Look at this cover! A three-eyed cat! A woman who looks like the Lady! A man that has to be Croaker! A pair of kids, one demonic, the other -- sort of nice, if you're into that sort, and whatnot. It's dark, it's stylish, it's of great quality! Do the job! Get paid! Survive! I'm... Continue Reading →
Book Recommendations: Moving Pictures (Discworld #11)
After Sir Terry Pratchett passed away, I thought to honour him by exploring his Discworld in a chronological order. Moving Pictures was where my ten-book long Discworld reading spree came to an abrupt end, sometime in 2015--or was it 2016?--I really wish I'd recalled.
