How did I not know about this until today?!? 🤯 OMG!

It‘s a kickstarter by The Terry Pratchett Estate & Neil Gaiman. It ends on 31 August. I‘m so glad I learned about it before the end of the month.

GingerAntics Why is this a kickstarter?! Who is not behind this?! 7mo
GingerAntics Let me just double check all of my bills have been paid… 7mo
wanderinglynn @GingerAntics Pratchett‘s estate is behind it. And they probably did it this way to maintain complete control over the work instead of having to give up some control (& lots of money) to a publishing house. 7mo
BookmarkTavern 🤩🤩🤩 Wow! And payday was last week! (edited) 7mo
wanderinglynn @ozma.of.oz 🙌🏻 7mo
GingerAntics @wanderinglynn that‘s what it said on the kickstarter page. It‘s letting Terry‘s estate and Neil have full control over it and they get to choose the artists and everything. 7mo
GingerAntics @ozma.of.oz same. I don‘t get paid again until the first. I‘m going to cross my fingers and hope that I get paid on Thursday like I sometimes do. 7mo
GingerAntics I‘m not really excited about the idea that you can‘t get the book after next Thursday. 7mo
julesG @ozma.of.oz @GingerAntics Payment is in September. This way you can add on to your pledge. 7mo
GingerAntics @julesG when I pledged, it said it would take the money on the 31st, so I‘m not sure. Either way, hopefully they can wait a day for payment if I don‘t get paid until the first. Shipping doesn‘t get paid until next July. 7mo
julesG @GingerAntics Sorry. Thought it said September 1st somewhere. Fingers crossed you're not going into overdraft. 7mo

GingerAntics @Tamra so glad to hear it‘s very bookish this season. I think my biggest worry has been that Terry isn‘t here to lend his half of the dynamic duo. I always thought of Az as being something of Terry and Crowley as something of Neil. What would Crowley be without Az? 8mo

annamatopoetry The article is paywalled, but my two cents as a two decades fan of his work: how you'll like it depends on your preferences. If you're not a sff fan, The Ocean. 10mo
annamatopoetry (continued)... is a great place to start, I didn't like it, it felt predictable after having read his other works. I LOVE American Gods, but it's a weird mix of noir and fantasy, Anansi Boys is his most humorous, BUT I would start with the short stories. M is for Magic and Fragile Things are both excellent. 10mo
SamAnne @annamatopoetry Yes, I‘ve been thinking that American Gods is the place to start for me! Thanks for the recommendations. (edited) 10mo

This book was so good! It was by far the funniest book I‘ve read all year. I loved all the stories about the Horsemen featuring what they‘d been doing while waiting for Armageddon. I‘ve never read a book that gave even the tiniest of background characters backstories. 5🌟

This is just not my type of book. It reminded me a lot of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. I am not a fan of dry humor. This book would be great for someone who enjoys that type of book, it is just not me. There are many rave reviews and great comments. If you are a fan of Hitchhiker's Guide or Dogma, you will likely love this one as well.

Day 12 of #scarathlondailyprompts is grave. Early in the story, one of the MCs meets up with two others at a grave to exchange a valuable item.

It was very clever about the end of the world and the Antichrist being misplaced, etc., but I had a hard time getting into it. I think I would have liked it better 20 years ago or so, when I was more in a mood for it. I'm not quite as much into fantasy / humor now. Series on TV may be good though. I still recommend it for those who like early Neil Gaiman and basic Pratchett.

KathyWheeler The tv series was great. 2y

A real change-up compared to what I‘ve been reading, this book is just… fun. Shockingly anticlimactic for a book about the apocalypse, but in a doesn‘t-take-itself-too-seriously kind of way. A nice blend of biblical doom and comedic absurdity. Takes a bit of prior knowledge about England and the Bible, but its generally accessible I think, (and the footnotes certainly helped lol!)

I‘m giving this read a 3.9⭐️ but in truth as being very generous. I love Neil Gaiman… He is creative, dark, funny and very imaginative. All of these qualities were present in this book, so in that regard it wasn‘t lacking. However, there were so many times that I actually found myself bored can dreading having to go on. Overall the book wasn‘t bad but it wasn‘t great and it kind of left me disappointed. This was also my second #roll100

I love recommending books and try to match a person's personality, but these are some that get brought up again and again, in no particular order:

📚 Good Omens
📚 Neverwhere
📚 Recursion
📚 Lamb
📚 Skyward
📚 The Way of Kings
📚 Flowers for Algernon
📚 The Princess Bride
📚 The Little Prince

Honorable mention: Under the Whispering Door -- recent read, so hasn't been recommended much, but it will be.

Elizabeth2 Good Omens was an excellent book and I almost added it to my list. 😄 I am looking forward to reading Under the Whispering Door because I loved Cerulean Sea so much, which made my list in the same way - recent read but I will be recommending often! 2y
