This was my third Discworld novel and it cemented my love for Pratchett. This one works well as a stand alone. In it, con man Moist von Lipwig is saved from hanging by Lord Ventenari and subjected to an even worse punishment: he is tasked with bringing the moribund Ankh-Morpork post office back to life. Throw in Golem‘s rights, a little romance, and a lot of humor and voila! Pratchett deftly skewers corporate greed and much more.

My last #LMPBC experience was a dud….but I‘m hopeful this round will be better! @persephone1408 and I need at least one more in a group to read YA fantasy! I have a lot of books on my TBR that fit the bill and I need an excuse to read them!
Finally finished all my #lmpbc books and they are back to their onwers! Just dropped them at the post office and should be there by Monday. @Christyco125 @smalldogs_bigbooks2419
My #hauntedhalloweenswap package is all wrapped and ready to go to the post office on Monday! @wanderinglynn
Thank you for spoiling me @Chrissyreadit !! I love it all!! And you crochet the mug thing?? It is so beautiful!! #cbbc
Just finished these two delightful novels for my#Round15 #GroupT and #GroupX #LMPBC selections. School just started for me, so I hope to have them in the mail by the weekend. Also will post my reviews this weekend. Enjoyed reading these while being off the grid up in Canada this summer. Now I‘m home (came back to CT Sunday night; school started Monday) and will be back to typical Litsy garrulous self!
I finally mailed off my last two books for #Round14 of #LMPBC I enjoyed both groups so much #GroupO and #GroupC Thanks to all for all of the great new book selections! I read books I might not have picked up independently and that‘s the best part!! Here‘s a photo of my daughter and I on July 4th. We are on vacation which has made it hard to read as much as I like. But if there‘s any reason not to read, family vacation time is it!! Happy summer!!
Hey group. Here are a few options from my shelves for this round of #lmpbc Any of these sound good? If not, no worries there are more where these came from.😬

Omg! Thank you so much @Chrissyreadit !! I can‘t wait to try the coffee and I love the book journal! Thank you for spoiling me!! #ccbc
Oh my @Chrissyreadit you sure did spoil me this month!! I love all of the summer deck picnic goodies and can‘t wait to use them!!
Thank you so much @Chrissyreadit for the extra goodies… I am so excited for some much needed self-care!!! 🤓
#cbbc
Thanks for the goodies @Chrissyreadit … I love them all! 🤓
#cbbc
Be in the lookout @Callemarie our #cbbc is on its way! Post office says it will be delivered on Friday! 🤓
My #cbbc package came today! Thank your mom @Chrissyreadit for the thoughtful goodies!! And I hope you are feeling better!!
I‘m still catching up with the #PractettPosse #OokBOokClub, for some reason I starting falling behind when I hit a bunch that were re-reads for me, but yet enjoyed them just as much as the first time I read them 🤷♀️ (problems only avid readers understand I suspect🤔🙃). Even on re-read though, I have to say these later books with Moist (same with Tiffany Aching) really hold up and I‘d recommend them still even to someone new to the Disc.
Round 14 of #LMPBC starts on March 1st!

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.

I 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!

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.
