julesG Guess I'm the only one who read this? I listened to the audiobook which had some fun effects, like public announcements sounded like you're actually at the train station. Other than that it was mainly commentary on different places and people on Discworld. 1d
kwmg40 None of the libraries I have access to had a copy and I wasn‘t sure this companion book was worth purchasing, so I‘m skipping it for now. Hope to get to it eventually if I can get hold of a copy. 1d
julesG @kwmg40 You didn't miss much. Honestly. Mrs Bradshaw travels the Disc by train and writes her travel log. I didn't have the impression it added a lot to my knowledge of Discworld 1d
kwmg40 Thanks. Good to know this one can be skipped without missing any really important Discworld info. I‘ve moved on to our next book, Guards, Guards, and enjoying the reread even more than my first read of it. 1d

Raising Steam | Terry Pratchett

I feel terrible, but I read fully half and then just couldn't go on. I was so bored! Almost every conversation was cringingly lifeless! 😩 😭

#OokBookClub

julesG You gave it your all. It's not one of his best, I'm afraid. Don't worry. We'll be reading Guards Guards in May. You can ignore Mrs Bradshaw's Handbook, it's very similar to Raising Steam. 3d
willaful I'm looking forward to Guards Guards! Couldn't get a copy of MBH anyway. :-( 3d
Faranae I've tried to get past the first chapter twice and it just... it isn't the Sir Terry I know. People tell me it gets better but... 3d
willaful @Faranae It doesn't. :-( 3d

Another great Pratchett book! This book introduces Vimes. Loved that he so stubborn. It suited his character. Anyway, I thought the dialog in the book was outstanding. Enjoyed this one immensely. 4.5🌟

A group believes that Ankh-Morpork would be better w/ a king in charge. & how do you get a king? Summon a dragon to be heroically defeated by a “lost heir” of course. Only, nothing about this goes the way you‘d think.

God I love Lady Sybil so much! I want to be her when I grow up. This one is more focused on poking fun at the tropes of high fantasy at the time, & it does it so well, while giving me some of my favorite characters.🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

julesG You're review made me wonder if there is a Pratchett where everything actually goes according to plan. 🤔 Not even Granny Weatherwax nails her plans on the first try, but she comes close. 😁 2w
