Books to distract me from “my daughter is moving out” sadness. I’m rereading the #Discworld series this year, and

the audiobook of The Light Fantastic was the perfect choice to keep me company on the trip yesterday. Book 2 in the series continues the story of Rincewind, the kind of crap wizard with a single spell trapped in his head, and Twoflower, the Disc’s first tourist with his sapient pear wood luggage.

I’d been meaning to listen to the BBC4 radio recording of @neilhimself’s The Sleeper and the Spindle since it was first aired on Boxing Day, but had forgotten until Neil posted yesterday that it was only available for a few more hours, so listened to it last night before bed, and oh my goodness what a wonderful production it was. I pulled the book off my shelf this morning to reread it, and immerse myself in the stunning illustrations. Two very different books, but two wonderful texts to revisit on a bittersweet long weekend
