Good morning all, and welcome to Radio Free Monday!

And thank you for making it a short one this week :)

Ways To Give:

wldcatsprstr_14 is facing eviction in the new year, and needs help with moving/rental costs; they've just got a new job but have no savings built up. You can read about it at their journal or visit the ChipIn here.

editrx, a professional book copyeditor, has been hit by severe health, home, legal, financial problems after losing all her savings trying to stay above water. She's been turned down for food stamps, medicaid, and cash assistance by her state. On January 1, she'll lose all health insurance, which is vital since she has lupus. You can read more about how to help here.

laleia linked to a ChipIn for Antoinette Williams, put up by her son William. She needs $7000 for a security deposit and a few months' rent in order to secure a place to live, since she can't work due to rheumatoid athritis. She looks like a great mom with three great kids; you can see pictures, read more, and help out here.

And this has been Radio Free Monday! Thank you for your time. You can always post items for my attention in comments here (or on any post) or email me at copperbadge at gmail dot com. If you're not sure how to proceed, here is a little more about what I do and how you can help (or ask for help!). Remember, brevity is the soul of RFM.

Can you tell I've been swapping between books lately?

I just finished reading Snuff, Terry Pratchett's latest Watch novel. It's a Vimes story, very much a Vimes story, and Vimes gets to be a super-special snowflake in it, and I DO NOT CARE because I love Sam Vimes and think he should always be super-special and also Young Sam is adorable.

( Snuff by Terry Pratchett )

Final Verdict: I can never be objective about the Discworld novels because I love Pterry too much, but there are some that are better than others. This one may have had some flaws but I enjoyed it thoroughly nonetheless.

Whenever I post about Discworld I always get at least one question about how to read them, so here's a pre-emptive link. If you don't know where to start, or if you started with The Colour Of Magic and couldn't go on (I wouldn't blame you; Colour of Magic and Light Fantastic are probably his worst books, and I don't even like them) here is a slightly-out-of-date but nonetheless useful Guide for Reading Discworld.
