pickAnother Terry Pratchett, another absolutely brilliant story of growing up, taking responsibility, and choosing to live on your own terms. Funny, and sharp, and sad. I will be thinking of it for a long while, as it always is with Pratchett‘s books.

I am going to be completely predictable and nominate Wintersmith 😁❄

I'm still testing positive after a week. I'm so annoyed!
Rereading the Tiffany Aching books is helping. And the jumper pattern name suits the snow outside and the book title. It's called: Blizzard ❄️
Wintersmith marks the 500th book read this year! Didn't start posting here til later in the year, but Storygraph has been keeping track. This total is the cumulative result of picture books, comic books, graphic novels, poetry, novellas and novels, and having reached around 250 mid-year, I'm a bit surprised it took less than another six months to double it! Guess we'll see what I manage for the rest of November and December! 🪅🎊🎉🎇🎆
pickReally enjoying the developing adventures of Tiffany Aching, with a side order of the Nac Mac Feegles. Horace the cheese was a delightful addition! I really appreciate the way the ill-conceived courtship was handled here: giving a young person a chance to speculate on romance while always aware of the mistake made, the elemental force led astray from its true purpose, not tragic, just an experience to learn from. Aching's got Weatherwax's number!
pickAlways love Pratchett‘s witches! 🧙♀️🖤
I enjoyed this introduction to Tiffany Aching (who would have thought so much trouble could arise from one dance?!) Though I did feel a bit icky that she was 13 😬
pickThis book was quite an adventure. The Nac Mac Feegles really stole the show in this one. I really love those little guys. I‘m so excited for the next book. I‘m glad I‘m all caught up for OokBOokClub.

They‘ve got Tiffany there. Technically, they did not break in. They just walked in. It was practically an open door. They were pretty much invited in.

Sooooo, I should have read this back around the start of the year, but of course that‘s when all the madness I just got out of started. I‘m finally starting it now, though, so I can join in on the next #OokBOokClub of the Tiffany Aching books after this one “I Shall Wear Midnight.” I‘m so excited to return to the world of Tiffany Aching!!! Thanks @julesG #TerryPratchett #Wintersmith #Discworld #SirTerryPratchett
pickWhile this probably my least favorite of the Tiffany books so far, I still enjoyed this book. Gotta say, the Miss Treason stuff was my favorite and hit me the hardest, with Tiffany getting to hang out with Nanny Ogg a close second.
#OokBOokClub
pickI‘m a bit behind the #OokBOokClub or #PratchettPosse here, but I have to say I loved this one as re-read this month just as much as I did when I originally read it. And couldn‘t have been more perfect for this time of year. A great Tiffany story with the witches, Feegles, Horace, and of course a strong dose of Winter. ❄️
Hoping to turn this one around fast so I can be caught up on #OokBOokClub !

pickTiffany‘s studies as a witch are interrupted when she accidentally draws the Wintersmith‘s gaze. And she has to fix things before the Disc is covered in an endless ice.
A thing I love about these books is that she has a multi generational support system. Lots of MG/YA books have adults that are evil, absent, or incompetent. Tiffany has so many people that she can turn to when she needs help & she does & they help as they are able to. 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
#OokBOokClub-ers, our Discworld adventure continues TODAY with #Wintersmith!
Looking forward to our discussion next month!
Happy reading!

Spent a cozy evening at home tonight reading about Tiffany Aching‘s adventures. What a treat to light my new beeswax candle for the first time this season. It‘s been getting darker here and I‘m glad I splurged and got some new candles. ☺️
“It was lonely on the hill, and cold. And all you could do was keep going. You could scream, cry, and stamp your feet, but apart from making you feel warmer, it wouldn‘t do any good. You could say it was unfair, and that was true, but the universe didn‘t care because it didn‘t know what “fair” meant. That was the big problem about being a #witch. It was up to you. It was always up to you.” #screech #QuotsyOct21
OK, this is a small thing that got into my head & now I can't get rid of the thought. Perhaps a fellow Litten can ease my mind. 😊 I am totally weirded out by the hyphen in the center Wintersmith cover. It's absolutely correct, but it looks totally weird on a cover to me. I'm wondering what made the publisher decide to put a hyphen in the title?! See the other Wintersmith covers for reference. ⬇
#OokBOokClub
Just a friendly reminder that next month we'll be reading #Wintersmith! Dig out your books, put in your library holds, or place your orders! The next Discworld adventure continues on November 8th! Woohoo!
If anyone wants to be tagged/untagged for future posts please let me know! Happy to oblige!

