Interesting Times (Discworld, #17; Rincewind #5)

Last seen in (I believe) <i><s>Mort</s>Eric</i>, Terry Pratchett returns to his original Discworld characters of Rincewind and TwoFlower (and Cohen the Barbarian). In this entry, Rincewind is 'rescued' by the Wizards of Unseen University - a University that has changed since he was last there - from his desert island, only to be sent to the Counterweight Continent, where war is brewing ...

For some reason, this is not one of the Discworld books I would return to all that often (never found the Rincewind stories to be amongst the most enjoyable), but still has plenty of laugh out loud moments, alongside some other shrewd observations about life in general.

We came, we saw it, it kicked ass! My mind is like a ghost trap and the memory of this night will forever be captured and stored away, never to be forgotten. Between sharing my love for Ghostbusters with my niece and just all of the nostalgia surrounding the movie, it made for a very emotional night. Ghostbusters: Afterlife was worth the wait, and like a bunch of library books, it stacks up to the original. It's so freaking amazing! I loved everything about it! If you're a big baby like me, then have some tissue to keep your tear streams from crossing. And make sure you stay until the end of the credits.

Yet another gripping read by Helen Fields and one I very much enjoyed

It has everything - a gruesome murder, an isolated creepy location, serial killers, twists, turns, action and fantastic characters all wrapped up in an excellent story that was hard to stop reading even the parts that were quite gruesome.

Dr Connie and her partner, Baarda, are a great team and I would really like to read more about their work together - if there are more stories in the pipeline ... sign me up!

A very tense and riveting read that I highly recommend and thank you Avon Books UK and NetGalley for enabling be to read and share my thoughts of The Institution.

Come listen to an amazing #playlist for the literary fiction series IF A BUTTERFLY by Michael Sirois on my blog. There's also a giveaway for a chance to win signed copies of both books in the IF A BUTTERFLY series!

https://alltheupsandowns.blogspot.com/2021/12/book-blog-tour-and-giveaway-if.html

**ABOUT THE SERIES**
Nine Characters + One Butterfly = Chaos Theory.

The series, If a Butterfly, is a bit like Six Degrees of Separation from Kevin Bacon (if Kevin just happened to be a butterfly). A Monarch butterfly, during its epic migration from Canada to Mexico, intersects the paths of a few people, and their lives and the lives of others are altered forever.
