All you followers: All you Neil Gaiman fans…
Please, please, please reblog the post about the Neil Gaiman Signed (and Doodled!) Books Auction:http://starcatbooks.tumblr.com/post/134528518001/neil-gaiman-signed-book-auction-is-live-you
Neil hasn’t had a chance to reblog it yet from his own Tumblr or Twitter, so I’m getting very few bids, and what with being down sick with bronchitis, it’s making me anxious and coughy. And coughy is bad right now (I sound like a dirty phone call — weeeelll, maybe that’s a okay thing, but it doesn’t feel very good). Make a sick girl happy: REBLOG, PLEASE.
The more people who know about the auction, the more likely we’ll get people actually bidding on it. It only runs for 2 weeks. Two short weeks! You (or others you know) will want to get those yummy auctioned books as a Christmas (or as a late Chanukah) present, right?
Right.
reblog reblog reblog … !
Make my coughyness go away. (Yes, that’s a word. I say it’s so.)

This is a collection of Asian folktales, fairytales, myths, and legends. Good for mixing things up from the usual Greek and Roman variety. I would personally recommend Siti Zubaidah, the Chinese creation myths (Pan Gu and Nü Wa), Journey to the West, the Japanese creation myths (Izanami and Izanagi; Amaterasu and Uzume), Tokoyo, and Kiyohime.
The original post only listed all of this, so I added links for almost all of them (some I couldn’t find resources for). Found this while I was looking at a Singaporean indie publisher.
