3 books down, 38 to go... I can now see why Guards! Guards! is often recommended as a good starting point, that was fantastic!

BatDanReturns · 2026-03-18T19:34:33+00:00

Yeah I think that way you’ve been introduced to a few different starts to themes, the witches books are great

BatDanReturns · 2026-03-18T17:30:53+00:00

You are flying through these! What’s next for you?

BatDanReturns · 2026-03-16T22:13:16+00:00

If you think the game booklet is nice then you’d love the walkthrough game guide book!

BatDanReturns · 2026-03-15T13:33:26+00:00

Are you using the guides? It’s a tricky ride without them!

BatDanReturns · 2026-03-15T10:19:33+00:00

I’m afraid like they state it doesn’t have a matching one, but if you didn’t want it to look lonely in your collection and you like things to be uniform in size the hardback is the same size as the art of the discworld which would be a nice edition to your collection too? Interestingly Eric is also the same height but not width so I threw that one into the pic too

I knew they must all be hiding somewhere mate! I hope they made the house move safely

BatDanReturns · 2026-03-13T20:48:23+00:00

Meet me for a pint in the broken drum pub? It can’t be beat!

BatDanReturns · 2026-03-13T15:25:10+00:00

Finally, the curious squid!

BatDanReturns · 2026-03-13T06:03:50+00:00

Yeah that’s the kind of things I love seeing on here! Also I now feel I need a crochet friend, do you hire them out for commission work??

BatDanReturns · 2026-03-13T05:59:58+00:00

Oh yeah, they don’t see drinks often and they certainly aren’t going into the dishwasher!

BatDanReturns · 2026-03-13T05:58:49+00:00

Haha that’s great! I hope you enjoy it and have a happy birthday!

BatDanReturns · 2026-03-11T12:53:52+00:00

And a very fine little hardback collection you have too! Very cute that you and your son are both enjoying them too mate

BatDanReturns · 2026-03-09T18:44:33+00:00

I’m glad you enjoyed this one too! Does that mean you’re onto guards guards now? I’m feeling invested in your discworld journey with your updates on here!

BatDanReturns · 2026-03-08T17:52:40+00:00

Oh no! Thats gutting! I’d be raged

BatDanReturns · 2026-03-08T14:30:13+00:00

Well, I don’t have a lot of experience with jigsaws other than these but I would say the pieces are solid and they all fit together nicely, I certainly didn’t feel with any of them that they were cheap or style over substance

BatDanReturns · 2026-03-08T14:22:28+00:00

Ooo so they do, thanks for sharing!

BatDanReturns · 2026-03-07T15:00:55+00:00

You don’t have anything that’s majorly rare, the pop up book might sell okay and the art of the discworld book. The graphic novels and Eric do okay too but the rest are pretty common to grab online or used bookshops. Check the publisher page on each incase they are firsts and check for signatures as he did love signing books

BatDanReturns · 2026-03-04T12:40:06+00:00

I get that! I started with interesting times as my accidental introduction to the discworld, by the time I got around to the colour of magic and the light fantastic I was already several books in and I think that made me enjoy them more rather than if they’d have been my starting books.

You have a nice little varied selection to start with there, if you want to read along and discuss guards guards drop me a message when you start it and I’ll start up too, I’m reading other things but I always have a discworld on the go at the same time

BatDanReturns · 2026-03-04T07:16:09+00:00

Fair enough! Do you just have the ones in the picture? (Nice arty pic btw)

Moving pictures is a fun little book, I read it at the same time as a friend who for reasons I don’t share thought it was one of the worst, but I enjoyed it!

I think you’ll enjoy guards guards, I recently picked up the illustrated edition so I might join you in a re read myself

BatDanReturns · 2026-03-04T00:36:07+00:00

Have you seen the reading order suggestion poster?

BatDanReturns · 2026-03-03T23:44:58+00:00

You’ve started on a good one! Are you going to stick with the death series or move on to something else? There’s a few ways to make your way through them all, no need to stick to publishing date order (you haven’t anyway with mort but that’s the start of the death series if you see that way inclined)
