“But the grannies, oh, the grannies... It had almost been cheating, putting them on the parapet with a megaphone during the lulls: ‘I knows you're out there, our Ron! This is your Nan! You climb up one more time and you'll feel the back of my hand! Our Rita sends her love and wants you to hurry home. Grandpa is feeling a lot better with the new ointment! Now stop being a silly boy!‘”

“One thing Vimes was learning fast was the natural vindictiveness of old ladies, who had no sense of fair play when it came to fighting soldiers; give a granny a spear and a hole to jab it through, and young men on the other side were in big trouble.”

Another easy pick for the week. What a powerful book - it's in my top two of favorite Pratchetts. The complicated plot is gorgeously arranged and paced, and it had me in tears by the end for several reasons.

*Not* a good entry point to the Watch or Discworld series, because there's so much character growth and unexpected background.

julesG I agree, Night Watch is not a good starting point for any Discworld explorer. 7d

julesG I really enjoyed Vetinari in this one, this time around. And I don't really know why. 1w
willaful Well that's new. I don't think Pratchett has ever made me cry before. (Except his biography.) 1w

julesG @willaful It's happened to me too. This one and Shepherd's Crown 😭 1w
willaful I can't remember if I read this one before, which makes me think I must not have, though it might not have made such a strong impression when I was younger. I think this is one of his best books.

I loved the symbolism of the case. Vimes is so resistant to the trappings that came with marriage to Sybil that it was good to see one he truly loved, that represents how much she cares for him, and becomes a lifeline.
1w
willaful And I loved his recognition and acceptance of the fact that it's time to let himself be more than a copper. He has to be a husband and father too. 1w
BookmarkTavern @willaful I loved that too! His constant little reminders of what he was missing. Sybil and Sam is my favorite romantic couples Pratchett wrote. 6d

Pickpick

A magical mishap throws Vimes & the serial killer he‘s chasing back in time to the eve of revolution. He‘ll have to protect his younger self, hunt down this killer, & get himself home.

The arc of growth Vimes has is just astounding. Getting thrown back to rampant corruption, police brutality, people getting kidnapped off the streets to be tortured, & yet seeing all this darkness & saying “No, this stops now.” How do we get a Sam please?🌕🌕🌕🌕🌗

julesG I think a Sam is really something that's needed in this world right now. Although, I wouldn't mind a Carrot either, but he's a bit too goody-two-shoes sometimes. 🦧 2w
BookmarkTavern @julesG As much as I love Carrot, I don‘t want someone who is so willing to see the good in every person. I‘m not feeling that generous right now. 😅 2w
