I wrote this on FB on Wednesday, December 9. I know I've really been neglecting LJ lately, but I wanted to post this here so those who aren't also on Facebook could know what I've been going through these last couple weeks. I'll post something of a followup-type nature soon, I imagine.

I don't really know where to begin, or end, or anything. I guess I'll just write until I think I've got it covered.
( this is really long... )

... to everyone's interpretation for my Unicorn Birthday Challenge!



I received everything from gorgeous images from teh InterWebs to scanned children's art to a copy of a Shel Silverstein poem to farting magic t-shirts to crocheted companions to hobby horses to Facebook gnomes and dragons to keep them company.

Y'all are the magic that makes my life amazing! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

The Discworld Graphic Novels: The Colour of Magic and The Light Fantastic by Terry Pratchett


My rating: 4 of 5 stars
When I started the Terry Pratchett Challenge, a couple of friends had warned me that his first couple Disc World books, while clever, were a little disjointed. However, I felt I needed some kind of grounding in Pratchett's world-building before jumping into the others in the series.

I think the graphic version of Colour of Magic and Light Fantastic did that for me. It established the make-up of Disc World and gave me the basic plot, as well as giving me a taste of Pratchett's cleverness.

The trouble is that it may be like seeing the movie before reading the book--my mental images are now influenced by the artist's interpretation.

Onward.

ReadingAdventures: Terry Pratchett 2010 Challenge

Again, I'm trying to make a concerted effort to write more and keep it positive. (What? It could happen?)

A fun little concept from a blog I've been reading is a Library Haul--to remind myself of the joy of libraries. Here's today's:
