Love Lethal Death Divine by Jelena Dunato.

A close up of a nicely illustrated young female knight looking sideways and holding a sword graces the cover. The cover is mostly reds and greens.

Thankyou, I do have a feeling part of Discworld's charm is in the collective over one particular story but I may be wrong.

I can already feel myself getting invested in Vimes and his story

I haven't yet no, as the wizards I've found to be the weakest part (for me personally) when introduced to Reaper Man for example.

Equal Rites I was advised to read Wyrd Sisters first...

I finished Guards! Guards!

Definitely the Discworld I enjoyed most of the 5.

I gave it a 4 star overall. Promising and gives me hope that maybe there'll be a discworld book out there I can give the full 5 to one day...

I was 10 when it first came out, feeling a bit old myself.

Watching it back, they don't look like 25 year old films. They look better visually than the Hobbit even.

Yeah, 25 years I believe :)

Since my son was born nearly 7 years ago, I've been looking forward to watching The Lord of the Rings together for the first time.

I didn't even know if he'd like it, but today we finished the trilogy & he loved it. May have had tears on my end numerous times πŸ˜…β€οΈ heart = full

Tonight, I begin my journey as a manager!

Alongside many other duties, I'll have 20 direct reports across 2 teams.

Any last minute advice?

We've played this every single day over Christmas! Massive hit in our household, fantastic game!!

"Can we play one more Hero Slam before bed?"

Maybe an expansion deck in time for next Christmas? πŸ‘€

Son's also asking if he can have a t-shirt with Barbarian, Lord Lionheart, or Wrestler on 🀣

I'm not sure what else to try but I feel like X and Bluesky are both stuttering a little in comparison to how lively the book community used to feel.

Any reading groups or discords you'd recommend?

My most precious individual book is this copy of The Witch's Heart by @gengornichec.bsky.social

Personalised and kindly sent across the Atlantic Ocean, it's one of my favourite stories but also barely anyone in the UK has this edition!

I will always treasure this book πŸ’™πŸ’›

Bought this for my 6 year old son for Christmas and we have had so much fun playing it!!

Fantastic game that only takes 15 mins or so, makes us laugh, addictive, brilliant cards.

Great artwork and game design from @jamiesmart.bsky.social

Especially recommend for fantasy fans!

I haven't yet got a bookshelf but the new house does have a shelf in the top of my wardrobe I've made use of for some of my favourite authors and special editions 😍⏳
