Dear #OokBOokClub-ers,

Here we go, my proposed schedule for our #Discworld re-read. I've included a few of the short stories and where to find them.

Repost for @julesG

Dear #OokBOokClub-ers,

I am proposing a #Discworld re-read based on the above reading guide. #SirTerryPratchett himself suggested starting with Sourcery, so that's what I'd suggest too.

I can draw up a reading schedule.

Your thoughts?

Let me know if you want to be tagged in future postings.

BookmarkTavern Yes! I love this idea! 💖💖💖 5d
rretzler Absolutely, I‘m trying to read them all for the first time, so a reread of some and an initial read for others is just what I need to keep me motivated and on track! Thanks for organizing! 5d

Thank you all, dear #OokBOokClub-ers!

We've read our way through the #PratchettVerse. It was a pleasure hosting the #ReadAlong and discussing the books with you.

Thank you to @TricksyTails for starting the #EpicBuddyread. I took over hosting in the autumn of 2018 (thank you, @DGRachel, for helping me find my feet) and I'm sure to miss my regular calendar alarms reminding me to send off the next #OokBOokClub posts.

What are we reading next?

willaful Start over? 😁 3w
julesG @willaful Definitely an option. 3w
See All 19 Comments
kwmg40 I would love starting over, as I joined this buddy read late and never caught up. I‘ve finished about a third of the books. However, I‘d totally understand the rest of the group wanting to move on and do something new! 3w
TheSpineView I would like to choose another author. However, I did miss a lot because I went down several rabbit holes. 3w
kwmg40 Another author would be fine with me, but if we do end up rereading Pratchett's books, maybe we can start with a collection (such as City Watch or Witches) instead of reading through all the books in publication order? 3w
julesG @kwmg40 I like that idea of reading the collections. But I'm also up for a new author, @TheSpineView. 3w
BookmarkTavern I‘d love either way! This has been an utter delight! 3w
julesG @BookmarkTavern @TheSpineView @kwmg40 @willaful - Re: re-reading Pratchett -- I'd want to do Discworld collections. I'm not very keen on (re-)reading The Long Earth series, but would be up to re-read the children's books (Carpet People, Maurice, etc.). Re: different author, my thoughts -- a) it should be an author with at least 12 books under their belt to get us through a year at least, b) it should be "light" reading, c) ⬇️ 3w
julesG c) books should be easy to access, neither of us wants to comb through archives or spend lots of money on collectors' copies, d) I'm open to suggestions 3w
TheSpineView @julesG As a reread are you thinking an author in the same vein? Like Neil Gaiman? 3w
julesG @TheSpineView Gaiman came to mind, but he has some doorstoppers (American Gods). Also thought Jasper Fforde and Ben Aaronovitch. Jodi Taylor might work too. Further Chesterton and Wodehouse, who were both influences for Pratchett. 3w
julesG And if we stick to a Pratchett re-read then I'd want to do The Witches, Death, The Watch,... 3w
kwmg40 If we're going outside the fantasy genre, Chesterton and Wodehouse would be OK with me. Within fantasy, maybe Martha Wells or Seanan McGuire (who also writes as Mira Grant)? Their works aren't necessarily “light“ as in humorous but they tend to be quick to read and there are lots of novella-length works. 3w
kwmg40 If we stay with Pratchett, my top choices would be City Watch or Industrial as collections, as I have the most gaps in those collections, but any would be fine with me. 3w
SconsinBookyBadger Please tag me for the next buddy reads whichever direction it leads to a re-read or different author. I fell behind on this one and regret has been nagging at me lately. 3w
julesG @SconsinBookyBadger I know that feeling. Will tag you. 3w
rretzler I have no idea how I missed this until it was over. I guess partially because I haven‘t been active in a couple of years, but I wish I had some upon it before now! Please tag me if you do something else. 3w
julesG @rretzler Will do! 3w

I may not have met my total book goal, but I did meet my goal to read all the Night Watch books in the Discworld series by Terry Pratchett. Will have to figure out which of the Discworld character arcs I want to read next, and maybe join #SeriesLove2024 to help!

#SundayFunday @BookmarkTavern

BookmarkTavern Woohoo! Any goal relating to Discworld is great in my book. I‘d highly recommend the Death novels! 💕 3mo
SaunteringVaguelyDownwards Thanks, @BookmarkTavern! I managed to squeeze in Hogfather at Christmas as well, so the Death stories seem like a natural next step. 3mo
Andrew65 It would be great to have you join #SeriesLove2024 😁 3mo

Dear #OokBOokClub-ers,

I've revised the schedule for this year, but haven't included the rediscovered short stories "A Stroke of the Pen", which were published under a pen-name, yet. The publication date is October 5th.

We could read them in January and push the biography back another month.
