Greetings and Salutations! 👋 I am OhMyDio, the current holder of the Discworld Quest, here to invite you to a cross-quest readalong!

The Color of Magic by Sir Terry Pratchett is what I like to call a Triple Threat. This delightful tome is on three quests: Discworld, Epic Sci-Fi & Fantasy, and Iconic Series. So we're gonna do a three way cross-quest readalong!

What is the Discworld? The Discworld is a flat planet on the backs of 4 elephants standing on a giant space turtle. It is a comedy fantasy series spanning 41 books, and the Color of Magic is the first book, although not the only entry point into the series. There are multiple series within Discworld, ranging from witches to city watch guards to Death himself. The Color of Magic is the first book published, and the first installment of the Rincewind novels.

What's The Color of Magic about? Rincewind, a very incompetent wizard, is hired as the tour guide for Twoflower, an insurance agent and the very first tourist on holiday to Ankh-Morpork, a town with a lavishly rich underbelly not entirely safe for people with as much disposable income as Twoflower. With an oddly intelligent and feisty luggage trunk in tow, Rincewind is tasked with keeping Twoflower safe from peril in the city.

The Deets: We'll start the first week of February and go through the end of March. If you need (or want) to start earlier or end later, please do! There currently is not specific functionality for buddy reads, and to accommodate different reading styles and timelines we won't set a specific reading schedule. Read at your own pace and join us in the forums as you are able! I'll endeavor to post at consistent intervals, and I hope you all will join in and together we can make the forum lively and robust!

I've cross-posted this to the other two Quest forums (after consulting those Quest owners) so I hope we'll get a large gaggle of folks together - and hopefully we'll all be able to connect with more Bounders who share similar book tastes!

If you have questions please let me know! Thanks for reading this far & I hope you can join us, either now or following behind at a later time.

Happy reading! 💕🎉
