#barn
That's the best I can do for this prompt, not exactly a barn, but in this book Death is forced into retirement and starts to live and work on a farm, which presumably would have a barn somewhere😂😁🤓

pickA thumbs up because I do love Pratchett and the Discworld, but this has to be my least favorite thus far. I did laugh and appreciated the message about the abuse of power (all too close to reality alas) but the story was a bit of an unwieldy mess. Also, The Luggage 🧳❤️! IYKYK

pickThird time. Better. Every. Time. As I believe I said last time, Snuff has an unfair lead because it's the first Vimes/Discworld/Pratchett I ever read, but Thud! and Snuff are in an eternal battle as to which is my favourite. Each time I read this book I feel more impressed by how well it is put together. I love that reading this book as a whole is as engaging an experience as the climax, especially for repeat reads, watching how things develop, 1/
Sybil has many fine qualities. 😏
Not letting Vimes get away with an uneditorialized statement/rant is among them. 😁
I love her. I love their dynamic. ♥️
#WhereAreYouMonday
This Monday I find myself back in the bizarrely comforting Discworld, upheld on the backs of four elephants riding on the back of a spacefaring turtle 🐢 . Specifically at Ahnk-Moorpork and the Unseen University. Only 50 pages in but loving being back “home”.

“I meant,” said Ipslore, bitterly, “what is there in this world that makes living worthwhile?”
Death thought about it.
CATS, he said eventually, CATS ARE NICE.

pickA much-belated review of the #OokBOokClub read from January (I‘m working through my backlog of completed-but-not-yet-reviewed books!)
I‘m torn over this. I loved its examination of political/religious propaganda (especially in wartime/in service of conflict), and I loved the way it pokes fun at and takes down gender stereotypes. I loved its diverse characters and the little cultural glimpses each one gives us, from trolls to Igors to vampires.⤵️
Cue the evil laughter. There really should be a smiling emoji with sharper teeth. That feels appropriate. 😁😈
