GNU Sir Terry ❤️. The lilacs are blooming. Did someone remember the egg?

reply

We have a lilac festival where I live and it always reminds me of the 25th, unfortunately it was a few weeks ago

I had completely forgotten about the date.
And yet just last night I pulled it off my bookshelf to read again so perhaps I only thought I forgot.

antonia-wald.bsky.social•2 days ago

Uih. Maybe I can convince some friends here to order together (to share the annoying tax collection fee).

reply

owlycat.bsky.social•2 days ago

I bought it along with quite a bit of other stuff, too, for myself and a friend...She's a librarian and works at Unseen University...well, in a way. She works in Bielefeld 😅 So there was stuff to be had for her here too

reply

antonia-wald.bsky.social•2 days ago

I must admit they have some really lovely stuff. Might get some things as presents for friends too.

Damn! Damn! Damn! Every year I forget... Except this year. Gave my cohorts a particular scene with Vimes/the Particulars for a student-led seminar. They really loved it (although they felt they could've benefitted from a summary of events up to that scene—my bad).

reply

tomsydi.bsky.social•1 day ago

Should we ve celebrating the 25th, 26th, or both Rhianna?

reply

rhi.bsky.social•1 day ago

The 25th. But why not celebrate both 😁

When I was 8 I had been reading Piers Anthony and Robert Aspirin. My mom gave me the Bible and I made it to the begats before I gave it back to her. Saying with the contradiction and lousy characters they needed an editor and asked for something better written. She gave me The Colour of Magic.

reply

bugcatchersquee.bsky.social•1 day ago

Haha the begats will dissuade even the most fervent reader! (I loved Piers Anthony too!)

We planted lilacs this year. Hopefully will have blooms to wear next year.

#GNU Sir Terry. It's been said many times by many people, but your dad's books made life, for me, more bearable. To escape into the #Discworld was a blessing at times. I know those weren't the only books he wrote, but they were needed to keep me going through bad times.

reply

dreamingcrone.bsky.social•1 day ago

Seconded!

reply

prhiannon.bsky.social•1 day ago

I still reread them, for that reason.

I've just been reading Hat Full Of Sky to my granddaughter, with her mom and her auntie listening in, and all of them giggling at the antics of the Feegles.

I must have read it 5 times now. Reading your dad's books isn't a thing you just do once. It's an ongoing practice. At least, in our family.

Every time I read a Discworld book I notice something different.

I've only started reading the Discworld series. I'm almost at the end of Guards! Guards! I shall look forward to finding out what this is all about.

I'm so incredibly sad and devastated that Terry is no longer here. Every memory of him is like a stab in the heart. I miss him so unbearably. #GNUTerryPratchett

It's one of those authors that I really, really miss.
Every time I open a book he is still here. I miss him, but he's not gone.
