pickCatching up on belated reviews… I read this back in December for the #OokBOokClub. I loved Pratchett‘s take on journalism, as William deWorde accidentally invents the first newspaper in Ankh-Morpork. The story brings up questions of what the truth is, how it‘s told, how that telling shapes people‘s perceptions, who tries to suppress that telling & why… there‘s so much here that‘s still alarmingly relevant. And I loved Otto!
While I was searching for Discworld themed knit or crochet projects I came across a cute Great A‘tuin amigurumi pattern. I don‘t know anything about amigurumi yet. I have a beginner project sitting in the frog pond waiting for me to attempt again. So this link https://www.planetjune.com/blog/about/amigurumi-discworld/ is beyond my understanding and looks suitable for someone with better creative skills.

pickAs always, knowing there's a finite amount of this author's writing in the world makes me a little sad everytime I encounter work I haven't read. Despite that, this collection is very good at giving me the giggles, and, as with the Discworld series, the writing gets better as you go along. Stories are presented chronologically for the most part, with a split between: 1/?

Ow, ow, ow, ow,ow. I don't think Barbarians wax....😬
Oh, Terry, of course you did. 🥹
