They say that the prospect of being hanged in the morning concentrates a man's mind wonderfully; unfortunately, what the mind inevitably concentrates on is that, in the morning, it will be in a body that is going to be hanged.

pickI love when a guy develops a conscious, I love when a guy discovers what hope is, I love when a guy learns who he is and is surprised, I love when a guy comes to rely on and care for the weirdos around him, I love when a guy is consumed by and embraces the weirdness within himself. I love a guy.
Hope and angels and work and personhood, and fooling them all. Flying ever forward, filling with gold.

Thanks for the tag @TheSpineView !
1. Tagged! It‘s a good bet a Terry Pratchett will probably be my favorite read! 😂
2. #BookSpinBingo ! We‘ll see how that goes!
#Two4Tuesday @TheSpineView
The universe could not be sending a clearer message! Moist already thinks the letters talking to him is a madness he's catching, but guess what? It helps!
(Should have known I'd be insufferable about this book too.)
#OokBOokClub
I have to say, after the last 2 main line books, which seemed to argue that change is not possible, it's a real relief to get to hang with Moist, who absolutely DOES NOT believe in incrementalism.
#OokBOokClub
One of my fondest hopes is to one day own (and rock) Moist's Postmaster outfit.
#OokBOokClub
So this is my second read of this book this year and something just jumped out at me: in quick succession Moist thinks of golem as tools, not people, then decides he's going to buy his freedom like a golem. All the other identities were the tools, and Moist isn't quite thinking of himself as a person yet. I LOVE how much of this book is about becoming a person and being surprised at the kind of person you really are.

pickWhat to do when your postal service is incompetent or cursed? Put a recently condemned con man in charge, of course.
My first, & favorite, Discworld. It‘s still hysterical to listen to this while working for the USPS. On one hand, the mishaps & the bungling, is upsetting. On the other, being reminded of how communication & connection is important is hopeful. And Moist‘s I-don‘t-want-to-develop-a-conscience-but-I-guess-I-will is great! 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌗
I Love Moist Von Lipwig
#OokBOokClub
pickThis is one of my favorites in the Discworld series. How can you go wrong when the main character is named Moist von Lipwig? I think the bit that had me laughing the hardest was the invention of stamp collecting. Pratchett can show the absurdity of life in ways no other author I‘ve read does.
I can‘t believe I‘ve only got 5 books left in my Discworld read/reread through.
This I am sure it is my #fallingforfallswap package!! It arrived safe and sound @AmyG … can‘t wait to open it! 🤓
So my package from @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks was not for the fall swap but instead from winning the July photo challenge… whoopsie! Thank you so much @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks and @Eggs for my goodies… I love it all and the wrapping paper was so pretty h had to save some!! 💖🤓💖
This came today!! Can‘t wait wait for #fallingforfallswap
Update… just kidding… I forgot I won July‘s photo challenge! 🤦🏻♀️
@Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Avanders

#ConflictedWorlds Day 1 Person Vs #The Boss
@Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks
In Moist's world conflict with the boss leads to his "unlife".
Since so many of us love the post office I thought I'd share this bad news. 😩 I'm over it. Why is that idiot still in charge? It's clearly more sabotage.

Sorry for the delay @shellleigh33 @ads0123
Your #lmpbc books will be in the mail tomorrow!
Since @Ruthiella and I were chatting a bit about Discworld , I thought I‘d post these 2 beauties I found at a Library sale pre-pandemic.
Thank for all of the extra goodies @BethM !! I can‘t wait to try the coffee and the socks are adorable!!
My books should be in the mail by tomorrow!

No doctor appointment means I finally got to the post office. I‘m sorry I‘m 19 days late for book 1, but I promise to send book 2 next week! @Soubhiville and @TheBookKeepers you should have the books by the end of the week.
@rachelm , @SamAnne : Any future delays are due to me mailing this out late. I don‘t have another surgery until June 1, so it should all flow smoothly from now on. #GroupL #GroupP #LMPBC
pickFinished up Get It Right for #lmpbc #groupl! I liked the social justice themes in this book and the romance between the two main characters. I was really rooting for their happy ending.
Thanks @Soubhiville for selecting!! Sending it to @Eventerj9 today 🎉 should be in your house in a few months @WanderingBookaneer
I didn‘t get a photo of the 📦 but these packages went out and will be to you Monday or Tuesday.
#cbbc #lmpbc
Just mailed out this month‘s #coffeebeanbookclub #cbbc package to @Pogue
I hope you like this month‘s coffee. It should get to you on Monday.
@Mommamanzi
Thank you so much @CBee !! I am so excited to read the books and the chocolates are my absolute favorite!!! Happy valentines! #bookcupidswap @candority
pickThe thing is... the thing is I adore Moist Von Lipwig.
Pretty sure I'll be rereading this one for #OokBOokClub later this year and I couldn't be happier about it!
A thought I have had, one very much colored by personal bias: Moist and Rincewind are two sides of the same coin, one side a success, the other failure. I love them both.
It's possible I'm misremembering my previous reads, but Moist is hitting slightly different now that we're the same age (or I'm possibly older). It hasn't changed how I feel about him, but the trapped feelings he has resonate with me.
Thank you so much for the gifts @Aims42 !! I love Reese‘s and I have been wanting to reading this book for awhile!!! Happy little Christmas everyone!!! #lcs #littlechristmasswap
