    Ugh, beautiful. I love how well he captures the characters of Pratchett’s stories, such wonderful work. Makes me want to pick up those books again.

      I’ve finally worked myself up to read Shepherd’s Crown after numerous attempts but getting too emotional.

      Just finished Wee Free Men this morning and I was already a bubbling wreck at the end. It’s gonna be a rough, emotional ride.

        I still haven’t managed to get myself to read Shepherd’s crown, even though I bought it the day it came out.

          I came up a croppe once again. Just can’t face the fact of it finally being over!

          Started China Mieville’s Perditot Street station instead, which seems to be pretty good so far. I’ll try again maybe next year!

    Is that three eyed ear beak snake dragonfly thing something from the books? Doesn’t ring a bell.

      in case you mean the “thing” in the lower left corner of the second pic, that’s Errol, Lady Sybil’s pet swamp dragon. What looks like facetted eyes & an insect “trunk” in the slightly blurry pic is actually a snout with giant nostrils.
