Slowly building up my collection of hard back Terry Pratchett books. My favourite ones follow the witches or the nights watch. I have a special place in my heart for Granny Weatherwax.

I recommend reading this too. It’s from the perspective of the woman in 1984 and gives an interesting perspective on how this author sees the role of women in the world Orwell created

I’m not 100% sure this book is my sense of humour. I’m nearly finished with it, there are moments that almost make it read like a thriller told from the villains pov.

Set my reading goal to 50 books this year. Of the 8 I’ve read at least 5 were ones I’d started last year and finished. (I tend to read more than one book at once and switch between them) #booksky 📚 #bookcommunity #storygraph #readinggoals

Current read: Sea of Rust
Sea of Rust is set in a dystopian world in which AI and robots are all that is left after a revolution and the robots have now turned on themselves to survive.
QOTD: I feel like this might be a controversial question but what are your opinions on AI?
