Actual Physical Books:

Three Paperback Books in a row on a wooden table.
The leftmost book is entitled The Mills of God, the cover shows a complex picture dominated by a large bear.
The middle book is entitled The Teeth of Evolution. The cover shows a landscape of water and rocks with a tall white mountain to the side.
The rightmost book is entitled Turning the World. The cover shows a woman with her eyes shut, Two roads emerge from the back of her head, one turning to the left, the other to the right. Small figures can be seen on the roads. Just behind the woman's head is the bear seen in the cover of The Mills of God. Behind the bear is an ocean with an island rising up in it. A tall tree with a spreading canopy grows on the island. The roads come together at the base of the tree.

I love those eyes. I made this Shoggoth birthday cake for my wife some years ago.

A round chocolate cake covered with modeling chocolate, divided into eight segments each with a sugar eye on top. Producing a six eyed shape staring upward.

A very good book, but it does somewhat depend on “Reaper Man” and “Soul Music” to understand the main characters and some of the bad guys.

Still from the TV movie of Hogfather. Death dressed as the Hogfather (the Discworld Santa Claus analogue) is next to his assistant Albert dressed in a green outfit with a stocking cap and pointed ears. They are standing in a decorated living room next to a fireplace.

Goblin Schroeder

JoCat's stuffed Goblin Bard is seated in front of a Kalimba hunched over in the manner of Schroeder from Peanuts in front of a piano.
