This post contains spoilers

Remembering her and the one who imagined and created her. I was very upset when Terry passed away, I was even more upset when Granny Weatherwax died in The Shepard‘s Crown - as if he had known. 🥺

Maike Ummm... Spoiler? 😕 5y

MariaW Ummm, sorry. Well known fact, I assumed. 🙈 (edited) 5y

julesG Maybe put the spoiler tag on this? 5y

MariaW I put on a tag after Maike‘s comment. I don‘t understand why it‘s gone. I will redo it right now. 5y

MariaW @JulesG The spoiled tag has been on the whole time. I even undid it and redid and the post is still to be seen like it is. This is a Litsy problem. 5y

julesG I think we see it because we already clicked on the spoiler tag. 5y

MariaW @JuesG Might be. 5y

TK-421

Witches Abroad | Terry Pratchett, Terence David John Pratchett

“Granny disapproved of magic for domestic purposes, but she was annoyed. She also wanted her tea. She threw a couple of logs into the fireplace and glared at them until they burst into flame out of sheer embarrassment.”

“Excuse me," said Granny, empowering the words with much the same undertones as are carried by words like ‘Charge!‘ and ‘Kill!‘, "Excuse me, but does this pointy hat I‘m wearing mean anything to you?”

#Grouch #QuotsyFeb19

TK-421 So many choices! I thought of Marilla Cuthbert or neighbour to Green Gables, Mr. Harrison; I considered Eddings's Beldin or Donaldson's Thomas Covenant and several others but I finally decided #GrannyWeatherwax was my favourite grouch... and then, of course, couldn't choose just one quote! 6y

Hey #OokBOokClub! My apologies for totally dropping the ball on the discussion. @julesG set up a discussion thread, so I‘m going to highjack her comments on that thread and tag everyone. If you‘ve read the book, please see her post to discuss the book and accept my apologies for slacking this month. 🤦🏻‍♀️

@TricksyTails @DGRachel - you may cut my fingers off for jumping in.

Dear #OokBOokClub Members, let's discuss Wyrd Sisters.

Don't forget to mark spoilers and please tag each other when replying.

DGRachel Not at all! I completely forgot about it because I‘m not reading the books. Would you like to take over hostessing duties? 🤞🏻 6y

julesG @DGRachel Sure! Though I still hope @TricksyTails is back soon. 6y

SconsinBookyBadger Does anyone know the reason why TricksyTails been mia from litsy? (edited) 6y

julesG @AnansiGirl I don't know why she's been off Litsy. I could only speculate. @DGRachel do you know why? 6y

julesG No discussion? Well? I'm just going to say 'Esme Weatherwax', you just have to love her. 6y

gossamerchild The witches are definitely some of my favorites. This one is so fun! 6y

CSeydel Sadly I‘ve fallen behind ... still reading Equal Rites 😬 6y

julesG @DGRachel - I'm still willing to take over host duties. Shall we make it official and make an announcement through Litsyhappenings? 6y

julesG @CSeydel How do you like Er? 6y

julesG @gossamerchild the first scene is my favourite. I remember reciting it under my breath while my classmates read out the scene from Macbeth. 😁 6y

CSeydel I mean, the City Watch is still my favorite sequence. But this is my first read of the witches and I‘m enjoying it. I‘m struggling to get momentum, but that‘s external factors, not the books fault. Crazy time of yrar 6y

CSeydel (Who am I kidding, every time of year is crazy these days. I think it‘s a bad habit of biting off more than I can chew...) 6y

julesG @CSeydel Don't we all bite off more than we should? Looking forward to your thoughts on ER. 6y

Moray_Reads I love seeing the development of Granny Weatherwax from the not-quite-formed with in Equal Rites to the wonderful, formidable force she is in the later. One of my favourite things about the Witches sequence are TP's thoughts on stories, how they work, how we build the world around them and how they shape the world in turn 6y

julesG @Moray_Reads ❤️ 6y

DGRachel @julesG I will create a post tonight, after work, and tag Litsy Happenings. Thank you for doing this. I‘ll also email you the tags. Copy/paste is definitely going to be your friend for that! 6y

julesG @DGRachel 👍😘 6y

Laura317 I listened to this on Audible. I didn‘t care too much for this one as I thought I would. Might be that I didn‘t care for the narrator‘s voices for the witches. Anyway, I‘ve actually forgotten a lot of the story! I did like the ending. 6y

Soubhiville I love the witch books, and I have enjoyed seeing Granny and friends evolve as well. 6y

khooliha Love this book, love Granny Weatherwax. The coven's relationship is more fraught than I remembered? And I definitely attributed Magrat's super impressive door magic to the wrong witch. Sorry Magrat! It's a really cool bit of magic I have never forgotten! 6y

hgrimes I liked what I read but I‘ve been in such a reading slump that I never actually finished it. 😕Got about 3/4 of the way through, got too bogged down by work and decided to call it quits. But Granny rocks my world and I liked the Shakespeareaness. I hope I can return to it and finish the last leg before I forget where I left off. 6y

Moray_Reads @Laura317 I highly recommend Nigel Planer's narration, they're amazing. Salt he didn't finish the series and I don't care for those done by Stephen Briggs ☹️ 6y

Verity @Moray_Reads I‘m completely the opposite - I love the Briggs ones, but don‘t really like the Planer ones. I guess maybe because I heard Briggs ones before Planer? The transfer of the Planers on audible is terrible (or it was when I last listened too). 6y

julesG @Moray_Reads @Verity @Laura317 - I've listened to the audiobooks narrated by Celia Imrie, she does a really good job. 6y

Moray_Reads @Verity the sound quality is definitely quite poor on the earlier books. I listened to Planer first so maybe that explains it. I do find that Briggs settles into a certain cadence after a while, so that I can predict the intonation of his sentences and that drives me mad 😂 6y

Gezemice I have been also MIA and did not re-read this, but I have read this one twice as this is my favorite Discworld book and Granny Weatherwax is my favorite Discworld character. My favorite scene is tgem going to the theater. I also love Nanny Ogg and her hedgehog song... @khooliha @Soubhiville @julesG @Moray_Reads (edited) 6y

julesG @Gezemice It's my favourite DW novel, too. For the same reasons. 😁 6y

Gezemice @julesG Yay! Great to find another Granny fan 😊 6y

I am gearing up to watch the Back In Black Terry Pratchett documentary tonight. And because of all the emotions I'm sure that will bring me...I've decided to begin a re-read of #discworld. Time to spend some time with #grannyweatherwax
