The Long Earth | Terry Pratchett, Stephen Baxter

so-so

The first novel I‘ve read by Terry Pritchett. It‘s 1916 on the Western Front where Private Percy Blackney awaken on the grass. Where he hears birds singing and the breeze stirring in the leaves. The novel has “steppers” who are able to travel from one world to others. There are lots of humorous little tales and the fiction wound up in the book. The characters are definitely different. It was a fun read. 4/5

BooksNBowls I want to read some Terry but idk where to start!! 2d

My Favorite Authors | Thomas Costley

It‘s December, our final 2024 #AuthorAMonth! Time to pull out our Terry Pratchett books. What are you planning to read?

#AuthorAMonth is a no-pressure, no-commitment Litsy challenge. The goal is to celebrate the works of a particular author each month. Authors were chosen through polls by Litsy participants. Read as many as you like, skip months when needed, it's entirely up to you! ⬇️

Soubhiville There will be some prizes sent at the end of the year:

-There will be ONE prize book box for "MOST READ." In order to qualify, books must be FINISHED in the appropriate month. (Bails will not be counted.) It is up to you to keep track by editing your Google form. (this prize can only be won once, there will be a different winner every year.) ⬇️ 2d

Soubhiville -There will be one prize randomly chosen from the "EVERY MONTH CLUB". To qualify for this prize you must read one or more book every month for the qualifying author. For this category BAILS COUNT. The winners will be chosen randomly from the participants that qualify for the club.

-There will also be one or more random prizes sent to any randomly drawn participant who has FINISHED at least one qualifying book during the year. ⬇️ 2d

Soubhiville Once you start your Google form you will get an email confirmation. Hold on to that email, it gives you access to edit the form. You should also be able to access it through your Google Drive. I can not access it for you though, and if you can‘t get to the form you started my link will make you start a new form. It is up to you if you track monthly with the form or just fill it out at the end of the year. ⬇️ 2d

AllDebooks I'm going with

Father Christmas�s Fake Beard

Soubhiville @AllDebooks that sounds fun! 2d

BarkingMadRead

Hogfather

vonnie862 I think I'm going to start with the first book in the Discworld series. 2d

dariazeoli I‘ve got this one on my Kindle

Going Postal

Andrew65 I looking forward to reading a Terry Pratchett book this month, so far only read Good Omens that he co-authored. 2d

Andrew65 @AllDebooks That seems an appropriate book for December, might check this one out. 2d

AmyG Skipping as Pratchett is not for me. Enjoy everyone! 2d

AllDebooks @Soubhiville 🙂 2d

AllDebooks @Andrew65 🙂 I recommend his short stories. This was very good

A Stroke of the Pen: The Lost Stories

bookwyrm7 Please add me to the tag list. I can't join this month but will do so next year. Are the prizes also for those in Europe, or only in a certain country? 2d

JacqMac I bought a beautiful hardcover of this one and I can‘t wait to start.

Hogfather

Jess I just started A Stroke of a Pen on audio and it is so fun. The first story was read by David Tennent and the second by Claire Foy. Great start! 2d

Larkken Yay! Love sir terry. I may start a discworld reread… we‘ll see 2d

Soubhiville @bookwyrm7 you are added! I will ship to Europe for the big prize, for the smaller ones I‘m more likely to get a gift card to the bookstore of your choice, as overseas shipping from the states is really expensive. 2d

Soubhiville @vonnie862 if you don‘t love the first Discworld book, don‘t let it put you off the rest. Most of his fans feel he didn‘t get his stride until a few books in and the first two aren‘t nearly as good. 2d

Soubhiville @Jess I didn‘t know the audio had multiple narrators! I loved reading this one though, some great stories. 2d

willaful Can you tag me for next year please? And I'll be reading The Truth this month, for #OokBookClub. 2d

Soubhiville @willaful you‘re added 2d

Andrew65 @AllDebooks Thanks, will see if I can get hold of this. 2d

bookwyrm7 @Soubhiville Thanks! That's perfectly fine 👌 2d

vonnie862 @Soubhiville I've been debating of where to start 2d

The Golden Road | L. M. Montgomery

#KindredSpiritsBuddyRead #LMMReread

Checking in at the midpoint of The Golden Road! Thoughts on the first half of the book?

Which events and adventures stand out to you? What do you think of “Our Magazine”?

In comparing it to The Story Girl, do you see growth and change in the characters?

rubyslippersreads, JenlovesJT47, lauraisntwilder, kwmg40, TheAromaofBooks, Roary47, julieclair

lauraisntwilder I went rogue and decided to squeeze in Chronicles of Avonlea before starting this one. I'll catch up for next week. 😊 2w

TheAromaofBooks @lauraisntwilder - I'm reading the Chronicles, too! 😂 2w

TheAromaofBooks I'm also reading The Golden Road, although I'm not quite to the halfway point yet. I'm actually really enjoying this except Felicity seems way more unlikable in this one. She's so smug and condescending. I just wanted to smack her when they were all making their New Year's resolutions. This one doesn't seem to have as many of the Story Girl's stories, which is okay with me as I enjoy the adventures of the gang more, I think. Staying in Peg's ⬇ 2w

See All 12 Comments

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) house was pretty exciting!!

On the whole, I don't feel like anyone has changed much since the last book (other than Felicity being worse lol) but I also think that not much time has supposedly past since the conclusion of The Story Girl, either. 2w

julieclair The chapter where they stayed in Peg‘s house was a hoot! My favorite chapter, I think. And I agree with @TheAromaofBooks about Felicity. She‘s on my last nerve. 😂 2w

julieclair I‘m really enjoying all the juicy, and sometimes snarky, tidbits in Our Magazine. 2w

BarbaraJean @lauraisntwilder @TheAromaofBooks I love that you're both reading Chronicles! I support the going rogue. 😁 2w

BarbaraJean @TheAromaofBooks @julieclair Yes about Felicity—ugh!! I did love the comment about the New Year's resolutions in “Our Magazine,“ basically saying that Felicity claims to have thought a beautiful thought every morning but won't tell them what any of the thoughts were 😂 And I'm enjoying Dan's method of dealing with her, with all his snarky “dear sis“ and “darling“ tacked on to his comments! 😂 ⬇ 2w

BarbaraJean The adventures here feel more memorable than in Story Girl—they're doing more than sitting around telling stories & making up games. The Peg chapter is a favorite, for sure—especially after their desperate & scared pilgrimage to ask for her help over poor Paddy! Not that much time has passed, but it seems like they're discussing “older“ subjects and at least Cecily seems less little-girl-ish. Maybe that's just all the drama over Cyrus Brisk!! 2w

kwmg40 As others have mentioned, the chapter at Peg's house was the best one so far. In fact, I'd been finding the pace a bit slow up until then, but now I'm wondering if/how all her predictions will come true! 2w

kwmg40 Coincidentally, I'm reading at the same time Terry Pratchett's The Truth with the #OokBOokClub, which is about a group of Discworld characters trying to set up and run a newspaper. The parallels are fun to consider, though the settings couldn't be more different from each other. 2w

BarbaraJean @kwmg40 There are some great Peg moments in the second half, too! So funny about parallels to The Truth—I still need to get started on that one. Very different publications, I‘m sure 😂 2w
