Maybe. If the mood strikes.

Wish I had heard about it. Sorry, I missed it.If anyone is free and interested, JA Rama, Dammy, and I are gonna be streaming our first meeting of a Discworld book club at 5 EST (45 minutes). We've read the first 30ish pages of Guards! Guards! (some books it's 33, some 37, up to the words "Bloody hellfire."). If you want to join in on the Discord for future club stuff, that's here, and if you just want to watch and chat on Twitch, that's here. Both are hosted by my friend Scott/Ax, who came up with the idea for the club with me during a twitter fanboy/girl-out.
You've had a stressful couple weeks. Truly sorry.Also, wrestling with a MS that was about to be released but there were some potential fair use/copyright issues so co-author and I are redoing a few things just to be sure. And, I think I have a rather widespread ringworm outbreak which is disgusting and disheartening. (And means a trip to the doctor's office on Monday to get it checked out and probably a RX written. Blech.
Everything else is still pretty stressful, but I am still putting one foot in front of the other right now. And I ate a bunch of corned beef and potato for dinner so my tummy is happy. (Still trying to figure out how to lose these extra pounds, but one thing at a time, I guess.)
You mean this book? *thumbs through pages*ION, I'm very bummed because I found this book that came out last year that I really really want to read, only the author doesn't seem to have an E version available and the paperback is $15. Um. I love supporting fellow authors, but um. And also I want my greedy hands on it "now" even though I'm not going to read it until my road trip with hubby. Sigh. I may ping her online to see if I'm missing it somewhere obvious.
Now to decide on another movie to watch. Just finished Wind River. Thumbs up.
Poke at him, please.Said friend was in the UK...I don't know where he got his. But if you poke around their site(s) you might find more international dealers.
That's one vote for genocide! Any other bidders?Angst and woe! Angst and woe!
I've been thinking over one of my own characters' angst, specifically in trying not to make her life situation too cheesy. Today I've been pondering how a returning character is handling the mantle of being proclaimed as the absolute greatest individual of his people currently alive. (And whether or not something bad happens to them. I've got ideas for that, but do I want them removed from the story...and if so, when?)
Thank you! I can hear what they mean by gurdy-ized.I can play (barely) the Irish pennywhistle and the bowed psaltery. I did find a video for the latter that says it's 'hurdy-gurdy-ized' playing, just for you

Hope you all had a good St. Paddy's day. Husband (who's half Irish) made green mashed potatoes and green drinks (vodka + sprite + food colouring). We didn't want to go out yesterday... going out on St. Paddy's is like going out during The Purge.
Sad I missed this! I'll try to catch the next one!
Does everyone in the Discord have to read along, or can it just be for people who love Pratchett and want to hang out?
The second one. It's nice if everyone can read along, but we also understand not everyone has all the books of will be able to get them. There's a section just for hanging out and talking.
I'd like to join as well!! (the Luddite knows SQUAT about the Discord...)Awesome! I'll totally join then
Edit: it looks like the Discord link has expired

Oh, let me get a new link.

I also finished up my own Discord channel, invite link in my siggy. Hoping to see some folks there
All the Zanz.But a top hat and monacle is my normal universe attire...
(Not really, though now that I think about it, I'm not entirely sure why not.)
Sorry I've been very lurky lately, everyone. A rough few months here and a bit too much winter, and I ran out of spoons hard. Working my way back up out of it.
Excellent pic. Leprechauns usually aren't so handy with cameras.
