Very soon my grandaughter will start to read them, she's a few years younger than your daughter but is a similar voracious reader. So many wonderful books she has ahead of her, I'm quite jealous. :-) And to return to Pratchett, the Night Watch books are my favourites, the first being Guards! Guards! You could do a lot worse than start there.<BR/><BR/>Rhinoa, I'm not up to date with the adult Pratchetts either and need to catch up. I have a feeling I'll be doing that this year. Not really a hardship... :-)Cathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06371069000185280668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-78362286846940654852008-04-02T15:23:00.000+01:002008-04-02T15:23:00.000+01:00This series is on my list for this year.

In fact, she's getting The Wee Free Men for her birthday next week...think I'll have to borrow it once she's finished :)Debihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15429881953804634592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-90608067707230279412008-03-29T10:51:00.000+00:002008-03-29T10:51:00.000+00:00orchidus: I would recommend the Night Watch 'Discw...orchidus: I would recommend the Night Watch 'Discworld' series by Pratchett. The first of those is Guards! Guards! and there are about five more. Those are wonderful and there are other excellent ones too such as Lords and Ladies, Carpe Jugulum, The Truth etc.Cathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06371069000185280668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-9198015669640729222008-03-28T20:12:00.000+00:002008-03-28T20:12:00.000+00:00Ah, I am glad you enjoyed it!

Now, you have me looking forward to reading more of Pratchett's books. :] I have only read <I>Going Postal</I>, <I>Small Gods</I>, and <I>Monstrous Regiment</I>. All of which were particularly exciting. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing! I would love to hear your thoughts on <I>A Hat Full of Sky</I>!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-91474094073681897062008-03-28T07:57:00.000+00:002008-03-28T07:57:00.000+00:00The nice thing about the Pratchett books, Pat, is ...The nice thing about the Pratchett books, Pat, is that they are available in hardback, and this particular series, being for children, has larger print. <BR/><BR/>Heavens, I haven't read Fruiting Bodies and Other Fungi by Brian Lumley in years. It's a *very* good horror anthology though. Perhaps I should reread it if Carl does another RIP challenge in the autumn? <BR/><BR/>I loved it, Darla. Soooo funny, and just an excellent story. I've already started A Hat Full of Sky and would love to carry on today but we have the grandson on Fridays so reading will have to wait until tonight. And, surprise, surprise... it's *raining*. <BR/><BR/>I didn't read any Pratchett until about five years ago, Carl. And as I'm now in my mid-fifties that means I resisted him for many, many years! I'll be curious to see which book you choose if you do get around to him.<BR/><BR/>I think this series will be a big favourite with me too, Nymeth. I'm even wondering if A Hat Full of Sky might be even more fun than The Wee Free Men.Cathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06371069000185280668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-19589325241535142652008-03-27T22:10:00.000+00:002008-03-27T22:10:00.000+00:00I'm glad you enjoyed this one so much.
