pickHad a splendid time with this reread. Definitely one of my favourite of the witch books in the Discworld, for a number of reasons.
The concise manner in which the elves are portrayed as menacing by their very indifference to life (even outside the evil cat metaphor), Pratchett is able to make you creeped out and concerned in a few sentences. 1/?

If anyone wants to be tagged/untagged for future posts please let me know! Happy to oblige!
Not that you'd actually need another reason to entice me into a trip to the countryside, but this would totally work on me. Must... catalogue! 📚🤓
I forgot how creepy the elves were in Pratchett's version. 🫣

You have Nanny Ogg there as stalwart friend to Weatherwax, clapping back and backing up as necessary, but you also have her as an irrepressible personality, pursued by Casanunda, the dwarf purported to be the second greatest lover in the world. (edited) 4d
I forgot the Librarian joined the wizards who visit Lancre for the upcoming nuptials and much like Nanny, it's always a good time when he's on the page. 4d
Wish me luck in my ongoing reread of the witch books, because I don't remember having the most favourable impression of the next in the subseries, Maskerade, when I first read it. 🤞🏻 (edited) 4d
