@bitboxer this looks super cool, will check if any bookstores from India have their inventory up and accessible on the web.

Challenger by Adam Higginbotham is pretty good so far. He wrote Chernobyl at Midnight as well which is great. The fantastic thing is that he’s not going out of his way to make the original Apollo astronauts look like super heros. He goes into a whole chapter about the inherent prejudice of a lot of those guys during that time when it came to women and minorities wanting to be in the program. I like the balanced view. #books #booksdoton

Ive Finished: Maskerade by Terry Pratchett

Maskerade is one of the top Discworld witches novels. With Nannie and Grannie going to Ankh-Morpork, Nannie's cook book, the Opera and Agnes's coming of age story.

This reread was of the new Penguin audiobook edition.

Indira Varma's Grannie and Nannie where very good. But yet again I prefer the less subtle performance of Stephen Briggs. Walter Plinge, Enriko Basilica and others are stereotypes and are better suited for an overt performance.

Edit:

Correction, it has been brought to my attention that the original audio edition I referred to was narrated by Nigel Planer.

Maskerade by Terry Pratchett

The Opera House in Ankh-Morpork is home to music, theatrics and a harmless masked Ghost who lurks...
