i have figured out how i want to post on here!

the summer before seventh grade, i went to the library every week, checked out upwards of 15 books, read them all, and wrote down every title on taped-together sheets of lined paper. i kind of miss those days.

and i've been reading a lot lately because i've been out of a job.

so this is where i'm going to keep track of all the books i read :D

and i've just finished Men at Arms! i've learned that i like discworld a LOT. i have already read going postal, making money, and guards guards over the past 2 months of unemployment purgatory. (other books i've read in this time frame include the thief and the sword of summer, as well as good omens as previously scribbled about on my profile.) men at arms is good. corporal carrot is one of the guys ever (affectionate), and terry pratchett has this way of writing female characters that is so delightful to me. like they're all so weird and strong-willed. i also love the cuddy-detritus friendship.

the things i stick on here will not be book reviews per se, just some thoughts, not well assembled. i liked this one :)

I read a bunch of discworld books back in middle school, but i barely remember anything about them other than thinking they were good. Out of the ones you've read, which is your favorite?

going postal!! i think it was the best possible place for me to start, the narrator is a disaster and a thief and in his 20s and the plot just kind of happens At Him and he throws his ideas at a wall and all of them manage to stick. it's delightful.

oh that does sound wonderful, i'll see if my library has it!
