The idea is delightfully simple: for 30 days, you post once a day in response to a book-themed question. That’s it. No essays, no footnotes, no need to summon the ghost of Shakespeare, just honest answers, curious reflections, and maybe a few cheeky confessions about your reading habits. I have decided to take part this year, and since I picked a month with 31 days (I know it would have made more sense to use a 30 day one) I am using March 1st to explain what I am doing.

Each day brings a new prompt: favourite characters, memorable endings, guilty pleasures, and the books that made you weep, rage, or fall in love with the written word. It’s a gentle nudge to celebrate your literary life, one post at a time.

So why not give it a go? Dust off your bookshelf, sharpen your wit, and join the challenge. Thirty days. Thirty questions. One slightly eccentric bookworm’s journey through the pages.

DAY 1. – A book series you wish had gone on longer OR a book series you wish would just end already.

Today’s prompt offers two paths:

• A book series you wish had gone on longer
• A book series you wish would just end already

Now, as a devoted bibliophile and unapologetic hoarder of stories, I must confess, I could never choose the second option. Even if a particular series didn’t tickle my fancy, I know full well that someone, somewhere, treasures it deeply. And who am I to trample on their joy? Just because I didn’t enjoy it doesn’t mean their opinion is invalid. (Even if it is. Profoundly. But we’ll let that slide.)

So, onward to the first option: a book series I wish had continued. There are many contenders, worlds I’ve wandered through and characters I’ve grown fond of, but one series stands above the rest.

Yes, I know it already boasts 41 main titles, plus short stories, spin-offs, and companion volumes. But I still choose Discworld. Why? Because if there were more Discworld books, it would mean that the incomparable Sir Terry Pratchett was still with us, still weaving satire, wisdom, and hilarity into every page. His voice was one of rare brilliance, and the world needs more of that now than ever.

We need more Terrys. More gentle mockery of pompous institutions. More clever footnotes. More librarians who say “Ook.” And more reminders, tucked between the jokes, that kindness and courage matter.

So yes, I wish the series had gone on longer, not just for the stories, but for the storyteller.
