I was a voracious reader as a kid, and for a long time after that. But at some point, I stopped reading novels so much. First I switched to comics and manga, the latter almost exclusively at one point, and then to games and just random browsing.
But these days I've made a decision to get started again, and so far it's working out. My "have read" count still isn't huge, but it's increasing.

A good read. Not as good as The Sunless Sea, I think, and I didn't connect with the two primary characters nearly as much. But still, Morganstern really knows how to create a sense of place, making them impressive and fantastical as she goes.

And there it is, my first Pratchett.
Franky, I liked it pretty well, although it did have a habit of beating you over the head with the point sometimes. Still, an enjoyable read and I have it on good authority most of the books are even better. Something to look forward to once I get more of a gap in my TBR pile.

My first-ever Pratchett! People have given me such astronomically high expectations of his work it worries me, but I had to jump in sooner or later.
First few dozen pages are pretty good, and very accessible, but hardly anything to judge the work on. We'll see how it goes over the next week or so of reading.
