Soubhiville Good morning Pratchett fans! I‘ve read this one twice in the last 3 years. The first time I‘d just gotten it as a gift, and it fell a little flat for me. The second it clicked better and I loved it and laughed a ton, maybe because I‘ve been rereading the whole series so the other witch books were a bit fresher. 5y

Soubhiville My favorite part of this one is Greebo‘s alternate personality! I just love that cat! 5y

julesG @Soubhiville Greebo's alternate personality is MEOoooowwwe! 😁 5y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Soubhiville @julesG I just finished last night, running behind as usual. I also loved Greebo‘s part, and I quite enjoyed watching the witches fracture all our favorite fairy tales in their journey as they poke fun at the whole thing. For instance why would chopping your way through some briars and kissing a sleeping girl make anyone good husband material. 🤔 5y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa Plus I thought Nanny was quite hilarious in this one...her contemplations about, now if we could reverse this and have the man at night and frog in the daytime...that‘d be more workable. So much less fuss and mess. 🤣 5y

julesG @Riveted_Reader_Melissa I also thought Nanny was much stronger in this one. And, since I haven't read all Witches books yet, I'm still hoping the Hedgehog song's lyrics will be on one of the other books. 5y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @julesG My edition has a blurb by the author in the beginning saying he has received a lot of unsolicited verses for the song from readers.🤣 5y

julesG @Riveted_Reader_Melissa 😂😂 I'll Google 5y

Soubhiville @Riveted_Reader_Melissa @julesG you can find some videos of the song on YouTube as well! 5y

khooliha Just finished this right before dinner, snuffling quietly over them going to see the elephant. Sometimes on this reread I find myself wishing that some characters got more space (hi Magrat!), but the hits in this book basically don't stop coming. 5y

khooliha Buuuuut maybe don't stop the oppressed people of a city end the upper class with the concept of a swamp??? Let the idea of alligators chomp some richey riches. 5y

khooliha Also, this is one of my Josh Kirby illustrated editions (don't love it), and I guess he thought parrots live in New Orleans? 5y

julesG @khooliha Yeah, the parrot doesn't really make sense. I've been wondering about it too. 😁 5y
