In memory of Sir Pterry

Today I am in mourning, for today one of my favourite authors stepped out of this world and into the next (if you believe in that kind of thing). That author is Sir Terry Pratchett. He had struggled for eight years with alzheimers and finally it got the better of him.

I first discovered the Discworld close to 30 years ago, when desperately seeking something new to read in our tiny local library. I Read more of this blog post »

3.5 rounded up. An enjoyable and cozy read, although the heroine is very prickly and resentful - sometimes painfully so. Her constant push-back at everything good did get a bit frustrating at times, but also fit in with her tumultuous past. Clara hasn ...more

A fun read that slots into its own niche, and would probably be considered cozy-adjucent (there is quite a lot of swearing and detailed sex scenes). The vet related stuff is excellent - to my non vet-educated mind, it all sounded very convincing, and ...more

Great concept, but rather messy structure and the ending felt rushed. Would still read more though.
