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

Eyes of the Void is excellent but needed something much lighter-hearted so put that on hold to read this.

An introduction to functional programming using the Elixir programming language.
Very interesting, beginner-friendly guide to functional programming and Elixir. What is functional programming, why is it worth learning, and how does Elixir behave.
My main criticism would be the pacing. Almost all of the book is paced well; concepts are not laboured (there's a distinct lack of 'five pages explaining the difference between float and integer'), and it all feels good. Except for one chapter - the 'main' chapter where you build an application - it feels like the pacing is doubled or even tripled. Maybe that is just me being a novice, but I felt that chapter could have been paced as two or three chapters and felt better for me.
But I'd still recommend it - it's a really good book. I think I will probably just need to review that one chapter a few more times before it really sinks in.
