Friday Finds at the Store is a meme hosted by Jennay at My Tea Time is Book Time. It is totally easy and everyone can join. Basically just post the books you found at the bookstore or library. Now others can see the great finds you had and maybe they will pick it up on their next bookstore/library run. HAPPY readings!!!
(I bought a few Neil Gaiman books because he's coming and I will be getting his autograph...I can't wait!!!)
From the back cover of Coraline by Neil Gaiman
In Coraline's family's new flat there's a locked door. On the other side is a brick wall---until Coraline unlocks the door...and finds a passage to another flat in another house just like her own.
Only different.
The food is better there. Books have pictures that writhe and crawl and shimmer. And there's another mother and father there who want Coraline to be their little girl. They want to change her and keep her with them...forever.
From the back cover of Stardust by Neil Gaiman
Young Tristran Thorn will do anything to win the cold heart of beautiful Victoria---even fetch her the star they watch fall from the night sky. But to do so, he must enter the unexplored lands on the other side of the ancient wall that gives their tiny village its name. Beyond that old stone wall, Tristran learns, lies Faerie---where nothing, not even a fallen star, is what he imagined.From the inside flap of M is for Magic by Neil Gaiman
Bestselling author and master storyteller Neil Gaiman here presents a breathtaking collection of tales that may chill or amuse readers---but always embrace the unexpected:
*A teenage boy who has trouble talking to girls finds himself at a rather unusual party.
*A sinister jack-in-the-box haunts the lives of the children who owned it.
*A boy raised in a graveyard makes a discovery and confronts the much more troubling world of the living.
*A stray cat fights a nightly battle to protect his adopted family from a terrible evil.
What did you find???
(these books were bought from a store called FullyBooked)
