I've read Small Gods, Pyramids and The Truth as standalones. I've read the City Watch subseries and up through Lords and Ladies of the Witches subseries. What are some good standalones I can look at for my next palate cleanser since I am not ready to go back to Maskerade yet?

Heya! I think all books can be standalones, but I enjoyed Mort especially (it's the first Death book, so no previous knowledge necessary).

I read Mort in book club last year :) It was okay, I liked City Watch books much better. I do plan to read the rest of the Death series at some point though.
