Open Your Eyes and Then Open Them Again

The Wee Free Men by Terry Pratchett

February 25, 2021 by Ale Leave a Comment

I will forever and always love Terry Pratchett and everything he ever wrote. The fact that we will never get a new Pratchett novel still makes me sad, and I’ve stayed away from any rereads of his books for a while since they just make me miss him. But my awesome CBR book exchange partner sent me The Wee Free Men for book exchange, and after the year we all had, I both wanted to reread something I knew I’d love, and comfort myself with […]

When does this get un-sad?

A Hat Full of Sky by Terry Pratchett

February 21, 2018 by Bothari43 3 Comments

I miss the days when a Pratchett book was just a Pratchett book – brilliant and wonderful and funny and sharp and thought-provoking. Now, rereading A Hat Full of Sky, it’s all those things, but now there’s this overlay of SAD. Sad that we don’t get to see Tiffany Aching grow up. Sad about what happens to Granny Weatherwax. Heartbroken and furious at the universe for what happened to Sir Terry. SIGH. But if you let the Nac Mac Feegle chase away the sad for […]

An emotional but worthwhile journey

The Shepherd's Crown by Terry Pratchett

December 13, 2016 by Bothari43 Leave a Comment

There was much less sobbing than I expected, even considering what happens right at the beginning of the book (no spoilers). I am mad at the universe for taking Pratchett from us so soon (especially since I’ve been rereading Douglas Adams and I’m mad about that all over again), but I knew Pratchett wouldn’t let me down. His final Discworld book checks back in with Tiffany Aching, teenage witch and all-around badass. The elves are trying to break out of fairyland and wreak havoc in […]

For You Have Left the World Better than You Found it.

The Shepherd's Crown by Terry Pratchett

October 10, 2016 by Belphebe Leave a Comment

Ok let’s do this.  After avoiding the end for as long as I could, I finally read the last book by my favorite author of all time, Terry Pratchett.  Terry is a good guy to have as a favorite.  His books are witty and charming, full of reappearing characters and, unlike some fantasy writers (I’m looking at you GRRM), appearing at regular intervals.  Now he is gone.  Taken too soon by the thief of time, Alzheimer’s Disease. The Shepherd’s Crown was released way back in […]

Back in Black

I Shall Wear Midnight by Terry Pratchett

October 10, 2016 by Belphebe Leave a Comment

I must confess that this a re-read of this book, but I honestly couldn’t remember much about the plot.  Terry Pratchett is my comfort food.  I can reread his books over and over and still be entertained and gain deeper understanding of the author and the characters he has created.  I have been reluctant to read the final book in this series as it is final book by the author who died last year from Alzheimer’s Disease. So I procrastinated by re-reading I Shall Wear […]