pickAnother super fun Discworld/Tiffany Aching book! My main listening time for these books is before I go to sleep. So many times I‘ll be laying in the dark grinning like an idiot because of the antics of the wee free men 😆😁. I also think Tiffany is a great heroine. I‘ve already started the 4th TA book. 4⭐️
Question for all you #Discworld lovers out there — which books should I read after I finish the last 2 TA books? The witches? 🤔
#audiobook
Happy birthday to my favourite author of all times. It would habe been your 73rd birthday.
No one else wrote universal truths like you. 🥺
#gnuterrypratchett #speakhisname
pickWhat a perfect, joyous conclusion to the madness that was 2020. A humorous, fey variation of Hades & Persephone. A fun, easy read!

pickI love this series, and Stephen Briggs is a brilliant performer. But who the hell added the cheesy twinkle music to this one?! It was awful. It came in at weird times and some of it was over the performance. Ugh.
Other than that, it‘s another Tiffany Aching story that does my soul good. I sure miss having Terry Pratchett in this world.
#funfriYay @HappilyEverKrafter
I would love to have dinner with Terry Pratchett, Octavia Butler, Katherine Mansfield, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie! I'm holding a sketch of Adichie that my super talented best friend did for me!
pickA wonderfully fitting book for November with winter about to begin ❤️❄️📚
pickBook 82 of the year, finished Oct 2, audio
I wonder if Sir Terry wrote that before or after he was diagnosed with Alzhiemers.
It's hard to tell. Wintersmith was published in Sept 2006 and he publicly announced his diagnosis in Dec 2007.
Either way. Freaking foreshadowing gut punch.
I forgot to post my reading stats for May! It was a pretty good month. Thanks to a few short e-books, my total books read was a bit higher than in previous months. My favourites were the Tiffany Aching books. I‘m just kicking myself for not ordering the next book! And I‘m proud to say after six long months I FINALLY finished David Balfour! #MayStats
Minerva isn‘t happy that I‘ve decided to read instead of taking her outside. #CatwithBook #CatsofLitsy #SundayReading
#Booked2019 Finished the Winter section with over a month to spare. Go me! I think it‘s because I‘ve actually written them all out in a journal instead of just printing off separate pages & then losing them. I‘m already planning for Spring, though the Cli-Fi is giving me pause🤔 How are you guys doing with your challenges? Are you doing just the one or multiple? Do you journal or spreadsheet? Enquiring minds are dying to know🧠
so-soBook 9 of the year finished Jan 25. Audio.
This one was ok. Not my favorite of Pratchett's to be certain, but that may be because I loved Hat Full of Sky so much.
Tiffany made a spur of the moment choice that had a string of complicated and dangerous consequences and she had to work her way out of the situation.
pickTiffany does something impulsive and must deal with the consequences. But how can she stop the Wintersmith when she doesn't know how to take on the role of Summer? Another great one from Pratchett.
#BookishBingo category: Snow on the cover
I like a lot of the characters in Discworld, but the witches are definitely my favorite 😆
A day late again for #winterwonderland but The Wintersmith makes an appearance as a man made of snow.... So many snowman decorations picked up by my youngest boy... They are all over the house #frostythesnowman ⛄❄️⛄
@TrishB @Cinfhen
weather, just part of everything.
But humans arose and gave them names, just as people filled the starry sky with heroes and monsters, because this turned them into stories.
And humans loved stories, because once you'd turned things into stories, you could change the stories.
you could certainly end up thinking that the world would be considerably improved if you gave them a slap. But you didn't
