Books I've Read

An old man and a boy try to figure out who is dumping toxic chemicals.

Interesting story of Eve who gets the number of a concentration camp victim tattooed for her fortieth birthday.

Collected shorter fiction. Some of it was OK, some pretty interesting, but the story titles The Sea And Little Fishes was exquisitely written, and I was very teary for a goodly portion of the story. And the "bonus" chapter, if not more so.

A young girl witch, Tiffany Aching, has a big battle. Very good.

Vampires are invited to the christening, as it were, of the royal baby in Lancre. Big mistake!

A London tosher rescues a beautiful girl from a beating at the hands scoundrels. Not a Discworld book.

Golems are holding secret meetings.

A dragon comes to Ankh-Morpork, and Vimes has to deal with it. Also, Carrot joins the force. Vimes has his hands full.

The fourth Tiffany Aching novel is the best story I have read in a long time. So much to think about! I found myself weeping at times, and laughing out loud at others.

Ankh-Morpork goes to war over an island.

Johnny finds he is the only person who can see dead people at the cemtary. Very good.

Elves come to Lancre. And Elves are BAD! Very good!

Moist is maneuvered into assisting the dog that is chairman of the Royal Bank.

The two witches visit the Opera House in Ankh-Morpork where Agnes is attempting to be a star!

Polly joins the army in disguise as a man. Very good.

On a small island not in the Pacific Ocean a tsunami wipes out the entire population, except for one teen and shipwrecked English girl. Very good!

Sam Vines goes back in time(s).

Johnny find his computer game is all too real!

Teppic, a king's son, decides to attend Assassin school. That's the first part of the book. I wasn't thoroughly enchanted with the story, but there were some good parts. I wish my eyes didn't get tired of read paperback-size books.

The author has Teppic using crampons to climb walls. I've seen this discussed about another author, and someone on a forum said they looked in the OED to find that crampon was an archaic word for a sort of piton. Maybe. I think Prachett should have gone with piton.

The railroad comes to the Discworld. I got an ARC to read four weeks before it goes on sale! I enjoyed it very much, too!
