For the second bit, I recommend HardCover.

I loved this book when I read it years ago. I really loved the shifting perspectives and obviously the setting and mood

Why did you leave storygraph? I just got on it because I wanted an online log of some sort. I dont mind it so far. Although I literally just joined 3 weeks ago

I love Vimes so much already!! Im listening to the audiobook of the witch series while gardening and love it too :)

I prefer reading to listening. But gotta make do when I can't use my hands to read

Based on some random reddit thread. Its a good book to start i think. Just go for it

Terry Pratchett's Guards! Guards!. This is my first Pratchett book and I'm kicking myself for not picking these up sooner, like decades sooner. Like my life would have been different sooner :)

Bojack Horseman.

If you're in US, you can borrow audiobooks from public libraries for free usually through an app. Its very convenient.
