Neverwhere | 
pickOne of those times where the blurb does not do the scope of the story justice. Neverwhere brought to life a world lived between the cracks and within the shadows. For once the heroes of our story are not wise nor particularly brave, but they are determined. I enjoyed discovering London Below and all its dangers.
Thank you @behudd for the recommendation! The audiobook was a fun time.

📖 Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman
🖋 Chloe Neill
📺 NCIS
🎤 Nine Inch Nails
🎶 Not My Idea (Garbage)
pickREALLY enjoyed this - interesting to discover this was originally a TV script that became a novel. I really like Gaiman‘s writing style, and his very British (and Pratchett -esque) humour! This got me a little further in #PromptMaze and I‘m including as a theme read for #TeamMonsterMash as definitely filled with nasty creatures! #Scarathlon

Signed copies were sold out by the time a group of us were able get our Neil Gaiman books. I still bought Neverwhere for the memory of a joyful evening and to replace the copy I lost. Now I‘m curious to take a drive to Menomonie and check out “Neil‘s mirror.”
so-soI liked it. It was fun to read. I guess I am looking for something to make me think about it long after reading. This is not it. No fault of its own. Except I was angry about Huntress. That fight scene was lame for someone of her prowess. A lifelong planned fight so quickly killed. And was it his fate to face the boat? I don‘t know. I get it. Made for show movie turned book. It was fun.

pickWorking my way through Gaiman's novels. I enjoyed this one immensely.
I loved the world of London Below. Such a dark and gritty yet magical place. I liked seeing it all from Richard's perspective as an outsider, or 'upworlder'. He gets pulled into the world unwillingly and ends up tagging along with Door on her quest to avenge her family.
This was such a beautiful, slightly creepy, wildly imaginative, quirky, funny, and strange read! Like nothing I‘ve read in a long time!! 🖤
pickThis was my first book by Gaiman and i really enjoyed his style. I would've loved to get to know more about London Below though, the world of the lost and forgotten, about how it came to be, how did things “fall through the cracks“. Maybe in the sequel...?
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆

#London
One of my favorite Neil Gaiman books. Love the concept of London below.
@Branwen thanks for the heads up on this gorgeous edition
#NeilGaiman #Neverwhere #IllustratedEdition
EDIT: I just realised that this is the very first physical copy of anything by Gaiman I have ever owned.
Do I already own multiple editions of this book? Yes, yes I do BUT, and this is very important, none of them look like this new paperback edition (out today). Of course I had to have it. I also had to do a short read aloud for my co-workers to introduce them to Mr. Croup and Mr. Vandemar. Love. This. Book. ❤️
pickNeil Gaiman never disappoints. He has quite the imagination. I feel like people like this are like Peter Pan, they never quite grow up.
#bookspinbingo #JumpStart2021- Fireworks (there were Fireworks in the book, I'm going with it) @TheAromaofBooks @Clwojick @Lizpixie
pickNeverwhere is a dark tale that takes the underbelly of London and runs away with it wrapped up in wild imagination. The world-building is brilliant as the characters venture deeper into London Below. The characters are phenomenal. Each one is filled to the brim with complexity and their character arcs will keep readers entertained. #darkfantasy

I read a handful of Gaiman this year and these were 2 of my favorites.
panI struggled with this book because of Richard. The story line is something I was interested in, but I never developed an emotional attachment to the characters. I may have read this in a time I just wasn‘t prepared for it.
pick4.8 ⭐️
Incorporating themes from classic childhood favorites, as well as, a touch of mythology made the story super intriguing and mesmerizing. This has been my third book that I read by Neil Gaiman, and he‘s never disappointed. I chose this book as my December book club read, and while the rest of the members will not agree, I found the story to be so much fun and absolutely worth the read.
pickThis was fun and I enjoyed it a sort of Alice in Wonderland for the modern age. Richard has a normal life until he gets entangled with a mysterious girl he comes across on the street. I liked the weird demi world of London below and found the bonus story of the Marquis and his coat to be the best part. I would definitely read more stories set in this world.

#BookReport
Welp I finished nothing at all this week when my goal was to at least finish Neverwhere but I still made good progress on it and Moby Dick.
#WeeklyForecast
My ultimate goal is to finish Moby Dick, Neverwhere, and Planetfall so that I can go immediately into the upcoming #BookSpin picks happening this week.
#BookReport
I had a week that looks less accomplished than it was because I only finished one book but I caught up with the #MobyDickBR in which I was almost two weeks behind. Vicious was great and I'd already be reading the second one if I didn't have other commitments.
#WeeklyForecast
My goal this week is to finish Neverwhere and Planetfall as well as keep up with Moby Dick.
pickA beautiful and gripping fantasy novel.
Neil Gaiman paints a beautiful fantasy world which is at once magical, intriguing and at once scary, gory and filthy. The use of humour throughout the book is fantastic and leaves you gasping for more.
I love the beginning of the month when all the RNG reading is revealed. This month for my #CalibreRoulette picks I have Neverwhere and Planetfall which both sound good. They also count for my Read All the Books Challenge for the SFFBC on Goodreads.

A few of the books that the title starts with an N
Thank you @MeesesPieces !!! I stayed up late to open it at 12:01 am. Hahaha @wanderinglynn #hauntedhollowswap
I was looking for a pleasant audiobook to listen to while working and found an unabridged author-read recording of this on youtube. What a wonderfully feel-good book to revisit every once in a while. If this isn‘t Young Adult, what do you call fiction for young-at-heart adults, then? 🤔
pickAnother fabulous reread. Neverwhere is a great Halloween season read. And I could listen to Gaiman read anything.
TW: violence and thoughts of suicide
Book 18 for #screamathon & #scarathlon #teamharkness
Book 8 for #outstandingOctober
pickSpent all morning, 3 hrs. 17 minutes, finishing up Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman - walking and cross stitching while doing so. This book was a gift from my elder daughter who is a big Gaiman fan. I gave it 5 stars. I read a review that said it dragged in the middle, but I didn‘t find that at all. I thought it was perfect for the season and full of fantastic creatures! It‘s #6 on my #BookSpinBingo, and my first finish for #OutstandingOctober!
1. Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman. 2. Not a witch yet, I don‘t think, but lots of other “interesting” folk in London below! 3. Halloweentown; Halloweentown III; The Haunted Mansion. #weekendreads
#HorrorSeason @Klou
Day 1: The Descent
In Neverwhere the MC discovered there is a whole city under London. Aptly named London Below. Great book. I might just have to reread it this month. 🧡🧛♀️🖤🎃🧙♀️👻
pickIncredible novel. Gaiman‘s prose sparkles throughout and the characters are richly drawn. The kind of novel that makes you wonder just how the hell the author did it - until you realise it‘s just one in a long line. Top drawer.
I am #awestruck by Gaiman, his characters, settings, and his magic. Details are so important. #aboutaugust
