The second in a series of Discworld novels starring the young witch Tiffany Aching.Something is coming after Tiffany. . . .Tiffany Aching is ready to begin her apprenticeship in magic. She expects spells and magicnot chores and ill-tempered nanny goats! Surely there must be more to witchcraft than this!What Tiffany doesn't know is that an insidious, disembodied creature is pursuing her. This time, neither Mistress Weatherwax (the greatest witch in the world) nor the fierce, six-inch-high Wee Free Men can protect her. In the end, it will take all of Tiffany's inner strength to save herself . . . if it can be done at all.

#doublespin LOVED this! I think the Tiffany Aching books might be my new favourites in Discworld. Granny Weatherwax is an utter legend and the Nac Mac Feegle are blooming hilarious

I love these. This is the 2nd Tiffany Aching. The narrator basically speaks in a Gaelic brogue when he does the wee free men and it is fire. Completely entertaining.

Tiffany Aching book 2, #Discworld book 32

Tiffany and Granny Weatherwax make a great team.

Also, so many great life lessons in this book.

Delightful 2nd book in the Tiffany Aching series. Tiffany becomes a witch‘s apprentice but is being stalked by a demon called a “hiver.” She‘ll need the help of the wee free men and her own inner strength to survive. As usual, Pratchett deals with matters of death and how to live with humor and beauty. https://cannonballread.com/2023/04/a-hat-full-of-sky-a-tiffany-aching-adventure-...

Back to a feel good book with A Hat full of Sky. I love the Tiffany Aching series.
I feel way better today, still tested positive today. At least I have time for reading and knitting during my self isolation. The colour work jumper is coming along nicely.

julesG Hope you feel better soon. The jumper is really coming along nicely. 2y

Have I mentioned how much I love this character? Two books down, three more to enjoy with Tiffany Aching, and only four total left unread in my 2022 'reading the entire Discworld series' (out of order based on library availability) journey! Also psyched to encounter the Wee Free Men and Granny Weatherwax again. Really digging Pratchett's earthy yet earth-shatteringly-powerful-when-required take on witches.

“But… I thought there were rules!” said Tiffany…
“Oh? Really?” said Granny. “Did you sign anything? Did you take any kind of oath? No? Then they weren‘t YOUR rules!”
✨ 5 stars — Better than the first book. I‘m obsessed with this series and Gran—err— Mistress Weatherwax. Absolute, incredible fun... #discworld

Tiffany: “Don‘t be silly! I can‘t! It can always keep out of my way! It can even sink into the ground! But it‘ll come looking for me, understand? ME, not anyone else! I KNOW it! And this time, I‘ll be ready!”

“The old woman snored again. Tiffany reached out, still staring at the owl, and shook her gently. When that didn‘t work, she shook her hardly. There was a sound like three pigs colliding and Mistress Weatherwax opened one eye and said, ‘Whoo?‘” 🐖

Second in the Tiffany Aching series sees Tiffany now an apprentice witch, coming under the benign if prickly care of Granny Weatherwax and attempting to free herself from being possessed by a malign spirit. Not, perhaps, as laugh out loud funny as the best of Discworld but an enjoyable read. And full of heart and benign wisdom.

It was fun visiting Tiffany and the Mac Feegle again. It‘s also cool seeing Tiffany a little older. The audiobooks of this series are wonderful as well. I‘m even more excited for the third one now. This is definitely my favourite series within Discworld.

julesG @DrexEdit Don't worry. I am buddyreading the Tiffany books with my daughter and hence haven't made much progress yet. My daughter is a very polygamous reader. 😜 3y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa I love the Tiffany books, and I can honestly say this one held up very well, even as a reread for me. I just love how she works her way through problems and comes up with her own solutions. 3y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @julesG Good for your daughter! That‘s a skill I didn‘t learn until much later in life. 3y
GingerAntics I‘m on my second trip through this audiobook. Tiffany becomes a greater and greater character with each of her books. I can‘t wait to read the rest of them. 3y
gossamerchild This one was SO FUN. Oddly, though, Granny Weatherfax seemed almost like a completely different person in this one. Or was that just me? Maybe it was because she's in teacher mode in this one? 3y
BookmarkTavern I‘ve been loving the Tiffany books, which I‘m reading for the first time now. And boy do I wish I had had them earlier. I had an Annagramma professor my first semester of college, and I almost dropped my major because of her. Tiffany‘s final confrontation with her was very cathartic. 3y
khooliha @gossamerchild She does seem different, but I agree, it's because of teacher mode, and I think also because Tiffany is both kind of like Granny while also being no danger to her as a witch. Granny is so prickly and I feel like Tiffany can get through that, pretty much through chance. Granny can be something with Tiffany (in non public places) that she can't even be with her oldest friend. 3y

Another fantastic book, this honestly strikes me as a bit of a relief in light of the previous 2 adult books (which I am not a huge fan of). I don't know if it's that the themes are simpler or just less “complicated“ (I vote the second), but they have a clarity that's been missing for a bit and it doesn't shy away from the work that is -hard-. Plus, I love Tiffany and Rob and I adore seeing Granny from this alternate angle.

This struck me when listening to the audio book a couple months ago, but the structure/pacing of this book is so interesting! I love that the first confrontation with the hiver (so like the confrontation with the Queen in the last book) comes at the 2/3rds mark - this is a book interested in -consequences-
PS I really love Rob Anybody and his sincere care for Tiffany

GingerAntics @JenlovesJT47 yes he does! That‘s what made me need them all. As for the next ones…I‘m not that familiar with Discworld, so I‘m not entirely sure. 3y

Between prepping for a vacation and then taking that vacation (where it was too damn hot to read outside and nowhere comfortable to read within) I didn't read much in July. Hoping to turn that around a bit in August, starting with a very quick turnaround reread of this for #OokBOokClub!

Tiffany leaves for more training as a witch. But when something comes after her, it‘s time for her to learn how little she knows and what power she already has.

This was amazing. As usual for Pratchett, but the Tiffany books hit differently. They speak to the small, scared girl that‘s still part of me. The one who feels not good enough or smart enough.

Tiffany messes up, but finds her own way to fix it and accepts help when offered. 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌗

alysonimagines The Tiffany books are my favorites of Terry Pratchett‘s. I think because like you said, they speak to the girl inside me who‘s not always sure of herself. And also the Nac Mac Feegle are quite possibly my most favorite faerie folk! 3y

I loved this, just as much the second time as I did the first…I think Tiffany and the Wee Free Men will always be favorites of mine. I love their craziness and her spunk and awareness, and her developing relationship with Granny Weatherwax. These always make me smile in both book & audiobook form.

It‘s hard to breathe in Oregon right now and I just needed an old favorite to listen to while we unpack from our move.
I‘m grateful we did not have to evacuate for the wildfires, and my friends who did are all back in their homes now. The rain can‘t come soon enough. My homemade air filter and humidifier are not cutting it today.
