Witches Abroad
Terry Pratchett
HarperTorch, 2002
Witches Abroad
Terry Pratchett rules! Of the Discworld books, those with the witches are my favorites. Granny Weatherwax and Nanny Ogg are two of the funniest characters ever; wherever they go, hilarity ensues. This book is fractured fairytale-telling at its best.

Dumas does it again!!
"Laughing without an accent" is just as funny as her first book, "Funny in Farsi." After reading her first book I looked her up and was happy to see that she had a second. I really enjoy reading her books; she describes lives situations with an attitude of "Oh well!" ...
