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.

julesG @TheSpineView that's absolutely fine. It's an option not an obligation. 😁 4d
julesG @kwmg40 Great!!! 4d
TheSpineView @julesG 😎😎😎 4d
Soubhiville Wow that‘s confusing! I probably won‘t reread right now, but if you keep tagging me I might occasionally feel like picking up what you‘re reading. 🙂 4d
BookmarkTavern Yes! I love this idea! 💖💖💖 4d
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! 4d
peanutnine Could you tag me for this? I've always wanted to read Discworld but never know where to even begin. A readalong with y'all sounds perfect 4d
julesG @rretzler @peanutnine Yeah! Glad to have you join us. 4d
BookWrym Been meaning to get back to discworld for a while please tag me 😀 4d
willaful Keep me tagged please! 4d
julesG @BookWrym Glad to have you. 4d
BarbaraJean I‘m definitely interested! I‘ve only read Mort and the Tiffany Aching books, so I‘d love to join a buddy read and work through Discworld more comprehensively. 4d
julesG @BarbaraJean 🎉🎉 4d
julesG @LitsyEvents - would you repost this please? 4d
Marmie7 I would definitely be in for a few of them. I followed the last read-along but wasn't able to read them all. 4d
Light_of_Aether I'm in! I read The Color of Magic for the first time in January and I'm excited to read more. 4d
julesG @Marmie7 That's fine. Great to have you with us again. 4d
julesG @Light_of_Aether Wonderful. I'll add you to the tag-list. 4d
Balibee146 I'd be up for this looks fun .... I just reread Sourcery a few weeks ago though so I may skim read that to start with lol 4d
julesG @Balibee146 🎊🎊 welcome aboard! 😊 4d
Deblovestoread I‘ve not read any of these books so now seems like a great opportunity to do. Please add me to your list. 💜 3d
Fortifiedbybooks I'm in! 😁 3d
TheAromaofBooks Oh no, another series buddy read I'm very interested in! 😂 This is an author I've always meant to try but never have, so I think I'll jump in for the first couple of books and see if he is to my liking!! 2d
julesG @TheAromaofBooks Yes, do join us. I hope you'll like the books. 2d

This was interesting, but dated at this point- it was published in 2016. I read it for #FoodAndLit #SouthKorea but the Latin American chapter was my favorite.

Texreader Sounds really interesting 2w
Kristy_K I have this sitting on my bookshelves still unread. Worth the read still or too irrelevant now? 2w
Bookwormjillk @Kristy_K I think it‘s still worth the read since it wasn‘t too long, and gave some good history behind what‘s happening in the world today. I wish this author would update the book though. 2w
Kristy_K @Bookwormjillk Thank you! 2w
Catsandbooks How cool! 🙌🏼🇰🇷 2w

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

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

This lived up to the hype, which in my mind was considerable, as it had come highly recommended from sources I love. A mystery with some magic woven in, a New York story involving the NYPL, I saw some things coming but couldn‘t guess others. Loved it. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Always enjoy a Barclay; romping speed, exciting plots and clever twists. It deals with some very serious and heavy sub plots that are carefully handled and the antagonist characters had a believability and richness that made their crimes more realistic. The general idea of discovering a crime via a Google Earth style app was incredibly clever.

Got these beauties from family over the holidays. Can‘t wait to jump into the tagged book. I have a small globe collection and am interested to read how they are made.
