Tiffany Aching is a trainee witch — now working for the seriously scary Miss Treason. But when Tiffany witnesses the Dark Dance — the crossover from summer to winter — she does what no one has ever done before and leaps into the dance. Into the oldest story there ever is. And draws the attention of the Wintersmith himself. As Tiffany-shaped snowflakes hammer down on the land, can Tiffany deal with the consequences of her actions? Even with the help of Granny Weatherwax and the Nac Mac Feegle — the fightin’, thievin’ pictsies who are prepared to lay down their lives for their “big wee hag.”
"You couldn't even say precisely what they did, although Miss Tick thought they were a way of finding out what things the hidden bits of your own mind somehow knew. You had to make a shamble from scratch every time, and only from things in your pockets. "--Wintersmith by Terry Pratchett
Comments: This is the only book I have on my shelf by Terry Pratchett, and I look forward to giving it a try. What are you planning to read this weekend?

  1. I don't think I've ever read anything by Pratchett. I've tried but keep bouncing off the text - reading a page and not remembering what I've read. This week my book is Silver on the Road by Laura Anne Gilman. Happy reading!

    1. I did enjoy Wintersmith, so I'm curious to see the beginning of Tiffany Aching's story arc, which is part of Pratchett's Discworld series. Thanks for stopping by, enjoy your weekend! :-)
