    Currently reading: Mort (Terry Pratchett) - fantasy/comedy. The story of Death taking on an apprentice. I’m enjoying it so far and would recommend. I’m a later arriver to the Discworld novels. People have been recommending Pratchett to me for years but I made the mistake of trying to read Discworld in release order (which I later realised isn’t at all necessary) and really struggled to get into The Colour of Magic on previous occasions. Finally clicked with it earlier this year and then started moving onto other novels based on recommended reading lists.

    Currently listening to: Star Wars: Ahsoka (E K Johnston) - space-fantasy/sci-fi (let’s not get started on the debate about what genre Star Wars is…). I’m not far in but I’m a big Star Wars fan and Ahsoka Tano is one of my favourite characters, so I’m excited to see how it goes. Also the audiobook is narrated by Ashley Eckstein (voice of Ahsoka on Clone Wars and Rebels).

      Pratchett did a collaboration with Steven Baxter called The Long Earth that was kind of interesting. I don’t think the characters were super memorable, but I found the premise and the ways they explored it really compelling.
