I'm going to start this one as soon as I finish the book I'm currently working on. This will be the first Discworld book for this book club that I haven't already read before, so I'm not sure what to expect or what's in it. I hadn't even read any of the Ancient Civilizations stories in the DW set yet.

Any Bingo squares suggestions? The synopsis mentions mummies, so I assume that would fit Dead Lands and Crypto. But I've already read those squares. :(

There seem to be quite a few promising bingo squares (I've listed them all here: http://themisathena.booklikes.com/post/1961746/discworld-october-group-read-starts-today ). In addition to the two squares you mentioned, I expect that the book will fit -- at a minimum -- the Supernatural, Creepy Crawlies, Monsters, Ghost Stories, and Grave or Graveyard bingo squares; possibly / probably also Spellbound, Demons, Relics and Curiosities, and / or Doomsday.

This will be the first time I'm reading it as well, though, so take the above with a tiny grain of salt. I've decided I'm just going to start it and then apply it to whatever seems to fit best.

Sounds good! I will still have one more Transfiguration Spell left, if needed.

Sounds like you're all set then -- I hope you're going to enjoy the book (and so will we all)!
