So what did you think of your first Discworld novel? Did you like DEATH? :-D"

It was ok, it was a LOT of fantasy for me but I can see the appeal with the world-building and unique characters. DEATH was the best :)

Yes!! This one covered some tricky tasks too, I'll let the Captains decide where they want to place it :).

One book counts for one task and that same book can also be used for Bingo and/or Jackanory? Or is it one or the other?

Eldarwen wrote: "Haha, no it isn't awful, but keep an open mind, and remember that other books are ever so slightly better ;-)

You do get a good sense of what the Discworld is like and Pratchett's writing style an..."

I'll give it a shot, if I don't like it I'll jump to the next one. I have low expectations but I'm glad to hear it's not awful, lol.

Cool!

Are you going with the May BOM or a different one?"

I was thinking of what you suggested above, I kinda like reading in order (unless the first book is AWFUL) so I'll grab The Color of Magic first and then join the May BOM for Equal Rites. That's the plan so far...

I think I'll be reading my first Discworld book soon too!

Hello teamies, checking in! Here's my shelf:

I had a really good time with this challenge, you guys were great teamies, and thanks to the captains for an awesome job with all tasks! I hope we meet again soon in another challenge :-).

Your driving story made me laugh, I can relate, driving and parking in Madrid is crazy too.
