We're using this one.

[clara]

I am 21% through the prequel, in the middle of chapter 5.
my thoughts:
(view spoiler)[for the momment, it is great. there's not a lot to say because it's really just the beginning, and beside little informations we don't get much. but as far as I am, I really love Dorothy and can't wait to go farther into the story, ok, I'm going back to my book! (hide spoiler)]

[rachel, x]

chapter one: (view spoiler)[What a great introduction. I'm absolutely intrigued. (hide spoiler)]

chapter two: (view spoiler)[Dorothy isn't very nice. (hide spoiler)]

chapter four: (view spoiler)[What a horrible friend she is! Dorothy wasn't very kind to her aunt, least she was nice to try and fix a dress when she knew that she wanted a dress. (hide spoiler)]

chapter five: (view spoiler)[Yes, off to Oz! (hide spoiler)]

chapter six: (view spoiler)[I think this is going to be a different Oz than Dorothy remembered. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[I have to say I am intrigued too but I don't really like Dorothy. :/ (hide spoiler)]

[clara]

about chapter 4:
(view spoiler)[well, I guess I can understand what feels Dorothy, I mean, ok she wasn't nice to her aunt but she tried to fix it, and as we can see her life isn't that simple, it's maybe just a way to protect herself, she's friendless, her old friend thinks she's insane, so yeah. but I don't like the way she want to be recognized by everyone, every single time. (hide spoiler)]

about chapter 6:
(view spoiler)[yeah, I think too, apparently a lot changed during the time she was back in "real life" (I guess I could say), and I'm excited to see what changed and why, and how it will be fixed! (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[I guess it could be and I guess he was disappointed and everyone laughed at her so she was probably embarrassed. (hide spoiler)]

[rachel, x]

chapter 10: (view spoiler)[Why is Dorothy being weird about the princess? (hide spoiler)]

chapter 13: (view spoiler)[This is taking a rather "weird" tone now. (hide spoiler)]

chapter 14: (view spoiler)[She can suddenly master magic? Just like that? A little too quick for my liking. (hide spoiler)]

chapter 16: (view spoiler)[This magic is working way too quickly? (hide spoiler)]

chapter 19, 100% - (view spoiler)[Not my forte. What a little bitch Dorothy turned into. Ozma was obviously correct. I cannot believe she did that to her and then her aunt and uncle! :'( (hide spoiler)]

[clara]

hell! that was fast, I'm only at chapter 7, I'm gonna read some more to talk about chapter 7-8-9-10 with you.

Ahaha! Okay. :) Its quite a short novella. :)

[clara]

I'm at chapter 10. I'm not able to see your spoiler about this chapter right now but I'll when I'll be on my computer.

(view spoiler)[I'm not dissapointed at all. and Dorothy does right in mixing my feelings and thoughs about Ozma. I'm excited to know more about what happened to Glinda and Oz. for scarecrow, idk I feel like he's weird now. ugh. and her uncle and aunt, why can't she just send them back and stay in Oz? (hide spoiler)]

[Rebecca]

you guys are going to hate me, I'm going to be slow at reading these books, I have an exam Wednesday and thursday which I need to prepare for. I've read the first chapter and am going to continue up to chapter 5 then start work. SORRY

it's ok, take your time. studying is a lot more important than reading. be careful with your spoiler we can see it.

chapter 10- middle 11:
(view spoiler)[I have to move out so I can't contiue the chapter 11 for now but jeezzzz what's going on with that princess, why Dorothy has this bad feeling about her? ughhh (hide spoiler)]

[Rebecca]

shit, sorry about that... I'm up to chapter five- (view spoiler)[ I've got to say I do like it so far but Dorothy seems really like a spoiled brat and I feel really bad for aunt em. But she's going back to Oz now so hopefully she'll get whatever she wants (view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

[Tessa]

@Rebecca use < instead of [

So, I was busy reading Roomies, but I finally got to this one :) .
Chapter 6
(view spoiler)[I also don't like Dorothy. I think she's spoiled. Which is strange, because she wasn't like this in the original book. Her kindness and selflessness is what in the end helped her kill the witches [none by her own accord]. So yes, I think this novella will show us where Dorothy went wrong. Probably OZ sparked that feeling in her, the need to be admired. I'm sorry for her adoptive parents. I have a feeling their story won't end well. :( (hide spoiler)]

[clara]

@Tessa: (view spoiler)[ugh, I don't want her aunt and uncle being in danger just because of her behavior :( (hide spoiler)]

about chapter 11:
(view spoiler)[OK, I said I like Dorothy, NOT ANYMORE. especially because of one sentence
"Maybe I was just the teeniest bit jealous that she got to live like this, all thanks to me."
and, still feeling like Ozma is playing the nice girl to get Dorothy as friend, and act like the true princess she is behind D's back, nah? (hide spoiler)]

[Rebecca]

69% end of chapter 14 calling it a night. (view spoiler)[ so yeah I really don't like Dorothy especially when she snapped at Aunt em and uncle Henry at breakfast with the lion tinman and scarecrow that was just plain rude. not sure what's going on with this ozma chick but then again at the minute she's no worse than Dorothy. I would power through the night and finish it but then I'd be wrecked and I need to do more work tomorrow for exam. (view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

I (view spoiler)[really don't like Dorothy. I agreed that she is spoilt and I feel sorry for Aunty Em/Uncle Henry! (hide spoiler)]

about chapter 11:."

