#Discworld

Really enjoyed my reread. The audio is fantastic. The jingle for the footnotes worked really well, the story held up and I am looking forward to the discussion next month.

What # are we using for this read? Is there an easy way to tag everyone?

Sourcery: A Discworld Novel | Terence David John Pratchett

Just a friendly reminder that we are setting off on the second round around the #Discworld today with #Sourcery.

Looking forward to our discussion next month!

PS: this book might work for some of the #52bookclub24 bonus prompts for April - I'm definitely using it for "desert you"

BookmarkTavern Yay! I‘m so excited! (edited) 2w

TheSpineView @julesG That happens some times. 2w

Deblovestoread Sometimes it doesn‘t want to play nice. I‘m very excited as a first time reader of these books. 💜🧙💜 2w

BookWrym I have hit the audiobook already and the narration is great. Read by Colin Morgan, Bill Nighy & Peter Serafinowicz. The footnotes have their own little jingle and I am loving it. Having previously read the paperbacks I am finding audio a delightful way to revisit. Plans for this read along will be whatever format I can my hands on. 2w

julesG @BookWrym Same here. I previously listened to the Nigel Planer narration, but have the new one queued up for this round. 2w

TheAromaofBooks Yay!! This will be my first time reading a Pratchett book. I'm so interested to try out his writing!! 2w

julesG @Deblovestoread @TheAromaofBooks I hope you like it. 2w

willaful D'oh! I thought the discussion was this month and just finished it. I hope I remember something to discuss. 😂 2w

julesG @willaful I'm sure you will. 😂 2w

rretzler @willaful I finished it on the date we were to have started! I had totally forgotten what quick and easy reads these were. 2w

rretzler @BookWrym Also loving that footnote jingle! I wish ALL audiobooks had that! 2w

Chrissyreadit I‘ve not read any Discworld books- should i read The Color of Magic first? 4w

julesG @Chrissyreadit No. Pratchett himself said to start with Sourcery and read the first two novels later when you know your way around the Discworld a bit. 4w

Chrissyreadit ok- ordering now. 4w

Making Money | Terry Pratchett

pick

This is definitely one of those cases in the Discworld series where reading at least one other book in publishing order helps. The first half is a lot more fun when you've read Going Postal, and can view it as the continued adventures of Moist von Lipwig, who I would never characterize as 'up to his usual tricks' because he's far too unpredictable, as are the things that happen to him and those around him. 1/2

Robotswithpersonality 2/2 The third quarter sets up the last quarter and the last quarter is fantastic in every sense of the word.
Chock-full of absurd characters and perennially relevant social commentary. Of course, now I want to reread Raising Steam to complete the reread trilogy. And as usually happens, with the later books for Vimes or Lipwig, I get a little sad that Terry never had the chance to dive into further adventures with this character. 😔

Making Money | Terry Pratchett

Classic Pratchett: a paragraph of casually related bold-faced social critique ending with a brain-scratching-ly good turn of phrase. 👌🏻🤌🏻

Terry Pratchett: a Life with Footnotes: The Official Biography | Rob Wilkins

pick

The life of Terry Pratchett, written by his longtime personal assistant and friend, Rob Wilkins.

This was so perfect. It was a heartbreaking joy to learn more about the man whose writing changed my life. His background, his inspirations, his dedication to writing. & it‘s nice to know that he appears to be as genuine & good hearted as I thought he‘d be. #GNUTerryPratchett #OokBOokClub 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌗

BookmarkTavern The last quarter of the book deals with Pratchett‘s diagnosis and life with Alzheimer‘s, as well as his support for physician assisted suicide 2mo

BookmarkTavern Footnote 1: I would give serious consideration to giving up an organ if I could get that short story of orcs in Jane Austen. 2mo

BookmarkTavern Footnote 2: I held it together pretty well, only tearing up. Until Rob started listing the books on the hard drive destroyed by the steamroller. THEN I burst into tears. 2mo

julesG Same for me, Re: Footnotes 1+2. I haven't written a review yet. 2mo
