Finally finished Wicked

"In the life of a Witch, there is no after, in the ever after of a Witch, there is no happily; in the story of a Witch, there is no afterword. Of that part that is beyond the life story, beyond the story of the life, there is--alas, or perhaps thank mercy--no telling. She was dead, dead and gone, and all that was left of her was the carapace of her reputation for malice."

I just finished Wicked! Although, it was a major struggle to finish for me, I am glad I did. I thought the plot was rather dry and slow-moving but, in the end, everything sort of came together. It definitely puts a whole different spin on the story of The Wizard of Oz. After reading Wicked, I actually feel really bad for the Wicked Witch and the hand life dealt her. At any rate, I don't think I will continue to read the series; again, it was just a little too dry for me.

At this point, I have several books checked out from the library! I am still reading If I Did It-the OJ Simpson book and, upon Carlin's recommendation, am also checking out Moose by Stephanie Klein. Trying to get as much reading in as I can before graduate school starts! Hope everyone is doing well!
