pickI love these Tiffany Aching books. This is the 5th and final book. The last book he ever wrote, actually. In this they do battle with the elves. I love the wee free men also.

pickIt's a strange book, it's a lovely skeleton with some parts fleshed out in a way that tricks you into thinking you'll get to read new Discworld books forever. I think it's a fitting end, even if it's not a goodbye.

pickThe elves are going to invade. And Tiffany needs to learn that she doesn‘t need to be everything for everyone.
What a beautiful ending to the world of the Disc. We got to see Tiffany grow and come into her own with such strength of character. Pratchett‘s soul & wit are still here, even as it was his last. & so many cameos from beloved past characters! This was everything I could have wanted for the end. 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌗
pickThe last #Discworld adventure. I'm a bit sentimental (yes, I started crying with the dedication). I know I can, and will, reread the stories. They've basically accompanied me for the past thirty years. Still, I will not be able to read a new-to-me Discworld story from now on.
A good ending to the Tiffany Aching series.

I knew about the death in this book (it was inadvertently spoiled for me years ago) but I didn't know how -early- it would be. Seeing the world think and mourn is hitting me hard.
#OokBOokClub
Well, I guess the time has come.
This already feels unfinished/unpolished, but unlike Raising Steam (which pushed me away), this one more feels like a fable so far - I think this will work, for a witch story especially.

pick2022 Discworld Series Reading Challenge complete. ?? 1 year, 41 books. Irony of ironies, how I now wish there was more from this universe to read. I don't quite feel comfortable critiquing any aspect of this final story, as the afterword (which of course made me sob) explains, it was "not quite as finished as [Terry Pratchett] would have liked when he died." I love that this was basically 'the gang's all here!' of Discworld witches. 1/?
GNC dressing AND a Monty Python reference? Be still my heart.
Geoffrey the agender, vegan witch!
I'm gonna cry. 🥹
“She knew how the memory plays tricks, and the old stories had power, and everyone forgot how 'terrific' really meant 'brings #terror'. Her people would only remember that the elves sang beautifully. They would have forgotten what their song was about.” #QuotsyOct21
pickA very fitting end to the Discworld series but I do NOT recommend reading Chapter 2 in public or anywhere there are not plenty of tissues available
Chapter 2 😭😭😭
It was born in the darkness of the Circle Sea; at first just a soft floating thing, washed back and forth by tide after tide.
so-soBook 24 of the year
Im completely trusting my cross reference between my Audible "finished" list with what I've logged here. I don't know that I quite remember reading all of these? But its also been an unusually stressful year so I'm just trusting that my tech is accurate.
As for this book. It was a kick in the feels the first time and I have no reason to think it was different the 2nd time. Maintaining my previous rating for now.
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. 🥺

pickI‘ve put off reading this last Discworld book because I knew I wasn‘t ready to say “good bye” to Terry Pratchett. But I took a deep breathe and dove in. This was an excellent finish to his series. Five stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Another grand universe that has been important to me since I was a child, but the difference between The Shepherd's Crown and All Good Things is that I haven't been brave enough to say goodbye to the Disc yet...
I adore All Good Things! A truly wonderful finale that brings me to the edge of tears when I do so much as think about that last scene. I love TNG, flaws and all, and this is a great endpoint for that crew.
#startreksummermay
pickThe last Discworld novel. Pratchett tried to wrap up as much as he could before he passed away, and he did a pretty decent job. I was really bummed when I heard that he died but I really enjoyed this last book. Not everything is answered, but he left the characters in a good place.
#Pop19: Book published posthumously
pick“Did you use magic to write the books, Sir Terry?”
“I didn‘t have to. The magic was already here.”
The End.😭
It took me a while to work up to reading this & I‘ve put off reviewing it as well. It‘s the last Tiffany Aching book & Sir Terry‘s last novel—and I didn‘t want it to be over. But I finished it, and I loved it. It was a fitting conclusion for the series, and it both choked me up & cracked me up, as only Sir Terry can do. All the stars.🌟💔
“All show, my lord. Doesn‘t get her hands dirty. Lot of jewelry, black lace, you know the type. Well-connected, but that‘s about all I can say.”
“Ah, yes, now you tell me, I‘ve seen her—pushy and full of herself. She‘s the kind who goes to soirées.”
“So do you, my lord.”
“Yes, but I am the tyrant, so it‘s the job I have to do, alas.”
“Well,” said Tiffany. “Could you do me a favor?”
“Och, aye,” said Rob. “Would you like yon Earwig wifey dropped in a pond or something?”
Tiffany sighed. “Alas, no, I‘m not that kind of person.”
“Ah, but we is,” said Rob Anybody cheerfully. “Anyway, it‘s traditional, ye ken, and we are good at tradition, being as we are part of Folklore.” He smiled hopefully.
“A very nice thought,” said Tiffany, “but no, once again, no.”
pickI didn‘t want to read this book for a long time because it‘s the last. It brought me to tears very early on. This book was really good and it felt like a closed circle on the series.
Currently reading it. It took me a long time to start it because once it's done, there are no more books of his. I'm 18% into the book and I'm fending off tears while I'm at work.
so-soBook 13 of the year finished Feb 8, Audio.
Oof, as Pratchett's final novel, this was a hard read. A lot of old friends showed up to say hello, or good bye in some cases. As with I Shall Wear Midnight, there are a lot of deep topics talked about and I'm giving it a so-so while I ponder them. I will probably adjust it to a pick at some point in the future, but not yet.
Lordy. I'd heard this was a hard read, but dammit Pratchett, you hit me right in the feels in the 2nd chapter and made me cry.
#QuotsyOct18 Day 20: The #King gets saved by the queen, for sure. Not just in chess, usually, but in life. 🧚🏼♀️
pickI thought the parallels between Equal Rites and this, Sir Terry's last book, were fantastic. Bringing a girl into a school of wizards, training a "boy" as a witch... I also loved that when his gender was commented on, his response was that he wasn't a boy, not really, nor a girl. Later Discworld books have so much Quality #Queer Content. #GNUTerryPratchett
Totally burst into tears while reading this at the gym yesterday! It was so good! And so sad! And the last book Terry Pratchett ever wrote! 😢 I am thinking of going back and starting the Discworld series from the beginning. What do you guys think? Also, please tell me I'm not the only one to cry in a public place while reading! 🤣
I spent the day #audiogardening
The Columbine is the bees knees right now!
Also, I love how Stephen Briggs reads the Tiffany Aching stories. He‘s just perfect.
pickObviously well along but unfinished this is still a fitting end to the Discworld books.....I read my first one (Mort) in January 1994....still can't quite believe there will be no more. GNU P'terry 😥😥😥
