For a witch stands on the very edge of everything, between the light and the dark, between life and death, making choices, making decisions so that others may pretend no decisions have even been needed. Sometimes they need to help some poor soul through the final hours, help them to find the door, not to get lost in the dark.

The poll spoke and I listened: I now also ship to the UK and (even though it's really expensive) to Canada!
For the occasion, I looked for the most British photo possible and I couldn't find anything better than Tiffany Aching, one of my favorite Pratchett characters, in the rain. Yes, it's a cliché, and no, I'm not ashamed. :)EN website here: https://www.inkdustrielle.fr/en

Help! My library has two versions of #audiobook for the #terryPratchett novel The Wee Free Men (first #TiffanyAching book, or so I understand). Both say they’re unabridged but one is two hours longer than the other. I guess the longer one has a full cast but it blows my mind that that would add and entirely two hours. Which one should I get? #bookstodon

My roommate asked me to do a guest spot in his #DnD campaign as a Nac Mac Feegle, from the #TerryPratchett book the Wee Free Men, so I reread the book for the first time since middle school. Not sure if anyone else has read it and remembers it, but the main character is a very ordinary girl, aside from the fact she thinks more than she feels, she asks exacting questions when other folks just want the vagueries.
"Yes! I’m me! I am careful and logical and I look up things I don’t understand! When I hear people use the wrong words, I get edgy! I am good with cheese. I read books fast! I think! And I always have a piece of string! That’s the kind of person I am!"
And when she does feel... she feels everything. The climax of the book had her tapping into a level of sensory awareness that she realized she would need to block out to maintain going about her life.
She was oft accused of being selfish, and her taking on the mantle of her duty was her recognizing that yes, she was selfish. Everything in her world was hers, and when something is yours you have an obligation to it:
“Protect them! Save them! Bring them into the sheepfold! Walk the gale for them! Keep away the wolf! My dreams! My brother! My family! My land! My world! How dare you try to take these things, because they are mine! I have a duty!”
Tiffany Aching is frequently described as a hero written for ordinary girls, by which they mean the ones who will never be drop-dead gorgeous and/or astrophysicists, the girls who will need to get through life with common sense and resourcefulness... But the only folks I've known in my day-to-day with that level of Hag to them have never been ordinary, or at least we are the ones painted by the world as "divergent." And of course, as much as all the talk around the book describes Tiffany as a "normal girl," in universe, she isn't. All of these things set her apart. She's a witch. And while things do go all right for Tiffany, others accused of witchiness in this world find themselves ostracized, and shunned, and left to die in the elements.
Pratchett thinks he wrote a hero for normal girls, but I think he missed the mark by fair bit, and it's not a bad thing. I think he wrote a hero for the kind of kid I was.

I'm on a re-read of all the #Discworld novels in (hopefully) published order. I finished "A Hat Full Of Sky" yesterday, the second #TiffanyAching book.
In Tiffany, Terry has found a new character and setting with lots of potential. Tiffany is an extraordinarily powerful witch, capable of some amazing things... sometimes. But she frequently doesn't know how she did it, and she's still very young. This makes her perfect for a whole coming-of-age arc of novels, of which this is the second.
In this one, Tiffany goes up to Lancre to be an apprentice witch in the ways that, well, the Lancre witches have always done it. This is because there are no other witched on The Chalk where Tiffany's family lives. And, of course, Granny Weatherwax is an important part of this.
This is the second time Terry has written a story around a young witch with a lot of power. The previous one was "Equal Rites" but despite Granny Weatherwax's attempts, Esk was really a wizard, which is both wildly and subtly different to witchcraft on the Discworld.
I'm not completely comfortable with how gendered the magic is on the Discworld, although Terry made an effort in "Equal Rites" to show that it may be more in practice than actuality.
But that's not the point of "A Hat Full Of Sky". Tiffany is having to grow up fast, but that's not unexpected for someone as bright as she is. And she doesn't (mostly) act all precocious about it because she's smarter than that.
It *is* good to see a whole new dimension to witchy-life in and around Lancre. For many books, witches seemed very thin on the ground. Terry now has the experience to counter that.
Next book is "Going Postal" where we see Terry create another new character!

I don't want a grimdark Smurfs, but I would buy an entire console to be able to play a Nac Mac Feegle tactical mission game
It would be a combination of Katamari Damacy, the Smurfs, and Braveheart and now that I've thought about it I'm obsessed

"It’s the White Horse," said Tiffany.
"Why do they call it that?" said Miss Tick.
Tiffany looked at her.
"Because the chalk is white?" she said, trying not to suggest that Miss Tick was being a bit dense.
"No, I meant why do they call it a horse? It doesn’t look like a horse. It’s just... flowing lines..."
*that look as if they’re moving*, Tiffany thought.
"’Ain't what a horse looks like," said Tiffany. "It’s what a horse be."

Random #caturday fact, Tiffie is actually named after Tiffany Aching, who is one of my all time favourite characters from the Discworld books, and the name also turned out quite fitting too.
Art is by Paul Kidby for the book cover of 'The Shepherd's Crown'.

@fringemagnet Exciting!
Tiffany’s a big deal in my family (as illustrated by my daughter’s Halloween costume choice a few years ago). I’ll get a copy as soon as it’s available!

No more info on this beyond the announcement, but it features both Tiffany Aching and more art by Paul Kidby, so I'm automatically here for it.

Might have gone a little overboard marking up my copy of I Shall Wear Midnight for the next episode of @Pratchat, #Pratchat66. But then again there’s something great on every page…
(You have one day to send in your questions, if you’ve got any left!)

@vicorva
ah, yes, that's true :) I guess I meant the last in the #MoistVonLipwig / #TheWatch series.
I have yet to read his #TiffanyAching series.I got kinda stuck on one of the Witches books, and as a result kinda got out of reading regularly.
Reading tends to be something I do periodically in spurts, rather than continuously.
I'm sure I'll feel the urge again soon now that days are growing shorter very quickly again... -

@kirch
I myself started with live-action two-part films #TheColourOfMagic and #GoingPostal followed by all the #DeathNovels of the #Discworld series, followed by the #Rincewind series.Currently alternating between #TheWatch and #IndustrialRevolution series.
Once I'm done with those, I'll prob pick up the #WitchesNovels and #TiffanyAching series, and alternate between them.
Animations of #SoulMusic & #WyrdSisters, and live-action #Hogfather are worth watching too.
