Terry Pratchett Could Save the World (21st Century Perspectives on British Literature and Society)
by Rebecca Ann BachThis monograph contends that attending to Pratchett’s work could help to save our world. It draws attention to the astonishing capacity of Pratchett’s novels to inspire and argues that Pratchett’s fantasy novels directly address many of the most significant challenges people in the world face: the explosion of weapons technology; the myriad issues involved in the envelopment of human life by corporatized information technology; the destructive human inattention to, and interactions with, the Earth and its life forms; and the problem of devalued labor. Paradoxically, it is Pratchett’s choice of fantasy that lets him address the reality of major issues that humanity and the rest of life confront now. Pratchett’s novels show us how to better understand and confront the problems the world is contending with. The book will interest both scholars and fans.

That Time I Drugged a Dragon: Mead Mishaps 3 (Mead Mishaps)
by Kimberly Lemming'This book is pure, sexy, dirty joy' Goodreads reviewer on That Time I Got Drunk and Saved a DemonWhen I was a little girl, my Ma used to read me stories every night. Some were epic adventures with high stakes and exciting twists while others were of princesses trapped in towers guarded by fierce dragons. The pitiful princess would be stuck inside all day pining for her prince charming to come and rescue her. I always hated those stories. I couldn't imagine why the lazy thing didn't just get up and leave. Ironic since I was now stuck in that same situation. Turns out, when a dragon holds you hostage, he doesn't just let you get up and leave. Who knew? When I thought I saw hope on the horizon, that hope was smashed to bits by - you guessed it - another damn dragon.'[P]erfect entertainment for my stressed out brain, and I was definitely rooting for those two wacky kids to have their HEA' Smart Bitches, Trashy Books on That Time I Got Drunk and Saved a Demon
