YA Buddy Readers' Corner ♥ discussion

IT'S THE NIGHT BEFORE HOGSWATCH AND IT'S TOO QUIET.

Where is the big jolly fat man? Why is Death creeping down chimneys and trying to say Ho Ho Ho? The darkest night of the year is getting a lot darker...

Susan the gothic governess has got to sort it out by morning, otherwise there won't be a morning. Ever again...

The 20th Discworld novel is a festive feast of darkness and Death (but with jolly robins and tinsel too).

As they say: You'd better watch out...

You are welcome to join me and Elizabeth! :)

YAY, so excited!

Me too!!!! *_*

It's the time! HO HO HO!

page 64 (about 17%) (view spoiler)[OMG this is awsome! I love the way in wich Pratchett begin all his book... :) and I think that Mr. Teatime is quite a character! He's really intersting, but, in the end, all Pratchett's characters are intersting! And the raven! I love him! An there's a toy for Captain Carrot! How howsome is this?? (hide spoiler)]

page 109 (about 30%) (view spoiler)[I am sorry that I can't read more, but I do not have much time in this period, but in a way I am happy because I can enjoy it better. It's not strange?
All the times that I read about the raven I think about the illustrations by Sebastien Millon, like this one:

I love them! And I love the footnote. They are hilarious! (hide spoiler)]

I'm reading this one aloud to my husband, so it's going to take me a bit longer to get through--hope that's okay!

Really? It's sooo sweet of you! ^_^ It's not a problem! There is no hurry (and I do not have too much time to read in this period so I am slow too).

page 224 (about 63%) (view spoiler)[ The oh god is an awsome idea! I love it. And I'd really like to underline all the book because almost every sentence is brilliant or is funny or is pure genious or is witty or is all of those together! (hide spoiler)]

Oh my goodness, right?! (view spoiler)[I ADOOOOORE the raven and the Death of Rats. Death has always been my favorite Pratchett character, though--Pratchett was the FIRST author I ever read with Death as an MC, so I have a soft spot for his version. Also, his version is amusing. However...WHY!?!?! is Death parading around pretending to be the Hogfather? What exactly is THAT going to accomplish? He says the Hogfather is dead, so...is getting children to believe in him again going to bring him back from the dead? (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[Pratchett was the first autor for mee, too, I ever read with Death as MC, so maybe I have a soft spot for him, too. I found him awsome *_* I do not know if is my favourite character, because I can't choose between him and the Captain of the Watcher, and the Bibliotecarian! (hide spoiler)]

finished (view spoiler)[I really love it. I loved the character (I am satisfied by how the things end with Mr. Teatime, but I would have like to see more of him. He really was intersting.) and I loved the story. It was so original, and I found that Death is really sweet, in his own ways :)
I like Susan, too. And the Tooth's Fairy'story was really good! I loved it, too! (hide spoiler)]
