Welcome to Litsy!

When your semi reformed conman starts to get bored, it‘s time to shake up his enrichment program. Vetinari‘s choice? Put Moist in charge of the bank & the royal mint.

The Moist books never fail to make me smile. A fascinating examination of how humanity assigns value, a scathing indictment of old money & “that‘s how it‘s done.” I do feel I was more aware & critical of the language used to describe the Lavishes. 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

This is my #Roll100 stack for March. All library books which is thwarting my efforts to read what I already own in 2025. 😬

However, the Pratchett works for #SeriesLove2025 and will be an easy read anyway. I think Mr. Lover man will also be achievable if Girl, Woman, Other was any indication. Let‘s see about the other two. 🤞

Love Sam Vimes 😆 I wish someone would adapt City Watch into a TV series. This got #doublespin done early in March, which is good cos my #bookspin choice is 1100 pages long 🤯

No errands for once this weekend! But still decided to go out for lunch, including trying the new “Lucky Leprechaun” latte.

Norovirus is rife in our part of the UK and I feel rubbish today with nausea 😬

So will be reading this and looking at my smallest cat who has stolen the large dog bed.

Catching 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.

Looks like Amazon in the US is having a sale on all of Terry Pratchett. Might be time to pick up a book if you need it. @julesG

Better every time. I love rereading Discworld books, I just feel I grow to appreciate the story and the writing and the world that much more each time. It's part of the City Watch collection, featuring Sam Vimes and a the usual suspects and so it's a favourite, but it's also spectacular as a work on its own. The gender politics, and the regular politics, the contrast of civilization and savagery, 1/?
