Good morning! In the SS where it says DISCWORLD READING BONUSES, that's extra points for reading any Discworld book?

Yes, it is!

And that reminds me that I wanted to add the ones already read on there, which I keep forgetting to do. So thanks for that!

You know, I think morris dancing may also be referenced at times when meant as a joke, so not necessarily people actually doing the dance. Potentially that means you could come across it unexpectedly in a book.

I remember coming across it but I cannot for the life of me remember which book it was..

Great, thanks Eldarwen!

Cool! Thanks :-)


Jackanory is definitely something were going to have a little think about at some point (since the first time I mentioned it, it got no reaction from the team - yes, I am looking at you guys!) but something funny/humourous might be cool.

I only know how to do ridiculous when it comes to stories haha.

I'm looking forward to when we start to get creative with Jackanory!
