@CiaraNi@mastodon.green Heh. I didn't know there is a Perth, Scotland. So when I read the Wikipedia article I was creating crazy stories to explain how the Stone of Scone got to Perth, Australia.

@CiaraNi@mastodon.green Cool! I had definitely heard thr phrase "stone of scone" before somewhere but didn't look it up when it seemed familiar. Terry does such a good job of blending in reality with his fiction, often in subtle and sly ways. 🙂

5 out of 5 stars An excellent Discworld book! Sam Vimes is sent as ambassador to Uberwald and leaves Carrot in charge of the Watch. The Stone of Scone has gone missing in Uberwald when it is needed for the inauguration of the next dwarf king. Captain Angua (von Überwald) goes missing and Captain Carrot abandons the Watch to find her. Leaving Sergeant Colon in charge which doesn't go well for the Watch or Ankh-Morpork.

Allow Me to Retort: A Black Guy's Guide to the Constitution 5 / 5 stars A pointed, definitely anti-conservative, sometimes profane analysis of white supremacist roots of the Constitution of the United States of America. Elie has a distinct writing voice that some might find offensive, but I urge you to look past it and absorb the history he is sharing and his clear eyed assessment of our Constitution and possible ways to make it better for everyone. Definitely read the Epilogue for his candidate suggestions for improvement.

A wonderful second book in the series. Abdullah's story slowly builds and reveals his character and wit. When characters from the first Bill finally started appearing I was fully invested in Abdullah's story. It was good to have them but they were incidental to me. #Bookstodon
