The problem with nominating Witches Abroad is that it's part of an ongoing series and it's not the first one. It's possible it may have some spoilers or some things on it people won't get unless they've read all the proceeding books in the Discworld series. I've read some of the Discworld books and yes, reading in published order is the best way to enjoy them. You may be better off canceling that nomination and instead going for Colour of Magic instead as that is the first book in the series.

P.S., Bob, is there any rule about nominating books in a series that is not the first book?
