paperback, like new.

I got this copy from the fellow booklover at BookRiver (Russia). It took me about, I don't know, four years to finally read it and watch the movie version.
Well, they differ a lot. The book and the movie have very different air. The book is mature (sometimes questionable explicit) and has a peculiar ending. The language is also notable, not a page-turner by a long mile.
I release this book as a part of my Keep Them Moving challenge.

Going to to Moriquen wia wishlist (Parallel thread) tag.

Enjoy!

The book arrived yesterday, but due to Christmas and the family gatherings I didn't have time to journal it. Thank you very much for sending me this book. And yes, I am a big fan of Gaiman and his books. He has a way of conjuring a very peculiar atmosphere. I'll let you know what my favourite part of this book was, after I've read it. I haven't seen the movie yet, perhaps I will some day.
Thanks for sending this book halfway around the world! And Happy Christmas!

This was, again, a perfect little fairy tale by the master of strange fairy tales. It was fun, fast paced and I felt I would have happily read through 500 more pages of this story. I'm tempted to see the movie now, although I know it can never be as good as the book! Thnaks for sharing it with me Lamilla. I'll make sure the book keeps on travelling in one way or another!

This book is reserved for the winner of the International Acts of Kindness Sweepstake of September. I added a traditional gift of sugarbeans (litteral translation) to the package. In Flanders (the Northern, Dutch speaking part of Belgium) it is traditional to give sugarbeans when a child is born. And since my baby might just have been born by the time you receive this package, I thought it would be a nice extra. ;)
(Traditionally it was an almond nut covered in a chocolate sugary layer. These days people tend to give a full chocolate 'nut' with a sugary layer. The sugarbeans I have are about half the size of a normal sugarbean. They are called confetti's.)

On its way to the winner of the International Acts of Kindness Sweepstake of September. I hope you'll enjoy it!

Thank you for this wonderful surprise! It will be a book on top of my list to be read soon!

I discovered this great author thanks to Lamilla! :) Here I have it again! I will be happy to dwell into his fantasy world this winter, again ;)

I started to read this magical book. Gaiman imagines a world where something is forbidden, something is impossible and this world is so human! :)
It's hard for me to dwell into a fantasy because I'm so jaded by reality.. :P

Nevertheless, I consider Neil Gaiman to be a brilliant writer!

Thank you Moriquen for the book!

I heard so much about Neil Gaiman, but never read one of his books.

Thank you so much, raluka! I take it as one of my birthday presents.


Summer 2014:

I don't read such genre too much, but that small one I liked reading it during our summer holidays.

Travelling with the S-bookring.

Happy reading!

I chose this one from the letter S bookring, thanks for offering it! :)
