).

Boq is a stalker…weirdo. I don’t like him at all. But I do like the way he called out Galinda for being a hypocrite. She talks so much shit about how much she hates Elphie but keeps her around as a friend but doesn’t want to be friends with Boq. I do understand Galinda’s side though. She shouldn’t have to. No is no. Go away.

Also! Glinda doesn’t beat around the bush and immediately tells Boq that she has no interest in him. Savagely. So knowing that he keeps going after her….comes off as creepy. Stalkerish even….

Oof. Glinda shitting on Boq. Hahahahahaha gd

I had to go back and reread a few pages because I forgot where I was.
After the “animals should be seen not heard” bit-Madam Morrible just came right out as a racist. Also-she is AWFUL to Elphie! In the musical she’s close with Elphie and insists on teaching her. But in the book she wants to focus on natural magic and is insisting Glinda take on sorcery. Also Glinda hates sorcery because it’s hard?

I really feel like the entire first half of this book/show was just a lesson on the word "Consent". Don't touch Jaime without CONSENT!!!

In the musical Madam Morrible has no interest or hope in teaching Galinda magic/sorcery. So it's pretty weird that in the book she is trying to convince Galinda to take those classes next semester. Weird that Galinda has no interest at all when in the musical she is so excited.

"Well I wouldn't know an evil thing if it fell on me," said Galinda.
lol Some subtle foreshadowing

"I don't read very well. SO I don't think I think very well either." Galinda smiled. "I dress to kill, though." YASSSSSSS, slaaayyyy

"You're writing a poem it sounds like. Why ever would a girl be interested in evil?"
"I'm not interested in it. It's just what the early sermons are all on about. So I'm thinking about what they're thinking about, that's all"
She's thinking about evil because she's been called evil all her life :(

I wonder how many people were upset when they read that Galinda/Glinda was a racist?

"Workers from the Emerald City and other places, they to come to Quadling Country. They to look and taste and sample the air, the water, the soil. They to plant the highway. Quadlings to know this is wasted time and wasted effort. They do not listen to Quadling voices." Accurate.

:I can wander into Rush Margins this afternoon and find where Frex is trying to hold his revival meeting and whisper a few words to him. While Frex is busy cranking up the religious ardor of Rush Margins sluggards, would he be interested in knowing that his wife is up with Turtle Heart?" Yup....I'm in love with Nanny.

"The current Ozma is just about the age of Elphaba"
--Oh cool! This is the Ozma I know!
"So her father, Pastorius, is the Ozma Regent. The good man will rule until Ozma Tippetarius is old enough to take the throne"
--except the moment she does she gets trapped in the mirror by Princess Mombi

*stops book to open it on my phone because it turned unexpectedly spicy* lol
