Mark Cooper-Jones, Jay Foreman, Map Men: This Way Up (Hardcover, 2025, Hanover Square Press)

really fun, brief tour of some wrong maps

got it on audiobook, really enjoyed it. some very interesting topics discussed, fascinating facts. and all told in the light-hearted way the Map Men are known for on youtube.

on audiobook it's narrated by them, each chapter feels kind of like a long youtube piece, with all their humour and style coming through.

very well done, and if you enjoy their youtube channel you'll probably enjoy this too.

audiobook does come with a pdf of the maps if you want, though i found aside from a brief look at the map for each chapter, it wasn't really necessary to keep it open.

God, this book is just phenomenally good. not finished it yet but it's just so insightful and well thought out, and really well written (and the voice actor / narrator is great too).

reviewed Wyrd sisters by Terry Pratchett (Discworld, #6)

Terry Pratchett: Wyrd sisters (Hardcover, 1988, V. Gollancz)

Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg, and Maigrat have fairy godmother-dom thrust upon them.

Loved this

My favourite so far in my re-read. Always loved the witches. The witches reminded me so much of certain relatives of mine - guess I never really appreciated that when I first read it growing up. So many genuinely laugh out loud moments.
