For any UK based comic book readers, Worst Man, the new graphic novel by Discworld Order podcast guests @brandtandstein.com , is out now. I'm looking forwards to getting my hands on a copy.

The cover of Worst Man by Ted Brandt & Ro Stein.
It features a bemused man sat on a rather large wedding cake. On his lap is a relaxed and confident red headed man in a red suit.

Do you need something to listen to while chilling out or doing household jobs? How about a Discworld podcast where Adrian Tchaikovsky discusses Terry Pratchett's Feet of Clay? Discworld Order episode 18 is found on all podcast apps & talks about World building and Artificial Intelligence.

Three books on a beige carpet:
The left book is black with the edge of a green planet in the top left corner. It is Adrian Tchaikovsly's Children of Time.
The middle book is the original hardback of Terry Pratchett's Feet of Clay. The top and botton thirds are dark green with large text. The middle third is a very busy Josh Kirby image.
The right book is Adrian Tchaikovsky's House of Open Wounds. Its a very busy cover with black, sliver greay and orange. One of the many images is a stegasaurus with a howdah on the back.

I've been very lucky to have a few published authors join me on Discworl Order. @jensugden.bsky.social , co creator of Victoriocity and co author of High Vaultage, talked about the 1st Discworld novel that she read: Maskerade.

Two paperback books on a slightly unkempt beige carpet (I probably need to find a better background ;) ).

On the left is High Vaultage by Chris & Jen Sugden. It's black with art deco electric blue & pink lines and mirrored images of a London sky line in the same colours.

On the right its Maskerade by Terry Pratchett. It is the original Josh Kirby cover and it contains multiple opera singers, an orchestra, a lot of fancy interior architecture, a witch and a very short man with a helmet and an axe. The lack of beard and context suggests that is Nobby Nobbs. This angle of the cover does not show the troll playing a tuba.

Great stuff. Of course, my favourite riff on the glass half full/half empty is this bit from Terry Pratchett's The Truth:

Reading a listicle on novels from the 2000's, and while it lists Night Watch as number 2, I'm baffled as to why it highlights Lord Winder as a "truly colourful character".

I just spotted the new UK Discworld paperback editions in the wild. I'm loving the silhouette on the spine.

A bookshelf in a book shop. All the books are covers forward. 3 of the books ar Terry Pratchett's Monstrous Regiment.

This batch of novels are a mix of authors who make me laugh in a fantasy/sci fi setting, although I havent read Perilous Times yet. They include Douglas Adams (sadly NOT the original copy I got one Xmas), Thomas D Lee, T. Kingfisher & Gabby Hutchinson Crouch.

Its the weekend, and over here its perfect weather for reading outside. Here are a few books that remind me of Discworld or Pratchett in one way or another: This batch of books by RJ Barker, Robert Jackson Bennett, James Alistair Henry and Chris & Jen Sugden are all fantasy crime mysteries.

Transworld donated 10,000 copies of Unseen Academicals. Which feels like a very deliberate choice as the book, at its heart, is about characters growing and becoming more successful by embracing new things or by reading.

An excerpt from a Facebook page for The Bookseller amagazine.
The geadline reads "Transworld donates 10k Terry Pratchett books to National Literery Trust".

The 10,000 books are copies of Unseen Academicals.

So I finally visited the Uffington White Horse after saying that Ive wanted to go for years. Its best seen from a bit further away, but I brought something as a bit of a context clue.

A photo of white chalk carvings on a green grass covered hill, underneath a blue sky with fluffy white clouds.
The carving is meant to be the image of a horse, but the angle doesn't make that very clear.
In the foreground is a UK hardback copy of Terry Pratchett's A Hat Full of Sky. A book that also features a white chalk horse carving on a hillside

If you're keeping up with the podcast, then you know what episode is coming out on Monday. If you don't, then this is a hint. Yes, this statue was in my hotel when I was on holiday. No, I did not know this when I booked the hotel.

A statue of a brown Golem with metal clasps holding together a large crack. The statue are at the top of a hotel stairwell. In the crook of the status's arm is a copy of Terry Pratchett's Feet of Clay. The book is in Czech and it is a paperback with rhe original Josh Kirby cover.

Coming up very soon, we were very lucky to chat with Jen Sugden, one of the writers of the Victorian Steampunk comedy novel "High Vaultage." Jen joined us to discuss Maskerade. Keep an eye out in the usual places for this one.

An image of a book cover with geometric shapes and a city skyline in baby blue and electric pink. The title is HIGH VAULTAGE and the authors are Chris Sugden and Jen Sugden.

One of my local antiques centres has a lot of second-hand books. It turns out that this includes almost an entire Discworld collection. I helped myself to 5 paperbacks just so that I can have every Josh Kirby cover for my collection to make it feel a bit more uniform.

5 paperback Terry Pratchett Discworld novels on a blue and green rug.
The novels are The Colour of Magic, Men At Arms, Soul Music, Maskerade, and Hogfather. All 5 novels have the Josh Kirby covers.

Just updated my Pratchett collection. Dodger & Nation will replace copies I loaned out. Night Watch is for the dust jacket, and I've never read A blink of the screen.

Getting ready for the Witches Abroad episode, and it's the first of two Pratchett Books that I got signed. Do YOU have any signed Pratchett books? Any memories from a Terry Pratchett signing?

While having a sort out, I stumbled across these Jolly Sailor trading cards, which came with the UK hardback release of Unseen Academicals. Does anyone else still have any of these, or any other Discworld knick knacks/memorabilia?

Three small "Jolly Sailor Tobacco" trading cards that were included in UK hardback copies of Terry Pratchett's Unseen Academicals.
The cards show Charlie the Skeleton, Rincewind, and The Librarian.

Have you seen or performed a Discworld play? If so, then let us know. The only one that I've see was this production of The Truth, from 15 years ago.
