Slowly building up my collection of hard back Terry Pratchett books. My favourite ones follow the witches or the nights watch. I have a special place in my heart for Granny Weatherwax.

So…I got a switch for Christmas (no I do not care that the new one is coming out) and so far I have finished Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Violet (the saddest Pokemon story I’ve ever played). I’m not sure I’m getting on with Legends of Arceus though…any tips from the Pokemon community?
