So, the miniseries based on the book we're reading for March, Good Omens, is going to start airing on Amazon May 31. I think we should definitely do a group watch of it! It's going to be amazing!
yes!! It's going to be great :) Apparently Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett were working on a sequel to it when Terry died, so Neil has incorporated parts of the sequel into the miniseries.
I am loving the descriptions of an idyllic boyhood combined with the evils of the apocalypse. Just when it gets too cheesy or dreadful it switches around and it's just delightful.
I love Good Omens. It's one of the books we have two copies for: paperback for away from the house (appointments, etc), and hardback for around the house. :D
Ah I missed that we had a book already, I'm so glad it's something I wanted to read anyway. YAY! I should get through that one quick, it looks like a good one. I'm excited for the show, too!
I've been listening to The Ocean at the End of the Lane during school commute. It's my first audiobook and I like it. I normally hate being read to, but I spend 4 hours a day in the car on days my daughter has both school and work. And I can't nap, read, crochet, or reddit while driving....
Whaaat?! I live under a dang rock and now I'm so excited. I've read this book before and I love it.

Aaa that's so cool. The cast looks amazing!!!

I'm still waiting for my copy to arrive at the library. Hopefully I'll be able to race through it once it arrives. How are you liking it so far?
It's good :) I read it years ago, so this is a reread. It's amazing how much I've forgotten. I'm laughing my ass off.
I loved it! Listened on Audible during my commute. Neil Gaiman is great on Audible. Stardust is another of his I really enjoyed.
I got the audiobook of The Graveyard Book from the library. It was super good; the kids liked it too.

Somehow missed this was the book. I read it forever ago, guess it's time for a re-read!
