Raising Steam | Terry Pratchett
post image
Pickpick

When one‘s mostly reformed con artist needs a new challenge, it is remarkable timing that the invention of the steam engine & pushback from a violent minority all happen at the same time.

I think this one, more than any other so far, has made me mourn the stories we could have gotten. Pratchett‘s depiction of a small, angry, vocal group driven by fear to upend all they don‘t understand, it hits harder this time around. 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

This was my first Agatha Christie book. I‘m participating in the #christiescapers buddy read and I want to reread this book. I listened to it on Audible and it was narrated by Dan Stevens. He did really good. I liked his voice. He has the perfect voice for this type of book. I will listen to him narrate again.

Ok, one of the #ToB discussions mentions the word “nondescript” and SURE ENOUGH, I find this word on page 1 of my book today 🙄

#BookClubBook sort of; #bookslumpmaybe

I've been loving the books my daughter has received from the Imagination Library program. The tagged book is the first book every child receives regardless of age, the rest are sorted into age groups and what your local library sponsoring the program chooses. One more reason we all love Dolly 💕 Absolute icon! 🤩

Looks like Amazon in the US is having a sale on all of Terry Pratchett. Might be time to pick up a book if you need it. @julesG

julesG Thank you, Melissa! 1mo

julesG @willaful Thank you!!! 1mo
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @willaful even better, I‘ve personally been trying to get more from the library and not give Amazon money any more. 🤷‍♀️ 1mo

Book swap presents for the little people in my life from earlier this month when I went to visit them on holiday on the central coast.

The Wheel Spins | Ethel Lina White

The Wheel Spins aka The Lady Vanishes - this was a lot of fun! I've never seen the movie but would like to check it out. The MC wasn't very likeable but it's impossible not to sympathize with her distress. I liked how the overheard conversation between Hare and the professor, about the effectiveness of juries and reliability of witnesses, set a theme for how the journey would play out.

inthegreensandblues Thanks for selecting this book, @JenlovesJT47! I'm not sure I'd have ever picked it up if not for this buddy read. 2mo
JenlovesJT47 Dunno why I never noticed your tag but I‘m glad you liked it! 🤗 3w
