“You take a bunch of people who don’t seem any different from you and me, but when you add them all together you get this sort of huge raving maniac with national borders and an anthem.”

Monstrous Regiment by Terry Pratchett

Nowhere Book Bingo 2025: A book with LGBTQIA-rep CBR17 Bingo: Border (this book is all about a very drawn-out war with borders between the opposing countries constantly changing, depending on who’s currently winning) Spoiler warnings for a 22 year old book. I don’t think I can review it well without revealing some of the more essential plot points. Official plot summary: It began as a sudden strange fancy… Polly Perks had to become a boy in a hurry. Cutting off her hair and wearing trousers […]

Monstrous Regiment (Discworld, #31) by Terry Pratchett

This book was newly published when I first started reading Discworld eighteen years ago. I wanted to read it right then but, because I am me, I decided to wait until I could read it in order. Literally half my life later, I made it! And honestly, I’m kind of glad I waited. Eighteen year old me was smart, but I appreciate it more now than I think I would have then. This one has instantly made my top five Discworld books, right up there […]

I am continuing on my quest reading through Terry Pratchett’s oeuvre, especially audiobooks–they provide a nice break from other reading, especially when I’m cooking or cleaning or on short walks. I’ve also started listening to some with my husband during evenings when we just want to relax, so I have his thoughts on some of them (we have moved on from Poirot, at least for now). This combined review inclides a long rant on Snuff. I’m counting these as a combined entry for Bingo under Happy […]
