From today's Discworld Emporium's Newsletter:
THE SHEPHERD'S CROWN TURNED 10!
The final Discworld book is now a decade old. All these years later, the understandable reluctance to read it can be felt as strongly now as it did that dreadful year when Terry died, and the Shepherd's Crown was published. For many fans it has remained an unread treasure in order to hold back the end and keep the turtle moving.⬇️

Where I read a Terry Pratchett book for the first time. I really enjoyed reading I Shall Wear Midnight.

Quoting the article: "Transworld and Puffin have signed deals for three graphic-novel adaptations of Terry Pratchett‘s Discworld series, marking the start of the "Discworld Graphic Novel Universe".
Puffin acquired world rights to The Wee Free Men, to be adapted by Pratchett‘s daughter Rhianna Pratchett, with an illustrator still to be announced."

pickI love these Tiffany Aching books. This is the 5th and final book. The last book he ever wrote, actually. In this they do battle with the elves. I love the wee free men also.

pickThese are a cute subset of the witch storyline. Tiffany is a fierce YA protagonist.

pick#doublespin LOVED this! I think the Tiffany Aching books might be my new favourites in Discworld. Granny Weatherwax is an utter legend and the Nac Mac Feegle are blooming hilarious
So the greatest way to honour Terry‘s legacy is to pull that book you‘ve been saving off the shelf, make a nice cup of tea and settle down to read the story he wrote for you. Enjoy."
