They Say It’s Your Birthday, Neil!

birthdaycakeToday is “The Neil’s” birthday!

Here at The Literate Housewife Review, we wish Neil Gaiman the happiest of days.  I have only read two of his books as of today (The Graveyard Book and Neverwhere – review coming Friday).  I’m looking forward to even more in the month ahead.

In celebration of this momentous day, two lucky people who leave a comment within the next 24 hours wishing our man of the month a happy birthday will win a Coraline bookmark (see prizes post) as well as a hand made “WWND” (What Would Neil Do) bookmark that I’m making.  I don’t have the prototypes completed, but I think they’ll be appropriate for the author and subject matter. LOL!

All those who leave comments on this post can also enter for the big drawing (again, see prizes post) at the end of the month.  The code is N&B-HB.

    Happy Birthday Neil! I love all your books, well all the ones I’ve read. I’m currently doing the Dream King challenge and just read the book of short stories called Smoke and Mirrors (love it) and am currently reading The Graveyard Book. Just picked up the first Sandman at the library. Nevewhere is still my favorite because it was my first.

    Don’t you wonder what Mr. Gaiman does to celebrate his birthday?! I hope it’s a happy one. I do love his work.

    First of all, what up with that cake???? Very very cool! Happy Birthday Mr. Gaiman! Thank you for bringing us the “other mother” (a term I love to use at the right moment in my house) and Bod!

    OK, so here is how much of an idiot I am. Yesterday I had to go to the park to sign my son up for tackle football next year. I knew it was first-come, first-serve, so I got there early, prepared to sit and wait, so I brought my book (a true crime ARC I was loving). I got so wrapped up in the jostling for my place in line, that I left the book and one of my beautiful bookmarks with it at the park. When I realized what I had done, I raced back to the park, but it was gone. Guess somebody else likes true crime besides me. Long story short, I would love to replace my lost bookmark!

    I wish I could claim the cake. It came up in my Google Images search for birthday cake spooky. I thought it was a great fit. LOL!

    Heidi, like you, I wonder how Neil celebrated his birthday. Hopefully he made the most of it!

    Sandy, OMG about your book and bookmark. Your son owes you a bookmark for Christmas, that is for sure. LOL!
