I'm here first, it seems. Hogfather. What an inspired story. And terrifying. In equal parts. There, that's me done as far as the book goes. What's next? You're not sulking, I hope?

I’ve been a bit tied up (not literally) so I’ve only really flicked through the book. I saw it on the telly though. Does that count? |

Probably. I was reluctant to reread it at all, because it's quite disturbing: more so than his others, I feel. Anyway, what was the tv one like? Spent the day trying to clear all my junk off the spare bed because my daughter's coming to stay (extended household/support bubble). You're not sulking, I hope?

I think the TV version might have been a bit lighter. David Jason. That’s all I remember. I’ve been knitting. |

Sorry I'm late! Had a family zoom that didn't finish until 7.30, then I had to make supper AND finish the last chapter of the book. I did both simultaneously, so here I am with supper to hand, and finished book. Smug mode.

M..Virn, thanks for the link to the TV version, which I've not yet watched, but will now that I've finished reading. It's almost impossible to translate Pratchett to screen, because so much is puns, wordplay, foot notes etc. But I'll be interested to see how well (or not) they've done.

The 8 candles are assembled, but not yet lit - waiting for hubby to get up (his sleep pattern is all over the place) - so that we can light together. He's not Jewish, but still joins in. Edited by Travisina on 17 December 2020 20:01:38 Twitter: @TravisinaB7
