A nice little return to Rincewind in this Discworld instalment- although I was a little disappointed the Luggage only got a cursory mention!
Ready for #bookspin #doublespin #bookspinbingo !

"The place where the story happened was a world on the back of four elephants perched on the shell of a giant turtle. That's the advantage of space. It's big enough to hold practically anything, and so, eventually, it does."

Holy Heck! I really enjoyed this book! :-) The illustrator matched the pictures in my head! And the illustrations were as irreverent as the author & matched his tone. Lots of love & care went into this book--a massive trim size, printed 4 color on heavy paper, & a paper cover with flaps. I 💜 when publishers take care with the details to produce such quality! Who doesn't love a massive spread illustration of swamp dragons! 😄👍🐉 #OokBOokClub
I think this might actually be my favourite Pratchett book. I‘m a huge Da Vinci groupie, so Leonard, his drawings and his backward writing were awesome. The illustrations were perfect. Ook was fun to have along for the ride.

That is quite the request, Ook.

As a Leonardo da Vinci groupie, I LOOOOOOVED this little tid bit.

It‘s all a matter of perspective, I suppose.

@GingerAntics LOook! It just arrived. Much better than the eBOok version. 😁
I wish it were a full novel! This want is almost wholly from the character hangouts that we see some of (Ponder learning from Vetinari! Rincewind and Carrot coming to understand one another!) but I'm glad for what we got. Classic Pratchett, in that it's Apollo 13 and a throwback to the first couple Discworld books and dragons are from the moon and I also cried at “No one remembers the singer. The song remains.“

More great sketches.

I‘m loving the Da Vinci Notebook style sketches.

I love this flight portrait. 💙💙💙

“I have devised this device of three rings that rotate continuously in three planes, giving the voyager the feeling of being rotated continuously in three planes.” ... “I deduce that being tumbled in three directions at once has a deleterious effect and I will arrange for this not to happen on the voyage. The musculature of the wizard Rincewind would make an interesting study if, in deed, he had any.”
Leonard of Quirm
More great dragon drawings.

Nothing like exploring Schrödinger‘s cat explored by Death himself.

And of course you can‘t have Death without the Death of Rats. 💀💀💀🐀🐀🐀

I LOVE this portrait of Death! 💀💀💀 He‘s everything I imagined him being.

Love these notebook details about dragons.

A shoe full of wee. I‘m trying to figure out how the wee got in the shoe, bypassing everything else and completely missing the other shoe.

But if someone got there before you, it‘s not very lost, is it?

I‘m really loving Leonard.

When Conan the Barbarian decides it‘s time to go out with a bang, he doesn‘t go for half measures. What follows is a delightful mashup of mythology, Leonard‘s inventions, Carrot, Rincewind, the Librarian, epic saga‘s, and even some dragons all mixed up as only Pratchett could deliver.
DISCWORLD LEONARDO DA VINCI!!! 💙💙💙

The First Hero stole fire from the gods. Now the Last Hero and his Silver Horde want to undo that theft, even if it means the end of the world.
As enjoyable as ever. Not perhaps as satyrical of our world as some but plenty of parodies and references to enjoy. The illustrations really fit and add to the text.
You don‘t want EVERYone to know the world is ending. That would cause panic. Just tell the important people.

I love this wonderful portrait of the librarian.

I can‘t wait to hear more about this cucumber.

I am SO excited to get to start this. I couldn‘t wait to start it as soon as it arrived and I realised that it was illustrated. It‘s taken all of my will power not to start it since I finished Thief of Time. IT‘S FINALLY THE 8TH!!! HAPPY 8 FEBRUARY EVERYONE!!!
#TerryPratchett #TheLastHero #OokBOokClub #Discworld #SirTerryPratchett @julesG

I absolutely love the illustrations in this book.
#ookbookclub
Just got this in plenty of time for February. I had no idea it was illustrated. It‘s gorgeous on the inside. I can‘t wait to read this in just a few weeks.

#OokBOokClub

This was apparently first published as an illustrated book and it has to be said that on its own this is a fairly mediocre book by STP's own high standards. We're back with Rincewind and Cohen the Barbarian on some sort of quest to return fire to the gods and while it's redeemed somewhat by the presence of Vetinari and Carrot it failed to raise more than the occasional smile.
