Any discworld fans out there; which (⏩swipe⏩) was your first read? Which is(are) your favourite(s)? Finished this epic back-to-back read through about a week ago. If you've never read one, have a look through the cover art by Josh Kirby (@joshkirbyart) and @paulkidby (Great A'tuin 👆) , and see which catches your eye; it's worth a peek, even if only for the art. Kirby did the first 26 covers before passing, with Paul Kidby taking up the mantle for the remaining 15 books. The wonderful thing about a novel: though the words, characters, and story remain the same; you as the reader rarely do. Picked up my first Discworld novel,  "Men at Arms" (probably still my favourite), way back in Primary (Elementary) school from the public library thanks to the fantastically enticing and slightly grotesque cover art by the legendary Josh Kirby. From that point on, if ever one was found on the shelves it had to be read. Unfortunately public libraries rarely had more than 3 or 4 of his books in the 90's/00's. My first full series read was back around 2014 when I decided to pick up art again, spanning the 2 years leading up to and following Sir Terry Pratchett's death with the publication of the final novel, "The Shepherd's Crown". That was bitter sweet as it meant acknowledging the end of it all. His books were always a source of inspiration and his subtle satirical wit and perspective on the more peculiar cultural traits we so prize and value, yet think so little on as a people, were always a source of amusement and comfort. It's nice to know you’re not alone in questioning the eccentricities of the everyday. I had hoped to get through them all in a year; but 4 extra months isn't so bad - that's life; there are things that need doing... mind how you go. #terrypratchett #joshkirby #paulkidby #discworld #bookseries #thewitches #thecitywatch #thewizards #death #greatatuin #industrialrevolution #discworldbooks #discworldnovels #discworldseries #discworld41 #worldofpoo #terrypratchettbooks #sirterrypratchett #discworldfan #terrypratchettfanpage #terrypratchettsdiscworld #mustread #aldiko #aldikobookreader #goodreads #pennedbooks #pennedplaces (at Changwon) https://www.instagram.com/p/COUCk4LDWi6/?igshid=pkkfn1iymxek

I admit it. I’m a total #fangirl. Its also been a family affair. It’s my moms fault I love @starwars, so much so my son is named after an integral part of the plot. My aunt introduced me to #hitchhikersguidetothegalaxy, which is the real reason why I’m obsessed with #42 and keep a towel in my car (swimming aside). My grandmother encouraged me reading #comicbooks as a kid (including the #creepshow horror ones that inspired @stephenking to write!), and never missed an episode of either #wonderwoman or the #hulk With me. I blame my dad for @bbcdoctorwho (4 will always be my doctor, then 9, 10 & 12. Jury is still out on 13) and @startrek next gen obsessions (including going to #trekkie cons together) plus the late great @terrypratchettfanpage. When I was in college, he and I read #goodomens together (thé 1st of many of our own personal book club selections, still the best). (Ps the adaptation is amazing). I’ve since added #sherlock & #jessicajones on my own to the list. Since my kiddo is now almost at the end of the years of being a captive audience, I’m trying to impart some of my fandoms onto him, with fair to middling success. We are both, along with my sister, looking forward to @siouxpercon this month, for different reasons, but excited that all our various likes can collide for at least a brief moment. https://www.instagram.com/p/B2EYN0ZDa-l/?igshid=2brn59fq39bo

#magicofstorytelling. So many books, so little time. When my husband and I were dating, he introduced me to #TerryPratchett and I have been in love (with him and with #Pratchett) since. #Reaperman was the first book we read, but #GoodOmens is a close second. Or is it #Hogfather. Or one of the #Discworld series? I CAN’T DECIDE! (<<<I said that like DEATH). #theview @theviewabc @meghanmccain @meghans_cactus @joyvbehar @huntsmanabby @hostins_hens @whoopigoldberg @magicofstorytelling @eric_embree @terrypratchettfanpage @neilhimself #neilgaiman https://www.instagram.com/p/Buxk8QJFr4S/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1d088k8g1w7uk

My dad & I used to have our own private #bookclub. It started with #goodomens back in the early 90’s. He was a @terrypratchettfanpage fanatic and I love @neilhimself. We went on to read a lot of other genres and authors in the intervening years, some better than others. I used to read to him when he was getting chemo, and then as he was in hospice I read him the original #jamesbond novels. Now that my son is older, I’m hoping to share some of my beloved books with him, like #stardust, #hitchhikersguidetothegalaxy and #screwtapeletters. He’s been sharing the #rangersapprentice series with me and I’ve really enjoyed it. Happy to carry on a few low tech traditions with him! #bookstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/B2xtetwDFx7/?igshid=silshmhay1hu
