Welcome to Litsy!

When one‘s mostly reformed con artist needs a new challenge, it is remarkable timing that the invention of the steam engine & pushback from a violent minority all happen at the same time.

I think this one, more than any other so far, has made me mourn the stories we could have gotten. Pratchett‘s depiction of a small, angry, vocal group driven by fear to upend all they don‘t understand, it hits harder this time around. 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟This was my #DoubleSpin for March, and it's one of the best books I've read this year! I love the Discworld series, and Rincewind is one of my favorite characters. #OokBOokClub #2025OffMyShelf

That's the best I can do for this prompt, not exactly a barn, but in this book Death is forced into retirement and starts to live and work on a farm, which presumably would have a barn somewhere😂😁🤓

“‘I was right though, wasn‘t I,‘ said Granny. It wasn‘t a question.”

A thumbs up because I do love Pratchett and the Discworld, but this has to be my least favorite thus far. I did laugh and appreciated the message about the abuse of power (all too close to reality alas) but the story was a bit of an unwieldy mess. Also, The Luggage 🧳❤️! IYKYK

Third time. Better. Every. Time. As I believe I said last time, Snuff has an unfair lead because it's the first Vimes/Discworld/Pratchett I ever read, but Thud! and Snuff are in an eternal battle as to which is my favourite. Each time I read this book I feel more impressed by how well it is put together. I love that reading this book as a whole is as engaging an experience as the climax, especially for repeat reads, watching how things develop, 1/

Sybil has many fine qualities. 😏
Not letting Vimes get away with an uneditorialized statement/rant is among them. 😁
I love her. I love their dynamic. ♥️

#WhereAreYouMonday

This Monday I find myself back in the bizarrely comforting Discworld, upheld on the backs of four elephants riding on the back of a spacefaring turtle 🐢 . Specifically at Ahnk-Moorpork and the Unseen University. Only 50 pages in but loving being back “home”.

“I meant,” said Ipslore, bitterly, “what is there in this world that makes living worthwhile?”

Death thought about it.

CATS, he said eventually, CATS ARE NICE.
