A few of the Discworld short stories I had read before elsewhere, but the Granny one was still my favorite….the other ones were a bit hit and miss for me personally.

An interesting read because Sir Terry certainly reused ideas - a lot of the non Discworld stuff eventually found its way there. Still, enjoyable! Fav non Discworld story is the Christmas horror one.

Gotta say, the note in front of Theater of Cruelty is right: it IS a lot easier to understand I you know about Punch and Judy (knowledge I lacked when I first read this as a child).

Also, very funny that it took books and books for Vimes to see Death (and then he doubts the reality of the moment), but Carrot is out here interviewing him ASAP.

Taking small breaks in my spooky season reading to try and catch up with the #OokBOokClub and the thing that caught me this morning: he made up an episode of Star Trek???

Over 40 years of writing, & this collection gathers together pieces from all across Sir Terry Pratchett‘s writing career.

It‘s amazing being able to watch his skill change over time. The intros he wrote for each were a fascinating glimpse into his thoughts. And I loved, LOVED all the Discworld stories especially “The Sea”. But I felt disappointed too. We see a bit of what The Long Earth would have been with just him. I want THAT book. 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

#OokBOokClub-ers, our Discworld adventure continues TODAY with #ABlinkOfTheScreen!

Looking forward to our discussion next month!

Terry Pratchett's shorter fiction, including juvenilia from college magazines and also some Discworld stories.

Did a quick read of Troll Bridge today because I have fallen desperately in love with the podcast Pratchat and I don't want to wait around too long to listen to the eps. Verdict: surprisingly sad!

I can‘t even keep my eyes open enough to read so bedtime it is! Good night, Littens 😴 #catwithbook #readingbuddy #catsoflitsy

Guess how this equation turns out: Me + Free Time + Gift Card + Nearby Bookstore = ? I had an hour to kill before picking up hubby from work & the $50 #Indigo gift card I won last Nov. just begging to be used... I got 2 books (both #tbr), a mug that fits me to a “tea” & a zip up journal sleeve with removable notebook. There's room to squeeze them onto my shelves but 😱 Why is not buying books so damn HARD?! #NoWillpower #BanShman 🤷‍♀️#WorthIt

#makemereadit TheReadingMermaid

Help me choose my next book from this pile of interesting tomes! There are a few that have been in the stack for a while, others not so much!

My TBR. Where to start....?

Fun. Short stories. Just the right amount of entertainment for a lunch hour or bus ride to work.

[S]cience fiction fans might break out in pointy ears from time to time, but they bought books by the shovelful and read them round the clock.

Lately short stories have been my salve to keep the world at bay. Found this on sale. #resistancewasfutile

Have I mentioned how much I like our library?

not the complete list of reads for December, but a little stack of the ones I have on hand. I love the freedom to read while traveling with my Nook, but it's exciting to be able to read some physical books again :)

(and thanks for the majority of these @courtneybee !)
