"About to drink second cup of tea without Marmalade this morning. Also, I just won the Newbury Medal for THE GRAVEYARD BOOK."

(and moments later)

"Newbery, not Newbury. Also FUCK!!!! I won the FUCKING NEWBERY THIS IS SO FUCKING AWESOME. I thank you."

- Neil Gaiman, author, via Twitter

Coraline

I am really looking forward to this film. I've never read the book, but have been getting into Neil Gaiman's stuff for a while now, and really like it. I recently read "The Graveyard Book" and really dug it. It's the first novel of his that I've read, having read some of his "Sandman" work.

So, check out the movie "Coraline" on Feb. 6.




And speaking of "The Graveyard Book," if you are interested in it but don't want to read it yourself, you can go to www.mousecircus.com and see video of Neil Gaiman reading the book.
