I was impressed with Neil Gaiman for doing a great job narrating his own stories. He's one of the few authors that can get away with it. Unfortunately I didn't enjoy the material quite as much. While I've never been a fan of twisted nursery rhymes (translation: I hate them; if you can't come up with original material you shouldn't be writing) Gaiman did a reasonably good job of making the Humpty Dumpty parody palatable (but just). When I got to the completely pointless second story about a troll, I was more than a little disturbed that an author (any author) would feel the need to describe a magical creature's penis. I overlooked it, willing to give Neil the benefit of the doubt. Maybe all his great stories are at the end, I kept telling myself. Unfortunately the very next "young adult" story was about a thirteen year old boy that wanted to touch his best friend's breasts and "maybe even put [his] hand between her legs."

The first short story in the collection has a private investigator trying to find out who pushed Humpty Dumpty off the wall. Apparently, it wasn’t an accident, it was murder. The cliches and one-liners fly like bullets in this opener. This story has a strong “Jasper Fforde” feel to it and is a comical start to the collection. Mama of ten Abbie Halberstadt helps women humbly and gracefully rise to the high calling of motherhood without settling for mediocrity or losing their minds in the process. Motherhood is a challenge. Unfortunately, our worldly culture offers moms little in the way of real help. Mamas only connect to celebrate surviving another day and to share in their misery rather than rejoice in what God has done and to build each other up in hard times. There has a be a better way, a biblical way, for mamas to grow and thrive. The Mayflower was the name of the ship in which the 102 Pilgrims sailed from England to what is now Massachusetts, on the northeastern coast of the USA. The Pilgrims landed on December 11, 1620. Printable Alphabet Letter for Crafts– we have a printable letter craft for every letter of the alphabet A to Z This guy, it turns out, is named Guy. Makes things easier for me because I can't remember names for shit. Guy has turned his life around and is a religious Guy now. He joined some church where they aren't allowed to dance, and I have to say.. I didn't know that was real outside of Footloose. Apparently, dancing is devil's work.

The remaining stories are bound in magical realism. From a group of gourmands who fear they have eaten everything there is to be eaten on the planet, that is until they find out about the mystical Sunbird. To a story about a child who can talk to ghosts, and simply wants to provide the ghost of a woman who was drowned and burned as a witch, a headstone to mark where she is buried. This one just happens to be my favourite. Ferdinand Magellan (1480-1521) was a Portuguese explorer who led the first expedition that sailed around the Earth. The voyage lasted from 1519 until 1522. Magellan was killed towards the end of the voyage.

Since March, Ken and I have been battling to make sure that our businesses keep running. Online business are now more competitive than ever, so we were able to convince Matt to join our PowerQuery.Training which has now been rebranded to being Skillwave and we’re aiming for bigger things now – we’re still in that transition process and working on an even better platform, which has taking us more and more time.After reading the disappointing "L" book, I took a short break. I'm so glad this one didn't disappoint me, otherwise I would have found it even more difficult to continue on with the series. A meteorite is a meteor that has fallen to Earth. Meteorites are made of stone, iron, or stony-iron.

Could have sworn I read all the Graftons, but apparently not this one! or if I did, I COMPLETELY forgot it. Uh. Not a good brain day for me today. Maybe I should try some ginkgo whatsit. A very brief book (which I read cover to cover in 35 minutes) which gives a glimpse into the life of an autistic girl and how she copes with day to day life and the things which us NT people take for granted.Her 'about the author' at the end made me cry. She praised her momma and as she read (I listened to the audiobook read by the author) the Christ-like qualities of her mom I wondered if I would be spoken of like that one day when my kids are grown. Hard question to ask! The Witch's Headstone: THIS DOES NOT COUNT. This is a chapter from The Graveyard Book... this feels weird to read a section from another book. Yes, the book was published after the short story collection was out...but it's only a year difference so I'm working on the assumption that Gaiman knew he was going to publish a whole other book and still put a chapter of it in this one.
