Graveyard Book was pretty good. I liked it a lot better than Coraline, anyway. In general I prefer his adult fiction to his children's books. For some reason all his children's stuff reads to me like he started off with an adult book, then he went back and snipped out all the sex and gore. There's a patchiness to it, I guess? I don't know. I got a Kindle for Christmas, and it's pretty much changed my life. I LOVE that thing. I'm aiming to read 100 books this year, so it's going to help a lot.
I'm restraining my annoyance at Emma's obliviousness by realizing that I'd be equally skeptical of Henry's story if I were in her shoes. But COME ON, lady. Even I would look around after a while and go, "Hm. You know what? Something IS screwy about this town."
Yay, more Ruby/Gold! And yeah, I'm trying to knock out as many prompt fills for them as I can before canon blows the idea of them out of the water. Especially since I'm not too keen on Dr. Whale being the Big Bad Wolf, if that does turn out to be the case. Hopefully it features more Stealthy. Stealthy needs his own miniseries. And it's taking all my willpower not to add "Smurf" to the end of the dwarf names. I don't even know why, but my brain keeps confusing the two.
Hmm, I think I'll download it and watch it on the car trip tomorrow. We've got a five hour drive up to NYC, so there'll be plenty of time for a movie or two.
