Title: The Color of Magic ; Discworld #1  Author: Terry Pratchett Genre: Fantasy Pages:228 Rating; 4 stars My thoughts on the book:   I really like this one. I like Terry Pratchett;s writing and I find him rather funny actually. I want to read more from the Discworld series because I think Terry has started to create a rather fantastical world in this book. I also really like these characters ! Twoflower is still my favorite!  #2. Title: The Little People  Author: John Christopher Genre: Horror Pages:  228 Rating: 4 stars My thoughts on the book: This one was a very weird one. I happened to really like it though. I would highly recommend it to anybody ...

Now I want to post my TBR/Bookopolly.  First up we have The Color of Magic by Terry Prachett.  It was on my TBR last month and I'm putting it on this months too because I really wanted to get to reading this series. I have already started it and it's pretty decent so far .         Secondly we have The Little People by John Christopher.  This is a horror book that I'm going to read for my Paperbacks From Hell Reading Challenge.  It just sounds really weird and hilarious.  I read it has gnomes in it and I think the gnomes turn into Nazis and try to take things over .

These are two different visions for the future; one will succeed, and one will fail.             It is possible for America to respond to the Chinese Communist Party's effor...
