Continuing stories. Some interesting, and many similar to others and unending.
Still more of a reference, read a few, break to read other books and repeat.

Definitely a paperweight book, pick up and read a few stories, then read other books.

Update, finished my favourite story so far, The case of Charles Dexter Ward. Great one that.
Taking a break before next batch.

Definitely a pick up, read a story or 2 and put down. Lots of interlinking stories but a bit much in one hit.
Up to At the Mountains of Madness

It's ok. Stories individually are good, but a while batch is a bit much.
Treating this as a pick up and read a story or few between other books.

Up to The Whisperer in Darkness.
So far so good. Horror of Dunwich long and atmospheric.
The cthulhu cult related stories are intriguing

Page 767 of 943 not 784!

525 of 943.
Interesting but lengthy tome. And only book 1 of 4...

The conclusion of Wings, the hilarious conclusion of the trilogy, but sister novel to Diggers. A kind of "wot I did on my Holidays" with some of the nomes concurrent to the events in Diggers.
Trip to Florida, meeting other nomes, space ships and more truth of nomekind in the novel and their return to Blackbury and what happened next...

End of Diggers.
The continued adventures of the nomes after leaving Arnold Bros store and moving to a quarry in the hills around Pratchett's favoured town of Blackbury (turns up a lot in short and early stories).
Having read this after Discworld novels I can see the foundation of some jokes and characters. Granny in this has elements of Ogg and Weatherwax. Good, strong female characters. Excellent reading.

Truckers complete. Definitely standard Pratchett humour and can see jokes and scenarios recycled in Discworld novels. Good fun though

Finishes up with a nursery version of Alice in Wonderland.
Original manuscript and Google digitisation.

Supposed version of Alice's adventures Underground, but not all there/readable in this format.

The hunting of the snark. A very silly, farcical poem.

End of through the looking glass. Tis sillier.

Alice in Wonderland finished. Tis silly

Slow start, a few activities, but mostly the life of a retired Assassin as the Holder of a Manor and the birth of a new daughter. somehow about 11 years have passed in the first 250 pages - and whilst Fitz has magic healing, no one seems to have really aged - bar Molly...

This is an updated version - barcode not recognised yet. Up to and including Rogue One
