Witches Abroad

Luggage, Luggage, where are you?
Okay I won’t whine about my favorite sentient baggage being absent because these days are the perfect days for Discworld and this is one of my favorites so far!

Discworld Does Hollywood
Moving Pictures
Discworld #10
The geniuses of Discworld are getting into Hollywood- or because this is Discword Holy Wood. And perhaps due to the subject matter for me it was one of the more fun and relatable Discworld novels.
Return to Discworld: Thoughts on 7,8 & 9
Pyramids
By: Terry Pratchett
I took a little break from my Discworld reading travels at the beginning of the year. Maybe it was fatigue but Good Omens put me in the mood to jump back in. In the future I probably won’t follow the one a month schedule that I had been doing.
Discworld is great fun but it’s probably best when you’re feeling in the mood for the crazy…
The Best Discworld Yet
Wyrd Sisters
By: Terry Pratchett
Grade: A+
“When you break the rules, break ’em good and hard.”
Welcome back Granny Weatherwax!

Wizards vs. Witches in Equal Rites
Equal Rites
By: Terry Pratchett
Grade: A
A dying wizard passes along his magic staff to the chosen eighth son of an eighth son. Only whoops- someone really should have checked on that first cause the son number eight happens to be a daughter and well, girls can’t become wizards!
Which after reading about the (not so) braintrusts of the wizarding world in the first two books you’d think gender shouldn’t be an issue.
The Light Fantastic: Discworld Take 2!
The Light Fantastic
By: Terry Pratchett
Grade: B+
Rincewind continues to have one of those days in which nothing quiet goes right. Twoflower and his awesome killer luggage continue to explore Discworld which is seemingly hurtling toward a red cataclysm in the sky and none of our so-called wizards can stop it.
Well, except for the one whose looking to increase his own power.
A Slip of the Keyboard
After reading Discworld I wanted to read more of Terry Pratchett so I picked up A Slip of the Keyboard. If I said he was a good natural storyteller people who’d read him before would […]
Dropping into Discworld
I have to admit that I hadn’t even heard of the Discworld Series before I started looking up books to read by Terry Pratchett. Kind of sad state of affairs. I feel like I should […]
