Today is Bookshop Day -- a national celebration of all bookshops on our high streets. Do you have a favourite bookshop? Are there any special events happening at a bookshop near you?

It's #WorldPostDay! This marks the founding of the Universal Postal Union in Switzerland in 1874. This began the global communications revolution, allowing letters to be sent all over the world.

What is the motto of the Ankh-Morpork Post Office?

#Discworld #DiscworldConvention #TerryPratchett

Black text on a pale yellow background with a black Art Nouveau border. The text reads "World Post Day" above an image of an official Royal Mail commemorative stamp with art by the official Discworld artist, Paul Kidby. The stamp shows Moist von Lipwig in his famous gold suit and wingèd golden hat, carrying a postbag and a huge sheaf of letters. He is flanked by two saluting elderly postmen in navy blue, chests covered in medals. The facial topiary of both gentlemen is frankly outstanding.

4 - 10 October 2026 is #BannedBooksWeek! Just last year, it was reported that a UK high school had banned nearly 200 books as "inappropriate", including Sir #TerryPratchett's Soul Music and Good Omens.

Which other "banned" books and authors should we be reading?

#Discworld #DiscworldConvention

Black text on a pale yellow background, with a black Art Nouveau border. The text reads "Banned Books Week". There is a colour picture of Sir Terry Pratchett, an older man with a white beard, glasses and trademark wide-brimmed black hat, next to his quote: "The space between the young reader’s eyeballs and the printed page is a holy place and officialdom should trample all over it at their peril.”

To mark World Teachers' Day, today's quote is from Mr. Ronald 'Teach' Saveloy in Interesting Times!

#Discworld is full of teachers: Susan Sto Helit, Miss Tick, the wizards of Unseen University... Which is your favourite?

#DiscworldConvention #DiscworldQuotes #TerryPratchett #WorldTeachersDay

Black text on a pale grey background with a black Art Nouveau border. The text reads "But… well… surely… the privation, the terrible hazards, the daily risk of death…” Mr. Saveloy brightened up. “Oh, you’ve been a teacher, have you?" - Interesting Times by Terry Pratchett

On this day in 1936 London saw the Battle of Cable Street, when Londoners of all backgrounds came together to prevent a fascist march through the East End.

Which #Discworld book references another Battle of Cable Street?

#DiscworldConvention #TerryPratchett #OnThisDay #TheBattleOfCableStreet

Black text on a pale yellow background with a black Art Nouveau border. The text reads "On this day in 1936... The Battle of Cable Street was fought in London." Below it is a photo of a red circular wall plaque with white writing, denoting (as Pterry would put it) that the battle took place halfway up a wall. The text on the plaque reads: "Tower Hamlets Environment Trust The Battle of Cable Street The people of East London rallied to Cable Street on the 4th October 1936 and forced back the march of the fascist Oswald Mosley and his Blackshirts through the streets of the East End." "They shall not pass"

It's the first day of October and the beginning of the spookiest month of the calendar! To mark it, today's Discworld quote is from #TheFifthElephant and is about werewolves. Which particular werewolf is being discussed here?

#Discworld #DiscworldConvention #DiscworldQuotes #TerryPratchett #Gaspode

Black text on a pale grey background with a black Art Nouveau border. The text reads: "Wolves hate werewolves.’ ‘What? That can’t be right! When she’s wolf-shaped she’s just like a wolf!’ ‘So? When she's human-shaped she’s just like a human. And what’s that got to do with anything? Humans don’t like werewolves. Wolves don’t like werewolves. People don’t like wolves that can think like people, an’ people don't like people who can act like wolves. Which just goes to show that people are the same everywhere.’ said Gaspode. He assessed this sentence and added, ‘Even when they’re wolves." - The Fifth Elephant Terry Pratchett

Happy International Bacon Day!

Sam Vimes is famously fond of a bacon butty or three -- much to Lady Sybil's disapproval. But what makes a sandwich a "Vimes BLT"?
