TheSpineView Loved the art work!! 💙🎨 10h
willaful @TheSpineView So creative. I love the three of them in their astronaut outfits, with “Wizzard“ on Rincewind's helmet. 😂 And them as chess pieces for the gods...

julesG @TheSpineView @willaful 🤣🤣 I really like just leaving through the book on some days. 2h
TheSpineView @julesG Yes! If the book had no pics. It was still great and had all the things I love about Pratchett's stories. However, the pics just sent it over the top. 59m

#ReadAway2024 @Andrew65 @DieAReader @GHABI4ROSES

Finished Asking For Trouble yesterday. That makes it the 2nd book completed in the #ForTheLoveofBooks readathon. Still working on two other books. I will probably start The Last Hero today for the #OokBookClub @julesG

julesG I will probably read Last Hero on Thursday, just because I've kept postponing it all month and my phone's reminder to prepare the discussion post will make me read it. It's not a bad book, it's just that I had to binge on the BDB. 🙄🙄 6d
TheSpineView Sounds like a plan. I need to read Last Hero before I get sucked into the BDB world again. 6d
DieAReader 🥳Fantastic!! 6d

I picked this up from the library today and had no idea it was going to be so huge! And illustrated! I‘m really looking forward to reading this now, except I‘m revising my original plan of tossing it in my bag to read on the plane tomorrow. 😆 #OokBookClub

julesG It's definitely huge in hardcover. I have the paperback edition, which I should try to locate. 🤣 3w

Pickpick

I'm very behind on reviews but slowly catching up on #OokBOokClub reading @julesG

I liked this one better than Sourcery. Rincewind is still bumbling along but he at least had a good excuse for his cluelessness this time, with his not actually being a demon. I enjoyed the way Eric's wishes were interpreted and the depiction of the Trojan War

Soft pick

Last Continent | Terry Pratchett

Pickpick

This one was a low pick for me. I'm not a huge fan of the Rincewind books but this installment, which involves time travel and the Australian continent, was entertaining enough and I always enjoy appearances of The Luggage.

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! I still haven't read this one; I'm falling behind already haha 1mo
TheSpineView Great job!👍🌞😊 1mo
julesG I am astonished at how many of the #OokBOokClub-ers don't like the Rincewind books. We're transitioning out of the UU now. Glad you stuck with us on the re-read 4w

kwmg40 @TheAromaofBooks I fell behind the first time through all the books with #OokBookClub so I was so happy to have this second chance to fill in the gaps! The nice thing is that most of the books can be read standalone so it doesn't matter if you skip one. 4w
kwmg40 @TheSpineView Thanks! I'm happy that @julesG decided to run the Pratchett reread again, as it is definitely helping me with the #SeriesLove2024 challenge. 4w
kwmg40 @julesG I wouldn't say that I don't like the Rincewind books. I just like them less than the other Discworld books. I'm still glad we're reading through them. I think the reason I like this subseries less is that the earlier Rincewind books seemed mostly slapstick with little character development, though there is a bit more of that with the later books. 4w
julesG 😘 I'm glad we started the reread, too. Rincewind gets better towards the end of the subseries. Reading the subseries in order makes me more aware of the character development. 4w
kwmg40 @julesG Yes, that is definitely an advantage of reading each subseries one at a time! 4w
