  • Thank You!

    I'm a total newbie here, only joined yesterday, but I just wanted to say a huge THANK YOU! This is exactly the cosy, welcoming, joyful space that I have been seeking. I used to be a voracious reader but then in my late 30's I returned to University and was balancing full-time work with part-time study. I felt guilty anytime I tried to read for pleasure as I had so much reading to do for my course. Earlier this year I decided to take some time out of studying and I hoped to fall back in love with reading for the fun of it. Twelve months and twelve books later I have been well and truly bitten by the reading bug again and then I stumbled into this beautiful place full of kindred spirits! I can't wait to start planning my reading for 2026!

  • Newbie!

    Okay, I’m struggling with where to start. It seems like there are multiple series? Can you tell me what book to start with? I’m a newbie to discworld but trying to get into it!

  • New Quest Holder, who dis?

    Hi folks! I was lucky enough to recently be handed the reigns for this quest so just wanted to drop a quick little note so you know who I am!

    I am still pretty new to the books, although not new to Pratchett or the world at large. I haven't even bronze badged yet, but it is one of my top priorities of 2026 to silver, or maybe even gold this quest! I read a lot of non-fiction (nature, memoir, political/cultural analysis, cool animal facts, etc. etc.) but also love fantasy, scifi, graphic novels, and much much more. My primary hobbies besides reading are playing video and board games, crochet, and cooking. I use she/her pronouns and you can call me OMD or Dio or Hey, Lady.

    Since this is a finished world there aren't new books to add, so instead my role will just be to encourage, support, and maybe run a few readalongs. 🙂

    I would love to hear from all of you; an updated roll call so to speak. Let us know you're here, what you love about Discworld, how far you are into the series, what reading plans you have for 2026, and anything else you'd like us to know. 🙂

    Thanks for being here!!

    I have read this book twice now, both times I the run up to Christmas, and I have immensely enjoyed it both times. I'm an archaeologist and folklorist so the weaving together of Winter traditions from across Europe is fascinating and although we have no evidence to prove as such, there are snippets of similarities hidden in the depths of these traditions which suggest that there may be shared pre-Christian origins. The author's style is funny, engaging and I love that they went and experienced these traditions as part of their research. I will undoubtedly read this again next Winter!

    Thoughts from 30% (page 106)

    I'm reading The Dark is Rising for my first Midwinter readalong! Not quite keeping to the schedule of a chapter a day as Christmas is a busy time of year but enjoying the book when I can.
