I'm looking forward to that one too. It's already on my shelf ready to go!
Would like to join neverwhere! Just finished reading it actually :)
I started the book yesterday and I must say I love it. In addition to the style of Gaiman that I find fabulous, this story is amazing and the pages run one after the other.
I'd love to join in. I've read a couple of NG books and loved them. Found him while plowing through everything Terry Pratchett. I think it'd be fun to reread Good Omens with a group and I have Neverwhere planned for next month already.
I was lucky enough to win a hardback 1st edition of
in a Goodreads giveaway.
It's great fun with fantastic drawings by Chris Riddell. Recommended if you are a Neil Gaiman fan or a fan of aliens, dinosaurs, wumpires, pirates or milk.

If it causes anyone a logistics problem in getting the book I won't change it, just wanted to check :)

I need to read American Gods as a group read for a challenge by the end of February. So, I would prefer it to go:
January - Stardust
February - American Gods
March - Good Omens
January - Stardust
February - American Gods
March - Good Omens
I'm ok with any changes in schedule you need.

Thanks all :)
That's so funny, Caitlink!You officially join the challenge just by saying in this thread that you'd like to, so welcome! Look forward to discussing with you.
I just finished Neverwhere and thought it was really good. Hope you enjoy it!
Mod
I made a little mess and I read last month Neverwhere. Is it a problem if I'll read this month The Graveyard Book?
Mod
I'd love to join in, have a copy of Neverwhere on my shelf waiting to be read!
oh oh oh am I too late to join? I read Coraline and i totally became a fan. I was reading M is for Magic but my e-reader broke and i ended up becoming busy and with no time to read. I guess i'll start with the january book and them catch up on the other ones i haven't read =D
Mod
I'll join for the ones I haven't already read: Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch,Fragile Things: Short Fictions and Wonders,Smoke and Mirrors, and The Tragical Comedy or Comical Tragedy of Mr. Punch. I know I'mg getting a late start. but I just saw this buddy read.Fortunately, all the books I've missed are one's I've already read.

I didn't check my ebook out on time and lost it from my library hold - oops, but I still have the audio version on hold, but I may get it late now.Another oops, wrong thread, this is for
read which starts on the 12th.
Mod
Participating in the BR will help me finish American Gods!

How are you enjoying Lirael? I really enjoyed Sabriel.

Neverwhere. I really liked that one. I think I may read Anansi Boys at some point in time too, but I just can't fit it in with the group.
Mod
Neverwhere was the first Gaiman I read and I loved it. I enjoyed The Ocean at the End of the Lane, but not quite as much as Neverwhere. Halfway through American Gods right now and then straight into Anansi Boys.
It warms my heart to see new fans of Neverwhere :)
I'm looking forward to Anansi Boys. What's the start date for it this month?
Karen wrote: "I think that's my favourite so far too. I just started Anansi Boys on audio. Lenny Henry does a great job"Good to know! When I get around to it, I'll probably listen to the audio.
Does anyone know if Smoke and Mirrors is another set of short stories?
Mod
It is - it's actually his first collection of them, preparing Fragile Things.
I'm so behind! I'll never catch up! X)PS - Karen, what's a squiz???
