Turkey and carols, presents and crackers - they all start to feel a bit . . . samey.

Wintersmith
Witches are odd.
That much is clear to Tiffany. But she likes them . . . in an odd sort of way. Just as she likes Roland . . . in a friend sort of way (which most certainly isn't odd).
But Tiffany hasn't really got time to think about Roland, because she has accidentally danced with Winter himself - the Wintersmith.
And now the Wintersmith has a bit of a crush on Tiffany.
According to her friend Daft Wullie, if Tiffany kisses the Wintersmith (an awful thought), her nose turns blue and fall off. According to the witches, if she doesn't shake off her admirer, there will never be another springtime ...

I Shall Wear Midnight - Gift Edition
A man with no eyes. No eyes at all. Two tunnels in his head...It's not easy being a witch, and it's certainly not all whizzing about on broomsticks, but Tiffany Aching - teen witch - is doing her best. Until something evil wakes up, something that stirs up all the old stories about nasty old witches, so that just wearing a pointy hat suddenly seems a very bad idea. Worse still, this evil ghost from the past is hunting down one witch in particular. He's hunting for Tiffany. And he's found her...A fabulous Discworld title filled with witches and magic and told in the inimitable Terry Pratchett style, I Shall Wear Midnight is the fourth Discworld title to feature Tiffany and her tiny, fightin', boozin' pictsie friends, the Nac Mac Feegle (aka The Wee Free Men).
Pastýřská koruna - Poslední příběh ze Zeměplochy
Pastýřská koruna je poslední knihou Terryho Pratchetta. Napsal ji během posledního roku svého života, ještě předtím, než začátkem roku 2015 podlehl neodbytné a atypické formě Alzheimerovy choroby. Uzavřou se tu dobrodružství Toničky Bolavé, jejích oddaných Fíglů i spřátelených čarodějek. Objeví se i zcela nový hrdina, který si jistě velmi rychle získá sympatie čtenářů, a nikoliv jen jejich. Dojde k válce s elfy, která je sice krátká, ale o to zuřivější, a jistě neprozradíme nic nečekaného, když řekneme, že elfové i tentokrát odtáhnou s krvavými nosy. Podíváme se do Ankh-Morporku, k trpasličí firmě, která se zabývá výrobou košťat, a zažijeme dosti nezvyklou přeměnu povýšené čarodějky paní Našeptávalové. Rozloučíme se s celou řadou starých známých a jde o loučení o to těžší, že o jejich dalších osudech si už můžeme nechat jen zdát. Bylo ještě tolik knih, které chtěl Terry Pratchett napsat. Kdyby zůstal naživu, byla by nepochybně i Pastýřská koruna mnohem obsáhlejší, ale i tak je to dobrá kniha a fanouškové Terryho Pratchetta s ní jistě zažijí řadu příjemných chvil.

The Carpet People
A hilarious fantasy, perfect for ages seven and up, by master storyteller Terry Pratchett - the first book he ever wrote!
In the beginning, there was nothing but endless flatness. Then came the Carpet

From the dust came us, the Carpet People.
In the fronds of a carpet, there are tribes and people, families and brothers.
This is a story of two of those brothers. This is the story of the evil Fray, sweeping a trail of destruction across the carpet. And the story of an adventure to end all adventures . . .

Vo svete, ktorý považovali za vymyslený, sa učia prežiť zo dňa na deň. Našli útočisko v kameňolome a tu prvý raz zakúsia útrapy zimy. Navyše prichádza človek - ničiteľ, takže udatní drobci musia znovu bojovať o holý život.
Last Continent
A beautiful hardback edition of the classic Discworld novel
'Anything you do in the past changes the future. The tiniest little actions have huge consequences. You might tread on an ant now and it might entirely prevent someone from being born in the future.'
There's nothing like the issue of evolution to get under the skin of academics. Even if their field of expertise is magic rather than biology. With the best and most interfering minds of Unseen University somehow left in charge at a critical evolutionary turning point, the Discworld’s last continent needs a saviour…
Who is this hero striding across the red desert? Sheep shearer, beer drinker, bush ranger, and someone who'll even eat a Meat Pie Floater when he's sober.
In fact, it's Rincewind, a wizard so inept he can't even spell wizard. He's the only hero left.
Still...no worries, eh?
The Truth
A beautiful hardback edition of the classic Discworld novel
William de Worde is the accidental editor of the Discworld's first newspaper. New printing technology means that words just won't obediently stay nailed down like usual. There's a very real threat of news getting out there.
Now he must cope with the traditional perils of a journalist's life - people who want him dead, a recovering vampire with a suicidal fascination for flash photography, some more people who want him dead in a different way and, worst of all, the man who keeps begging him to publish pictures of his humorously shaped potatoes.
William just wants to get at THE TRUTH. Unfortunately, everyone else wants to get at William. And it's only the third edition...
Carpe Jugulum - (Discworld Novel 23)
A beautiful hardback edition of the classic Discworld novel In this and indeed other lives there are givers and takers. It's safe to say that vampires are very much in the latter camp. They don't have much time for the givers of this world - except perhaps mealtimes - and even less for priests. Mightily Oats has not picked a good time to be a priest. Lancre's newest residents are a thoroughly modern, sophisticated vampire family. They've got style and fancy waistcoats. They're out of the casket and want a bite of the future. But they haven't met the neighbours yet: between them and Lancre stand Granny Weatherwax and Nanny Ogg. And Magrat, who is trying to combine witchcraft and nappies. And young Agnes, although she is really in two minds about everything. Mightily Oats knows he has a prayer, but he wishes he had an axe.
