Moving Pictures: (Discworld Novel 10) | Terry Pratchett

pick

Did I really never go back to review this #OokBOokClub pick from the beginning of November? Sigh. Pratchett‘s satire of Hollywood was fun, but fell a little short for me. I wanted a bit more all around—less of the jokey poking fun (lots of his stereotype-based humor fell flat for me) and more biting satire, more depth of character development, more exploration ofthe deeper themes that were only hinted at ⤵️

BarbaraJean (Cont‘d) …and more satisfying endings all around. I‘m glad there‘s more of Gaspode in future books! This was my pick for 1990 for the #192025 challenge. @Librarybelle (edited) 3d

willaful Yeah, not one of his top tier for me either. 3d

julesG @willaful an okay read, but not The book I'd recommend to someone starting their Discworld journey 3d

Reading Challenges Journal: Let's Do Some Reading Challenges! | J&c Publishing

Cannot BELIEVE I am working on a reading journal for ***2025*** That's not a real date!!!! @PuddleJumper is responsible for most of my challenges this year, although @lauredhel is also doing some work 😂 This year: #ISpyBingo #100YearsofBooks (and finishing @Librarybelle 's #192025 ), #Pantone2025 #Roll100 #GottaCatchEmAll and #BookChain

Not pictured - #ReadtheUSA #WickedWords @AsYouWish #FourFoursin25 @lauredhel #FictionalTraveler @julieclair ⬇

BookishMadHatter I've started on my 2025 book journal too, but I'm scaling it back a little this year. I find I have to use a bunder because if I run out of space and need to split a section in a bound journal my poor brain has a meltdown and I end up having to start all over. 2w

and the much-beloved #HashtagBrigade @BarkingMadRead despite dragging me through books I loved to hate to read 😂 2w

TheAromaofBooks @BookishMadHatter - I feel that!! For the last couple of years I've used a quad-lined composition book. Because it's sewn, I can add lots of washi tape and other pieces of paper taped in and it just gets fatter without falling apart 😂 All my ongoing, year-long challenges are in the front. Then I skip to the second half of the notebook and create my monthly #BookSpinBingo lists as I go along, plus any short-term readathons or challenges. 2w

Gissy Amazing🤩👌 Well I can say I also started to organize my reading goals…🤔I chose which journal and reading Planner I‘m going to use😜it is a start😂😂😂 1w

TheAromaofBooks @Gissy - It's all about finding a system that works for you!!! I loooooove tracking things 😂 So I use a spreadsheet plus my notebook!!! I also get these really inexpensive book logs from Amazon that I love because it means every book I read ends up with a reference number. I started using them several years ago and I'm almost done with my 14th volume!! https://www.amazon.com/dp/1695365623 1w

The Truth | Terry Pratchett

pick

Pratchett's satirical look at news, politics and “the truth“ seems frighteningly representative of today's world, despite the fact that it was written a quarter-century ago and involves some hilariously ridiculous situations.

The Truth | Terry Pratchett

“All in all, the effect was not of a poodle, but of malformed poodlosity. That is to say, everything about it suggested ‘poodle‘ except for the whole thing itself, which suggested walking away.”

The Truth | Terry Pratchett

pick

At the same time that William de Worde & his crew of dwarves invent the 1st newspaper on the Disc, Lord Vetinari gets imprisoned for attempted murder.

Every time I read this 1, it goes up on my list of faves. This satirical look at both newspapers, what the truth is, & who gets to tell it remains alarmingly relevant, & William‘s confrontation w/ his father was amazing. I would have loved more of the dwarves! & Otto!🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
