I read mostly in Dutch, English and some French. When I was a kid, I read a lot, I slacked off as an adult, but reading bedtime stories to my daughter has reinvigorated my love for books (fiction, non-fiction, graphic novels,...)

reviewed A Hat Full of Sky by Terry Pratchett (Discworld, #32)

Terry Pratchett: A Hat Full of Sky (Paperback, 2005, Transworld) 4 stars

Something is coming after Tiffany ...Tiffany Aching is ready to begin her apprenticeship in magic. …

Tiffany's still not fully my cup of tea

3 stars

This is a good book, but it's certainly not my favourite Terry Pratchett book. Just like in the first Tiffany book, the Feegles are overused, to the point that they become annoying. Also, there is a very long (sometimes a tad boring) buildup, but the conclusion to the story seems really rushed. There are obvious flashes of brilliance and hints at what's to come, so I have high hopes for the next books in the Tiffany series, but this one is a bit wanting.

reviewed The Fifth Elephant by Terry Pratchett (Discworld, #24)

Terry Pratchett: The Fifth Elephant (Paperback, 2000, Corgi Adult) 4 stars

Everyone knows that the world is flat, and supported on the backs of four elephants. …

Makes you think

5 stars

This is book is not full of laugh out loud moments or quick jokes, but rather takes the time to tell a really nice and compelling story with Sam Vimes in a heroic starring role. As always with Pratchett, the book is full of references to our own round world and makes you think about our own behaviour more than once
