Raising Steam | Terry Pratchett
post image
Pickpick

Steam engines have come to the Disc. At the same time, a small & vocal group of dwarves are committing terrorism & arson in the name of “Dwarves First.” Fortunately, chaos is where Moist von Lipwig thrives.

I love the Moist novels. Chaotic & thrilling, but also thoughtful commentaries. Here we watch a vocal group push against progress & change, because they are scared & angry. Loved the whole cast, loved the goblins, loved the ending. 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌗

jitteryjane724 Have you read much Pratchett? I'd be curious for the sequence you recommend going through Discworld. 2y
Vansa I love his Moist books.Theyre a beautiful alternate description of Victorian era technological developments. 2y

Vansa @jitteryjane724 I read Discworld in the chronological order of publication of books! They're hugely enjoyable either way. But for books with a particular set of characters, for instance, The Watch series, or the Witches, you have to read those in order. 2y
BookmarkTavern @jitteryjane724 I first read them in the order that my library had available copies! 😂 So no order at all, but I love sharing this flow chart for people interested in starting! https://goddamnshinyrock.tumblr.com/post/702487404966232064/goddamnshinyrock-god... 2y
jitteryjane724 @ozma.of.oz thanks for the flow chart! I'll probably use this to help decide, but I too am at the mercy of my library 😁 2y
jitteryjane724 @Vansa good point!! 2y

Snuff | Terry Pratchett

Pickpick

Commander Sam Vimes‘s family vacation is interrupted by a brawl, a murder, drug trafficking, slavery, an examination of complicity in the face of atrocities, and the question of what makes a person and who should be protected by the law.

An intense read, with a bit of a slow start. Sam Vimes is in my top five favorite characters. Ever. His growth, his gruff compassion, his ability to look at himself and do better, just *chef‘s kiss*. 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

BookmarkTavern #OokBOkClub This makes me want to go back to Guard, Guards! immediately, but I recently loaned it out to my father. 😅#SeriesRead2022 @TheSpineView (edited) 2y
