Terry Pratchett in a blue jacket and Akubra hat holding a young owl for release.

Eleven years since you crossed the black sands. I wish I could say that the world is better than you left it (although it will always be better for having had you in it) but at least there is a new Young Sam to help carry on the Pratchett name and ethos. Love you always ❤️

bonus Discworld QOTD, from The Shepherd's Crown

"FOR I CAN SEE THE BALANCE AND YOU HAVE LEFT THE WORLD MUCH BETTER THAN YOU FOUND IT, AND IF YOU ASK ME, said Death, NOBODY COULD DO ANY BETTER THAN THAT…"

Discworld QOTD, from Men at Arms

"Carrot often struck people as simple. And he was.

Where people went wrong was thinking that simple meant the same thing as stupid."

My apologies! I’m based in NY and Portugal and publish for the UK market too, but I’m not based in the Ireland or the UK.

WHAT IF YOU JUST READ A FUCKING BOOK

Wow, amazing stories from amazing women! Thank you for bringing their experience and ground-breaking contributions to light when history so often loves to erase women’s achievements.

As they rest partway up the path, Frodo and Sam see a red flash in the east, lightning from Minas Morgul below, then an army marching out behind the Lord of Morgul—who unexpectedly pauses at the bridge and looks about. Frodo grasps Galadriel’s phial, and the Wraith-king rides on.

Looks great!
