2008: The 25th anniversary of the Discworld series!

It’s not easy being a teenage pharoah: you’re not allowed to carry money, uninhibited young women peel yogurt grapes for you, everyone thinks you’re responsible for making the sun rise and the corn grow, you keep dreaming about seven fat cows and seven thin cows* and, on top of that, the Great Pyramid has exploded because of paracosmic instability …

Brutha’s a simple lad who can’t read or write, although he’s good at growing melons. His wants are few, but he does want to stop the persecution of a philosopher who’s dared to suggest that, contrary to church dogma, the Discworld really does go through space on the back of an enormous turtle.

The alchemists of the Discworld have discovered the magic of the silver screen. But what is the dark secret of Holy Wood hill?
It’s up to Victor Tugelbend (”Can’t sing. Can’t dance. Can handle a sword a little.”) and Theda Withel (”I come from a little town you’ve probably never heard of”) to find out… (Source: Amazon)

William de Worde is the accidental editor of the Discworld’s first newspaper. Now he must cope with the traditional perils of a journalist’s life - people who want him dead, a recovering vampire with a suicidal fascination for flash photography, some more people who want him dead in a different way and, worst of all, the man who keeps begging him to publish pictures of his humorously shaped potatoes.
William just wants to get at THE TRUTH. Unfortunately, everyone else wants to get at William. And it’s only the third edition… (Source: Amazon)

It was a sudden strange fancy, and now Polly Perks, in her brother’s clothes and her hair cut off, has joined up to fight for her country. But who is the enemy? What is she really fighting for? War teaches you a lot, she finds, when it turns out that you joined the Monstrous Regiment. (Source: Amazon)

Imagine a million clever rats. Rats that don’t run. Rats that fight…
Maurice, a scruffy tomcat with an eye for the main chance, has the perfect fiddle going. He has a stupid-looking kid for a piper, and he has his very own plague of rats - rats who are strangely educated, so Maurice can no longer think of them as ‘lunch’. And everyone knows the stories about rats and pipers - and is giving him lots of money…
Until they try the trick in the far-flung town of Bad Blintz, and the nice little con suddenly goes down the drain.
Someone there is playing a different tune. A dark, shadowy tune. Something very, very bad is waiting in the cellars. The rats must learn a new word.
Evil.
It’s not a game any more.
It’s definitely a rat-eat-rat world down there. In fact, that might only be the start… (Synopsis: Amazon)
