British Books Challenge 2012


This is my new eReader: the Sony PRS-T1, or Sony Reader™ Wi-Fi® (WLAN). In accordance with other products, e.g. Kindle or Oyo, I decided to call it Hugo, to keep it simple.
Hugo is going to help me do something I have wanted to do for quite some time: he wil let me read all of Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels!
Why didn't I do this before, you ask? Well, I would need a much bigger bookshelf, for one thing. Also, even thinking of buying more than 30 paperbacks makes me cringe at the thought of all the trees dying for them.
Now, did I hear someone say "library"? I considered this option, of course, but I live in Germany and want to read originals. See, I don't really trust translators. Libraries in my vicinity are short on English books, though. But now, with this little tool, I can get started!

To help me with this feat (so far I've only read the Tiffany Aching series) a lovely person has sent me this lovely picture. I am still uncertain whether I'll follow the publishing order or the one displayed here, but I think this will come over time Publishing order it is, and I have yet to regret that choice. One way or the other, I will start with The Colour of Magic and The Light Fantastic. And then I'll learn how to write reviews. ;-)

Now, about the title. A very interesting person named Victoria participates in the British Books Challenge 2012 with reading the Discworld novels, so I thought I could do that, too! 12 books in a year shouldn't be a problem at all.
