Discworld Readathon Month 8 – Guards! Guards!

Okay, sure, I still haven't put up a review for Wyrd Sisters. And sure, I'm still only halfway through Pyramids. But I'm actually putting up an announcement post at the start of the month for once, and you know what? I'm pretty dang proud of that. Baby steps, folks. Bb:D And this month we're tackling …

Update (I’m Back!) and Discworld Month 6 (Better Late than Never…?)

Happy Holidays, everyone! I'm back from my unannounced hiatus! Incidentally, I'm a broken record. November and December are generally not great months for me (one of the million things they don't tell you as a kid is how the holidays can go from the Most Wonderful Time of the Year to Time of Dread as …

Discworld Readathon Month 5 – Sourcery

Hey all! So some not-great things came up and my blogging/reading has suffered as a result (which is why it's taking me forever to get to comments). More about that in my wrap-up, but in the meantime, let's get to Discworld! We're now 5 months into the Discworld Readathon that Nicole and I started up and …

Happy Canadian Thanksgiving! Things are super hectic and I'm just a tad sleep-deprived, but I'm still here to give your monthly reminder that hey, we're doing a Discworld Readathon!

Discworld Readathon Month 3 – Equal Rites (Witches 1)

  Because I have ZERO concept of time and think "fashionably late" means arriving when the rest of the guests are just leaving (tip: if you ever invite me to a party, lie and say that it starts two hours before the actual start time), I'm writing this announcement post a week late. *Long sigh* …

Discworld Readathon: Month 2 | Another Mini Update

Hey, guys! First of all, just a quick update on why I haven't been posting lately: the past several weeks have been rather grim for me mental-health wise and I've pretty much dropped every ball I've been holding. So I'm both behind on writing reviews and have a backlog of reviews to post (which is …
