BookmarkTavern A small group of individuals believing they‘ve been deprived of what‘s rightfully due them decide to put a puppet leader in charge to control, only to end up with a narcissistic, greedy, destructive force intent on sowing fear and chaos around him? Gee, I wonder how relevant that story could be? 😅😅 I can‘t believe this was written over thirty years ago. 7d

willaful @BookmarkTavern I know, Terry Pratchett wouldn't be surprised by anything.

I think I enjoyed this more than I remember doing so when I first read it. It was fun to see the Watch becoming a real force for good. 7d

julesG @BookmarkTavern 🤣🤣🤣 he nailed it. 6d

julesG @willaful I agree, I enjoyed it a lot more this time. Maybe because I'm older/wiser and have seen a few things happening. 6d

BarbaraJean This is my first time reading the Watch novels! Having seen Vimes (and the Watch) now in other novels, I was surprised to find him in the gutter at the beginning here! It was so fascinating to see the origins of characters I‘d enjoyed later glimpses of elsewhere. @BookmarkTavern 😂😂😭 6d

AlaMich The audio version of this has been so delightful!! It‘s adding considerably to my enjoyment. 6d

julesG @AlaMich Which version did you listen to? Stephen Briggs, Tony Robinson, or Jon Culshaw with Peter Serafinowicz and Bill Nighy? 6d

AlaMich @julesG The last one. I didn‘t realize there were three audio versions. 6d

BookmarkTavern @BarbaraJean Vimes‘s character arc is one of my all time favorites. 6d

julesG @AlaMich that's the one I haven't listened to yet. Stephen Briggs' narration is the 'original' one. The one with Culshaw is relatively new. 6d

AlaMich @julesG He‘s so good! 6d

kwmg40 I'm rather late to the discussion, but I did enjoy my reread of this book. I loved Errol the dragon! 19h

julesG @kwmg40 You can join at any time. Errol, eater of kettles. 🤣 10h

Moving Pictures: (Discworld Novel 10) | Terry Pratchett

It turns out my spine is even worse off than I thought (I have severe stenosis in my neck that has caused spinal cord compression), and I'm feeling depressed and defeated, so I'm keeping June's #BookSpin list to mostly shorter, easy reads, with the exception of a couple that I've been really wanting to get to sooner rather than later.

Read4life I‘m sorry to hear this. Sending positive thoughts your way. 💙💙💙 2w

Fortifiedbybooks @Read4life thank you. I could use all the positive thoughts that are sent my way. I'm really struggling to come up with any of my own. Books are a good distraction, though! 2w

TheAromaofBooks Oh my goodness!! Hope books are able to give you some mental space!!! 2w

Terry Pratchett: a Life with Footnotes: The Official Biography | Rob Wilkins

Ayyy I made it! 😅 The last -ology I needed to read through would‘ve been decalogy. I planned on The Sandman GNs way back when I started this project, but sadly I‘ll be skipping those. So instead I‘m continuing on with the mega series of Discworld. I‘ll be marathoning my way through the Industrial Revolution collection that I‘ve gotten behind on with the #OokBookClub. Fingers crossed I‘ll get caught up to The City Watch novels.

Raising Steam | Terry Pratchett

pick

Another belated #OokBOokClub review…

I was excited to find Pratchett using chapters in the first two Moist Von Lipwig books, and sad he was back to no chapters here. My brain likes chapters. And while I do feel the earlier books are stronger, I did really enjoy this—chapters or no. It‘s dawning on me that I‘m a sucker for a train-ride setting!

Moist continues to discover new sides to himself here, and his interplay with Adora was fantastic, ⤵️

julesG

BarbaraJean (Cont‘d) …even if there wasn't a whole lot of it. I also liked seeing the introduction of Dick Simnel, sort of being mentored by Harry and Moist.

I‘ve really liked the Moist Von Lipwig books, and am sad there aren‘t a few more. I‘ve enjoyed seeing his character growth and the new ways his ingenuity plays out across these three books—plus the incisive social commentary Sir Terry weaves in along the way. 3w

julesG That wish for more books by Sir Terry will never leave me. 🦧 3w

BarbaraJean @julesG Seriously. My brain also starts on a bit of bargaining... wishing I could trade the Rincewind books for more Moist and Tiffany Aching (although the Tiffany Aching arc is just about perfect). 3w

Making Money | Terry Pratchett

pick

I need to start Guards! Guards! in the next few days, so I‘d better circle back and review a couple previous #OokBOokClub reads!

With the Post Office well in hand, Moist Von Lipwig now takes charge of the Royal Mint and the bank—naturally. New over-the-top characters are introduced here, but Pratchett manages to handle them deftly enough that it (mostly) felt like just the right amount of outlandish and ridiculous. I really enjoyed this ⤵️

julesG

BarbaraJean (Cont‘d) …but not as much as Going Postal. I felt like the social/governmental satire was stronger there, plus more Adora Belle! That said, there was still plenty of almost-too-relevant satire here. I‘ve been more and more intrigued by the slow reveal of Vetinari‘s character as I make my way through the Discworld, and this one was good for more of that—present-day parallels that edge right up against that boundary of too-close-for-comfort for me! 3w

julesG J'adore Adora Belle! 😉🦧 3w

BarbaraJean @julesG Yes!! 💜💜 3w

AlaMich I just started listening to
