#Two4Tuesday @TheSpineView

May has a few more days left... and I'm having a hard time to decide...

1) going with this series, because I flew threw it ignoring all other books

2) 🤔🤔🤔 I have no idea apart from the next #BDBBuddyRead and #OokBOokClub books

TheSpineView Some months it is so hard to decide a favorite. Thanks for playing 3d

Ayyy I made it! 😅 The last -ology I needed to read through would‘ve been decalogy. I planned on The Sandman GNs way back when I started this project, but sadly I‘ll be skipping those. So instead I‘m continuing on with the mega series of Discworld. I‘ll be marathoning my way through the Industrial Revolution collection that I‘ve gotten behind on with the #OokBookClub. Fingers crossed I‘ll get caught up to The City Watch novels.

This one was a mixed bag for me. While there were some bits and pieces I liked about it, I messed the humor. Not surprising since Pratchett didn't write this one. Still if you like the Discworld series you will like this one too. 3.5⭐️

julesG 🦧 I'm not sorry I read it, but it's closer to Colour of Magic on the Discworld spectrum than, say, Witches Abroad. 4d

Another belated #OokBOokClub review…

I was excited to find Pratchett using chapters in the first two Moist Von Lipwig books, and sad he was back to no chapters here. My brain likes chapters. And while I do feel the earlier books are stronger, I did really enjoy this—chapters or no. It‘s dawning on me that I‘m a sucker for a train-ride setting!

Moist continues to discover new sides to himself here, and his interplay with Adora was fantastic, ⤵️

BarbaraJean (Cont‘d) …even if there wasn't a whole lot of it. I also liked seeing the introduction of Dick Simnel, sort of being mentored by Harry and Moist.

I‘ve really liked the Moist Von Lipwig books, and am sad there aren‘t a few more. I‘ve enjoyed seeing his character growth and the new ways his ingenuity plays out across these three books—plus the incisive social commentary Sir Terry weaves in along the way.

julesG That wish for more books by Sir Terry will never leave me. 🦧 6d
BarbaraJean @julesG Seriously. My brain also starts on a bit of bargaining... wishing I could trade the Rincewind books for more Moist and Tiffany Aching (although the Tiffany Aching arc is just about perfect). 6d

I need to start Guards! Guards! in the next few days, so I‘d better circle back and review a couple previous #OokBOokClub reads!

With the Post Office well in hand, Moist Von Lipwig now takes charge of the Royal Mint and the bank—naturally. New over-the-top characters are introduced here, but Pratchett manages to handle them deftly enough that it (mostly) felt like just the right amount of outlandish and ridiculous. I really enjoyed this ⤵️

BarbaraJean (Cont‘d) …but not as much as Going Postal. I felt like the social/governmental satire was stronger there, plus more Adora Belle! That said, there was still plenty of almost-too-relevant satire here. I‘ve been more and more intrigued by the slow reveal of Vetinari‘s character as I make my way through the Discworld, and this one was good for more of that—present-day parallels that edge right up against that boundary of too-close-for-comfort for me! 6d
julesG J'adore Adora Belle! 😉🦧 6d
BarbaraJean @julesG Yes!! 💜💜 6d

I currently have four books I am working on (top row). I hope to finish at least two books this week.

Next up will be Mrs. Bradshaw's Handbook for #OokBookClub @julesG and The Stardust Grail for #LitsySciFiBookClub #LSFBC

julesG Mrs Bradshaw's should be a quick read. 2w
