March Magics 2023 Begins

It's March 1st, time to start reading Terry Pratchett and Diana Wynne Jones!  This is the year to celebrate all of the good things, be they Chrestomanci, Howl, or Tiffany Aching. I can't even imagine my reading life without these two stellar authors. They have comforted me, distracted me, amused me, and brought me to tears. And I have yet to read a book by either one that I wouldn't be willing to read again and again. (And seeing how my final new DWJ is below, I think I'm pretty safe.)


I have these first time reads ahead of me and will probably start with The Fifth Elephant because you can never go wrong spending time with Vimes and The Watch. I'll fill in the rest of my DWJ reading with whatever I'm in the mood for as the month goes on.

I am not using Twitter at the moment so come find me on Instagram or Mastodon or leave your links on this post ... and remember to use the #MarchMagics hashtag wherever you post!

  1. Hurray! March Magics is here! What a lovely stack. Crown of Dalemark is on my list as well and I hope you enjoy it. Vimes is always a good choice. My plans are in this blog post. :) https://thepagedreamer.wordpress.com/2023/03/01/march-magics-2023/

    1. The Fifth Elephant turned out to be one of my favorite of all of the Discworlds I've read so far! Yay!

  2. This is a perfect description: "They have comforted me, distracted me, amused me, and brought me to tears. And I have yet to read a book by either one that I wouldn't be willing to read again and again." Hear hear! I know we will all continue to celebrate the magic of these authors long into the future. Enjoy all your reading! I'm sampling some short stories while I try to decide what novel(s) to dig into.

    1. Thank you, Lory! I'm finishing up Rob Wilkins' biography of Terry right now and boy is it getting very heart-wrenching toward the end.
