It seems like I keep recommending Wonder for about half of the categories anyone asks about. This book made my soul smile. Definitely a feel good story.
I’ve recently bought so many books, all of which I’m definitely going to read right away, but instead, today, I have picked up Terry Pratchett’s Witches Abroad to read in the sun, because it makes me smile, even though I’ve read it at least 10 times 🙂
Adding to my impossibly long reading list ?
I just read my first Pratchett because of a recommendation on here. Not sure what to think. Which book of his would you start with? I felt like I needed some background.
Which one did you read? The early ones are quite stand-alone, although reading A Colour of Magic will give you a good idea about Ankh Morpork (it’s the first one and introduces Rincewind the Wizard). The witch books are my favourite, of which Witches Abroad makes me smile the most, but I love the Death books too, the first one of these is Mort I think. Pyramids is a great stand alone book if you want just to try one without having to read the others first.
Oh and I just remembered The Last Continent, Interesting Times, Small Gods….just brilliant, cheery stuff, all of it 🙂
Now you’ve got.me staring at my Terry Pratchett bookshelf, I think I’m going to be here a while lol
@Lisa also just discovered Terry Prachett and after doing a little research read Color of Magic and some of his short stories. I love his writing!! Trying to decide on which one to read next!
Wyrd Sisters, Mort, or Pyramids I would suggest, they’re all quite early and a good introduction to the various themes.
I read Making Money. Thanks for your suggestions. Very helpful!
Making Money was quite a late one, I think it’d be helpful to read the earlier ones for background, plus I think the first few are funnier, they started getting a bit moralistic later on 🙂
Thanks again. It was….mostly enjoyable but I do look forward to earlier ones with more explanation of the world. And funnier is always welcome!
A Man Called Ove
This is Where I Leave You by Jonathan Tropper. It was made into a movie with Jane Fonda and Jason Bateman, but the book was much funnier.
The Miss Julia series, by Ann B. Ross. Fun with a touch of mystery. Marvelous characters. Good stories.
Thank you ladies ☺️ I’m going to add all of these to my kindle list ?
Anything by Sarah Addison Allen.
Agatha Raisin!
Janet Evanovich…… Stephanie Plum series
Laura Corogenes Molly Harper’s “Nice Girl’s” Vampire series. They are very funny. So are the books in Rhys Bowen’s “Royal Spyness” series. I love both. However, I recommend both in audio format. I’ve read them and listened to them and the narrators are perfect for both series, they add so much to the books.
