julesG To anyone I did not tag today, I'll rectify that tomorrow. Promise. It's all in my Google files and I'll get to it after a good night's sleep. 5y

rockpools @julesG No probs! Sleep well 😴 5y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @julesG Good night! 5y

jmtrivera @julesG Sleep well! 5y

Deifio @julesG don't know if you saw this but @ljuliel asked if everyone could put up their readalongs under one hashtag to better find them. I think it was #readalong2020 5y

ljuliel Thanks @Deifio 😊. . I went ahead and added it to the list, but didn‘t add all the hashtags that are listed with this. I put the beginning ones and tagged both leaders in here. If anyone doesn‘t want theirs on that list, I‘ll gladly delete them. I think maybe they‘ll all get more participation if they‘re advertised in one spot . I‘ve seen lots of posts asking what readalongs are currently going on. 5y

julesG @ljuliel Just tag it under #OokBOokClub that should do @Deifio Thanks! 5y

julesG @Iblu @CoffeeCatsBooks 5y

ljuliel Got it Jules. Thanks 😊 5y

Deifio Glad to help ☺️ 5y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa I may be the only one who read this one this month, I know his non- Discworld novels are not as popular. But nevertheless, I still enjoyed it for the cleverly crafted silly YA (maybe even middle grade) story it was at its core....with some great wordplay and social commentary woven throughout for those old enough to catch and enjoy. 😉 5y

gossamerchild I'm still working my way through it. Tbh these aren't my favorites, so I'm finding it difficult to stay on track 🙄 5y

Iblu I agree we are spoiled with the Discworld universe of characters, yet this series has its moments. I‘m always struck by the references to J personal life thrown here and there and by the way they are described. Probably the YA could relate to that....would love to get my daughter to read the Johnny series at some point to see her reaction 5y

Gezemice @Riveted_Reader_Melissa I have read it, too! Albeit a bit late... reading slump here. I liked it a lot better than the first Johnny book. It seemed more Pratchett overall - more humor, more fantasy with the dead, and I enjoyed the silly dialogues of the kids. No Discworld for sure, but fun. 5y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Iblu Yes... it‘s Pratchett but for a YA audience. And I still enjoy it, it‘s just a bit simpler, but still great. 5y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Gezemice So glad you got around to it, late or not it was still enjoyable. Hope things are starting to calm down for you and your New Year brings lots of great reading. 5y

julesG @Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Iblu @Gezemice I'll probably read the trilogy with my kids, in German though. It'll make a good introduction to Pratchett. 5y

Still enjoying my read through Pratchett‘s worlds, even these YA independent books (outside of Discworld) are such cleverly crafted silly stories with a touch of great wordplay, some social commentary, and deeper meaning if you‘re paying attention.

vivastory I really do feel like world news has been pushed aside a little since Trump took office. He consumes the news cycle. 5y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @vivastory I agree, and sadly he‘s got so much going on, a story from yesterday disappears in the news coverage after 24 hrs because of something new...even when they are both about him. I miss having a fairly quiet functioning President who could go 24 hrs without stepping in/on something.🤪 5y

Laura317 @julesG Would you care to remove me from these posts now. I‘ve gotten too far behind. 5y
