Lauren wrote: "How did you like the Color of Magic? I'm thinking of starting the Discworld series..."It was alright, not amazing though. The advice I have heard is that you shouldn't start off with The Color of Magic, but others in the series.
So weird! I've just finished The Color of Magic too. Pretty much felt the same as you. I really wanted to love it but it took a long while for me to really get into it. I enjoyed it well enough so probably will continue the series at some point.

Right, so I am hoping to hit 200 books this year. I'd like to read 12 audiobooks, and at least 100 books that I own. Other than that, no crazy goals.
