Found It!

For those who are interested:

In the Discworld novels, the first mention of seamstresses as... uh... doing something other than sewing clothes (if you get my meaning) is 15 books in, halfway through Men At Arms.

*goes back to reading*

Is an attentive book geek, at least.... But I'm always surprised how late the Watch books really get going - by extension, surprised at how late this is in the series.

Fingers crossed for Unseen Academicals.

You are very very clever. And the only person who got anywhere close to the right book. *applauds*


Oooh... New book...

Hadn't heard about it. (But then, I am hopelessly behind and haven't yet read Making Money or Wintersmith.)

*simpers modestly* Heh.

New book yay! Possibly the last book; which I don't want to think about :o(. I'm glad you've still got reading to come; the kids books don't quite do it for me, but Making Money is a gem.

Nods sagely, though I was off by miles, which I blame on reading out of order.
