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

Frex looking over at Melena and noticing that she's 1. not high anymore. 2. Glowing and 3. smiling because she's being dicked down by Turtle Heart. lolol Men truly are oblivious.

Oh cool! Ozma Tippetarius is the Ozma that I know!
She eventually gets trapped in a mirror by the Gnome King and Momby.

I should go back and read the OG Wizard of Oz books. I have them and I know of Ozma, but more background info might help fill in some gaps.

dude... is your life THAT boring? Is your marriage that shitty? Damn have some respect for yourself.

"Shall we go walk by the edge of the lake today and maybe you'll drown?"
"Maybe we'll go out in a boat and tip over!" Melena shrieked.

Bro, this lady is fucking mean. Thank god you die.

"But I once remember a tinker with a funny accent gave me a draft of some heady brew from a green, glass bottle. And I had rare expansive dreams, Nanny, of the Other World -cities of glass and smoke-noise and color- I tried to remember."
A part of me wonders if she was drugged or drank too much and the wizard (we ALL KNOW by now this is the wizard she's referring to) took advantage of Melena. But then again.....

Brooooooo Melena! This fucking bitch ahahahaha Imagine having a bastard child and not remembering the details of it all. Letting every Bob, Dick and Tom in the house. Grief!

"Melena, groggy from pinlobble leaves as usual, arched an eyebrow in confusion" Cool so we're self medicating now.

"'The child is no devil!' snapped Nanny. She's no angel either, she thought, but kept that to herself."
*Nanny is a saint

Why does she smell? I'm confused.
Google says she smells like after birth and because she's allergic to water, she hasn't been washed.
Poor thing :(

Three weeks old and flinching at the touch of another person? That hurts my soul.
THEY HAVEN'T PICKED HER UP SINCE SHE WAS A BABY!? *cries* oh my god, they're so evil! :'(

"'Hush.' Nany detested weeping men" Same, Nanny lol

So the next few posts are all the hand written notes I have made while reading haha So heres the first one:
*Book version: Nanny is a woman who used to take care of Melena as a baby. Movie version: Nanny is a bear called Dulcibear
Broadway: She doesnt even exist as a character.

This book is still hard to follow....I literally have sparknotes open. I regret this.

Kind of relieved that they investigate Susie's case more than they do in the movie. In the movie, Lindsey and Jack know that it's Mr. Harvey and they just live with that. I'm glad that Susie was never forgotten and even neighbors and friends are still investigating her death a year after. BASICALLY DOING LEN'S JOB FOR HIM BECAUSE HE'S TOO FOCUSED ON SLEEPING WITH A MARRIED WOMAN!

Didn't expect Susie's Dad to realize it was Mr. Harvey that murdered her, so early on in the book. I feel like in the movie at least, it took a minute for him to pick up on how unsettling Mr. Harvey is.
