I've never read any of the books but I loved the humor in both Discworld computer games.

Thew first two or three aren't wonderful but once he hits his stride, they are brilliant, witty and sometimes laugh-out-loud silly, almost Pythonesque,

I agree about the Terry Pratchett books being great fun, having only come to them a few years ago.

Meanwhile, a digital library tip: I only discovered Libby last year, and I have only just discovered that if you have a digital library card you can share it with someone else without problem, meaning that if your library does not have a digital title you want to borrow you can look elsewhere courtesy of any co-operative friend. This was actually suggested to me by staff at the LA public library which you can only join if you are a California resident and which (as you might expect) has a very extensive catalogue.

Currently becoming increasingly hooked on Jonathon King's Max Freeman series of thrillers, almost up there with Michael Connelly and occasionally even lyrical enough to call to mind James Lee Burke in an Everglades setting with historical references.

However, John Scalzi is still probably my main current addiction.

I have only just got around to reading The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman - great fun and a much broader canvas than I was expecting with some observations on the ageing process to tug at the heartstrings, both happy and sad ...

This morning I finished Water Moon, a wonderful fantasy by Samantha Sotto Yambao. On a back street in Tokyo, most people will find a cozy ramen shop when they walk through the door, but some will end up in a pawnshop, a place not to pawn objects but life choices and deepest regrets instead.

Hana, the pawnshop's new owner, wakes up to find the place trashed, a special choice stolen, and her father missing. A stranger stumbles into the shop while she's wondering what to do, and he offers to help her find her father. Thus they begin a journey through a mystical world with wonders and dangers unlike any the outsider ever imagined. The story has many surprising twists and turns, and the author's creative environments and characters make for a very satisfying reading experience.

Sounds good, LadyK! Your book synopses always make for great reading.

I really agree with Marian on both counts, LadyK! Tomorrow, I'll be starting a book called Un Lun Dun by China Mieville.

Our weekend paper had a particularly good selection of holiday reading recommendations which I am currently sampling, the Bryant and May detective series looking especially promising

Meanwhile LadyK's reference to Water Moon has prompted me to put that on my library waiting list!

I agree Lex, LadyK's summary of Water Moon has added a new book on my wish list!

Thank you, Marian!

Oldbroad,
I really like China Mieville's books. He has an off-center and often unexpected way of looking at things that appeals to me. I haven't read Un Lun Dun yet, so I'll be interested in what you think of it.

I'm nearly finished with Glass Houses, the 13th Gamache mystery by Louise Penny. She's my current addiction because her characters have become friends, and they keep calling to me to find out what happens next.
