Text of the page (random words):
ust let march magics go this year since i haven t blogged since the last one when i got a short message from chris asking for an event image well i just couldn t let him down so here we are again celebrating diana wynne jones and terry pratchett through their always wonderful works i am actually quite happy to host this again for the 11th time i chose the theme friends old and new this year because we are all at different places in our dwj and pratchett journeys some of the characters have been old friends for years others we have yet to meet but are guaranteed to be friends when we do this is my stack for the month minus one book that is still on its way i ll be reading two more discworld books in my journey through that series the last continent and jingo i have also decided to reread dodger since i can t even remember how long it has been since i first read and loved it and i have marc burrows biography the magic of terry pratchett that i m really looking forward to then for dwj well i m picking up the last unread books i have of hers the dalemark quartet the spellcoats will be a reread but the other three will be first time reads it s going to be quite sad to have no more new to me dwjs after this but this is still a chance to make new fictional friends right i would love to know who is participating this year and what you are planning to read so please leave a comment or find me on instagram or twitter and if you post about the event during the month please use hashtag marchmagics i hope to chat with many of you soon and thank you for becoming my friends over these many years through our shared love of these authors i appreciate all of you posted by kristen m at 11 16 pm 13 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels diana wynne jones marchmagics terry pratchett tuesday march 30 2021 wrapping up marchmagics 2021 well i have to say that my theme for this year s event ended up being a bit inspired all together now was the perfect theme to tie together some of the wonderful stories of diana wynne jones and terry pratchett because after all what better magic is there than the relationships we form with family friends and sometimes even foes i ended up reading earwig and the witch the islands of chaldea the lives of christopher chant power of three nation guards guards men at arms and feet of clay there were definitely some amazing examples of teamwork and friendship in these stories i had the most fun revisiting the islands of chaldea the first time i read it diana s death was still rather fresh and it was bittersweet to read her final tale this time it could be just a fun story with another trademark whirlwind ending i really appreciate that her family made the effort to finish the story and share it with readers the pratchetts have just released a final collection of sir pterry s short stories for children too the time travelling caveman and i can t wait to pick that up sometime this year thank you all for participating this year i loved seeing your posts and pictures and tweets throughout the month it made me feel a little less alone i also love that these two special authors bring us together and i m thankful that they wrote books that are brilliant every single time we read or revisit them diana and terry were gems and they will always be missed posted by kristen m at 10 37 pm 6 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels dwjmarch marchmagics wednesday march 24 2021 read along power of three marchmagics i almost forgot to write about power of three because i read the book last week and since then have have been enjoying seeing posts pop up from various other bloggers bookforager jean at howling frog books it felt like a discussion already in progress i also went looking for past posts i had written about this book and had completely forgotten that i had written about it on lory s old blog for witch week in 2014 this was my summary of the book from that post and i like it power of three is one of diana wynne jones s oldest books first released in 1976 it is less fantastical than most of her other books even while being rooted in magic in the land of the dorig the lyman and the giants each race thinks that they are the people and that the others are savages both dangerous and mean it is the simple magic of words that give each group power be it curses charms or negotiation and they frequently use those words against each other it is only when they use their words for friendship and forgiveness instead of enmity that all will be well in their world this story fit perfectly with the all together now theme of the month three very different groups had to come together to find a solution that would work for everyone and somehow they managed it as i see more and more divisiveness in our world these days even though we have far fewer differences than the dorig lyman and giants apologies to the characters for using what they consider slurs i wonder if we will ever get over them for the common good you would think things like climate change and a global pandemic would be big enough problems that the world could come together but well not yet as for discussion i don t want to talk about dwj s fat phobia because that s just depressing and we ve already talked about it many times instead let s talk about the people in this story that surprised us i loved how mr claybury and mr masterfield totally got on board with everything with no hesitation this is so different than how adults act in almost any other children s story was there someone that surprised you with their actions also i was wondering if this book predates standard environmental reviews for civic projects isn t that what actually happened in this story the creatures of the land different groups of people in this case got to actually speak up and stop their habitats from being destroyed that s pretty cool when you think about it right finally and this one sounds like a spoiler but it s not because anybody who hasn t read the book will have no idea what we are talking about when did ceri put a thought on gair on in the final scene i honestly can t figure it out i m planning one more post at the end of the month to tally up all of the great books i ended up reading they have almost all perfectly fit the theme and have gotten me a little more excited to see people again later this summer i am one of the weird people who hasn t been overly sad that we ve been locked away in our own homes and yards for a year anyway i hope that you all are fitting in one more fun dwj or pratchett read before the end of march posted by kristen m at 9 30 pm 10 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels diana wynne jones dwjmarch marchmagics wednesday march 10 2021 read along nation marchmagics terry pratchett s nation is a multiverse book a not our world but one a lot like it story that brings together two young people who are an unlikely pair there is mau the young pacific islander on the cusp of manhood who loses everything when his village is destroyed by a giant wave and there is daphne a british young woman who used to be ermintrude but who used the wreck of the ship she was on to reinvent herself her ship of course wrecks on the island that used to be the home of the nation mau s people as other refugees from the storm start arriving on the island mau and daphne learn to communicate and to create a new found family as they also strive to each understand themselves better i couldn t have picked a better book to fit my all together now theme so many characters come together each with their own strengths to build a new community from the remains of the old one they do things that are hard and sometimes uncomfortable but it allows them to process their grief and move forward and to save each other there is also the pro science message of the story that seems especially timely right now some things i thought about while reading if anyone wants to discuss why are we always so certain when we speak about history when we are constantly discovering new facts about what came before will white supremacy ever end or will it eventually be the end of our species why can t we stand up to our grandparents or other elders when they are obviously wrong mean could you survive alone or almost alone on a previously inhabited island can you really shout underwater to scare away a shark i looked this one up the answer is maybe sometimes i hope most of you will eventually read this book if you didn t get around to it for this event it is a fantastic story that showcases more of the philosophical side of pratchett there is definitely still humor but it takes a backseat in this one and i found it refreshing of course i m reading guards guards right now so i can obviously appreciate all of the humor as well he