(view spoiler)[She is so up herself! Thinking she is like bloody royalty or something. (hide spoiler)]

Rebecca wrote: "69% end of chapter 14 calling it a night. [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[She is horrible and rude. Not worth staying up for!! :) (hide spoiler)]

[Rebecca]

Finished (view spoiler)[ it's a bloody good job the next book is called 'Dorothy must die' because right now I want to rip her throat from her neck with my bare hands. What a b****! How could she not care that her Aunt and Uncle just died? I am truely truely shocked. Which is probably a good thing because it's what the author wanted me to feel. All I'm saying is let's kill this b**** roll on 'Dorothy must die'! (view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

[rachel, x]

Rebecca wrote: "Finished [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[She certainly was not likeable! :/ (hide spoiler)]

[clara]

finished too.
(view spoiler)[omg, I knew something bad was going to happen to her aunt and uncle, so I was prepared, but what bitch you must be to react as Dorothy. It's unbelievable. I'm so mad at her. And I'm still confused about which one, between Ozma and Glinda is the nice one, and who's best for Oz.

@Rebecca: I agree with you, let's use her freaking red high heels to kill her. ;)

(hide spoiler)]

can wait for us to begin Dorothy must die!

[rachel, x]

@Clare: (view spoiler)[It was obvious that something was going to happen to them but I was still shocked if that makes sense. Dorothy is simply a horrible person.

I know, I am still confused about Glinda and Ozma! (hide spoiler)]

[Reina Marie]

I'm kinda late, but oh well.
End of chapter 3 (view spoiler)[ wow, Dorothy's life sucked. Poor Dorothy. :/ (hide spoiler)]

[Reina Marie]

End of chapter 12 (view spoiler)[ What's up with Dorothy's shoes? Why did it react that way? *sigh*

Ozma creepes me out. She reminds me of Esther in the movie 'Orphan' (hide spoiler)]

[clara]

@Summer: I felt the same way, I can't wait for you to be over with this, and be able to talk about it freely! ;)

[Reina Marie]

End of chapter 16 (view spoiler)[ Oh boy, is Dorothy gonna be the villain this time? (hide spoiler)]

[Reina Marie]

Done reading. (view spoiler)[ Wow, that was dark. Dorothy's Aunt and Uncle freakin' died. If Toto died too, I would've thrown a fit. (hide spoiler)] Dorothy Must Die is gonna be good. :)

So did anyone end up having a review copy of this or Dorothy Must Die? :_

[clara]

GIRLS, I got a major problem I don't know if I will be able to read Dorothy must die in time. (and yeah, this makes me sad, mad and everything). I'm leaving for 4 days in Paris on Friday and I used to be sick in car and unable to read. but since few months it seems to be okay when I'm reading on my way to school in the bus, so I'll keep you updated if I can do it or not on Friday.

I won't stop praying until then

We can change the date easily Clare. I am heaps busy this month so it would be a relief to lower my buddy reads. We can read it when you get back. :)

[Rebecca]

are we not doing it on thursday?

[clara]

nah don't change the day for me, I'll try to do my best before monday. it begins tomorrow yes Rebecca (:

[Tessa]

I'm also leaving until 25 may. Something came up and I can't do any buddy reads until then. I need to stay focused. Sorry :( .

[Reina Marie]

So, who already has their copy of Dorothy Must Die?
I really need to read this today (May 8) since I'm kinda on a schedule. :/
Is it okay if I read ahead?

I might try and squeeze this one in. After .

[Reina Marie]

@Rachel: okay. I'll just start updating then. :)

[Reina Marie]

End of chapter 3 (view spoiler)[ who is this boy? he sounds cute (hide spoiler)]

[Reina Marie]

End of chapter 12 (view spoiler)[ Ooohh a group of Wicked Witches! Cool :) (hide spoiler)]

End of chapter 14
(view spoiler)[ There goes the title.
Who is this other boy, tho? I kinda miss Pete. (hide spoiler)]

[Reina Marie]

End of chapter 16
(view spoiler)[ OH MY. NOX!
Bye Pete, Nox is way hotter. HAHA! (hide spoiler)]

End of Chapter 20 (view spoiler)[ I don't know what's happening anymore (hide spoiler)]

[Reina Marie]

End of chapter 26
(view spoiler)[ That was weird. Will Ozma ever return to her normal state? (hide spoiler)]

End of chapter 30 (view spoiler)[ Who is Pete exactly?
(hide spoiler)]

[Reina Marie]

End of chapter 41 (view spoiler)[ KILL HER ALREADY! SHE NEEDS TO DIEEEEE! (hide spoiler)]

Done reading (view spoiler)[ '''OKAY, WTF!? Pete was Ozma all along?! Awkward! Well I guess it's Amy and Nox then.
The whole book was not what I expected. The synopsis made me think that Amy was somehow the evil equivalent of Dorothy. I thought that they were flown by the tornado together, but it was not mentioned in the 'original' story because Dorothy wanted the spotlight. IDK. I just thought that. (hide spoiler)]

[clara]

fast reader, hope I'll read this one tomorrow, because today I need to finish Roomies, but count on me to update my thougts all week-end! hope it was a good read!

[Rebecca]

I will start tonight! Promise :)

[Tessa]

So, I'm back and did start to read this. I'm hoping it's going to be better than "No place like OZ". That novella was just so freaking boring.
