My read-through of Discworld has been a very hectic one so far; I started with Mort a while back, and have been going with the really hectic mix of mostly late-series audiobooks my library has. Thief of Time was the last one available to me (for now). Can't say I reccomend the audiobook version, the sound mixing is weird and not very high quality.

Loved the story, though. I love how it discusses personifications and the unavoidable way even things like the auditors are shaped by humanity. Susan is a delight, even if I don't think I'll ever fully understand her character motivations.

The history monks are so interesting, I like what Pratchett does with them. I do feel a bit bad for what becomes of Jeremy, he feels a little left behind in it all. I know he's technically still there, but he felt like he had a lot more character than Lobsang when it came down to it and both lost a lot of character by becoming a diety.

My only complaint is one I've found myself with across a few books (the last few Tiffany Aching installments, parts of the Moist Von Lipwig series) which is that Sir Terry writes incredible, interesting friendships, but in my opinion he doesn't write very interesting romances. I've noticed he tends to forgo developing those interesting friendships into relationships for introducing other less fleshed-out romances, or the romance part of a relationship is the least interesting part of the characters. (I love Vimes and Sybil, but I don't think their romantic relationship is very interestingly written from what I've read, for example.) That may just be me being very ace and kind of aro, though.

Right now Monstrous Regiment is still my favorite in the series, but curious about where Thief of Time ranks for you guys.

I'm in recovery for a severe anxiety-related ED, trying my best to stay on track, but I'm still not eating enough to be on a "healthy" level.

How did you guys recover your appetites, or when did it happen? I can have a little fried food, cheese, or red meat and have been able to increase my portion sizes a bit but I get full or my stomach gets upset really fast. Its so hard to technically get enough in a day.

I would love and appreciate some insight.

Looking for reccomendations for doctors who can do lasik, I've been struggling to find one through provider sites so decided to ask local

I read a ton of books at my school's library as a kid, and I remember one vaguely I've been trying to find forever.

From what I recall, it followed a brother and sister waking up one day to find their father- a writer- gone and that their house is surrounded by a vast sea. They go looking for him and the only other thing I remember is a challenge or something where one of the kids is turned into a dove with a ring around its neck and the other has to pick them out of a flock.

Any help is appreciated!
