Neverwhere and Beyond Retrospective & Winners
Today is the last day of November, signaling the close of my Neverwhere and Beyond month. Despite the burnout I felt toward the end of the month, I am so glad that I came up with the idea and followed through on it. I had wanted to do more, but given the circumstances of my job and home life, I am pleased with what I did accomplish. I have found that I enjoy Neil Gaiman’s writing more than I hoped that I would.
Here are links to the reviews of the novels I did read this month. I’m listing them in the order I read them. Interestingly enough, that is also the order in which I liked them, too.
Although Stardust is at the bottom of this list, please do not take that to mean I didn’t like it. I found it as good or better than most of the other books I’ve read this year. There is no doubt that I will remember the characters and their stories for a long time to come. I truly think that I would have liked it even better had I not been on a Neil Gaiman binge. LOL!
For once, I’d like to announce the winners of my contest on schedule. I know, I’m shocked myself…
First, let me announce the last two winners of my WWNR bookmarks: Sandy and Pam R. Congratulations! Sandy, I have your address, but Pam, I need yours.
Now for the Neverwhere and Beyond prizes:
Individual Coraline Bookmarks
I will send email notifications to all of my Coraline bookmark winners. Suffice to say, if you entered the contest, you almost probably won a bookmark.
Coraline Bookmark for you and 50 for your local library
Amanda from A Bookshelf Monstrosity! I think that it’s appropriate that a librarian-to-be wins this prize. 
Please send me your address and the address of your library of choice, I’ll send them on their way. I will of course let your library know that you sent them your way.
Neil Gaiman Poster
Zia from My Life in Not So Many Words! Congratulations! I have your address, so I’ll be ordering the poster and sending it your way.
Coraline DVDs
1 each for Piroska and Micheal Herdegen! Congratulations to both of you! I have both of your addresses, so I’ll package the DVDs up and send them to you this week.
Grand Prize Winner (1 of each of the books I read or planned to read)
Jill from Rhapsody in Books! Congratulations, Jill! Please send me your address. I don’t think I have it yet.
Thanks to everyone who participated in Neverwhere and Beyond. It was a great month!

Got something to say?
Book Blogger Con
Have you heard about the 1st Annual Book Blogger Convention that will be held in NYC during the BEA? You should check it out. I know it will be a fantastic experience. Unfortunately I won't be able to attend due to family obligations, but I'll be trolling blogs for up to the minute news.
