Hogfather was a treat. Lots of fun to read, capped off with some really poignant moments and social commentary.
Death trying to be the Hogfather (Discworld's Father Christmas/Santa Claus) led to lots of amusing misunderstandings as well as insightful moments. Susan trying to figure out what's going on was a solid adventure which kept my attention the whole way through. The various bad guys were interesting and fairly well fleshed out.
The climax was 😙👌 and had some choice quotes, including "Humans need fantasy to be human. To be the place where the falling angel meets the rising ape." 👏
In this latest episode of I may have to grow older, but I don't have to grow up, the perfectly normal adult human adorns his backpack.
Naturally most of them are #Discworld pins
A lie can ACK around the World Wide Web before the truth has got its SYN on.
Chain-mail isn't much defence against an arrow. It certainly isn't when the arrow is being aimed between your eyes.

Today’s #OneGoodThing must be a multiple.
I travelled to Cambridge safely, ready for the conference After Section 28: LGBTQ+ Rights in an Age of Censorship and Backlash.
I went for a long walk to the river Cam, and ended up in a bookshop, where of course, I bought another #Discworld novel (Carpe Jugulum).
In 1997, I first moved to Cambridge - a lifetime ago, and stayed until 2000 after studying at Anglia Poly uni (now Anglia Ruskin).
I’m staying in a hotel near to where I used to work in a #Queer pub called the Five Bells. It’s been demolished 😭
