"If you stay here, you can have whatever you want."
Coraline sighed. "You really don't understand, do you?" she said. "I don't want whatever I want. Nobody does. Not really. What kind of fun would it be if I just got everything I ever wanted just like that, and it didn't mean anything? What then?"
Haha...This is quite logical. I completely understand. But I still want what I want. What's the point of wanting it if you don't really want it? Haha.. over-thinking as usual. Fab teaser.

ReplyDeleteI want to read this book so badly! I'm FINALLY reading my first book by Neil Gaiman (Neverwhere) now for my gender issues class. I'm only 100 pages in, but I can definitely say that it won't be the last book I read by him!
ReplyDeleteAlexis: *smile* I get what you mean. You gotta want.
ReplyDeleteMegan: Hi Megan! Thank you so much! I'm so honored. I'm going to head over, comment, and add it to my Accolades page.

Marce: He was in a way too easy right? Not enough challenge :)
Tina & Melissa: I didn't like the movie much the first time I saw it but I did love the audio. Odd right? Review coming soon and Tina girl I feel you on those button eyes ;)
Natalie: For gender issues? Interesting! I'll have to keep an eye out for your review. This is my first Neil Gaiman experience.

ReplyDeleteMissie: Yuppers :)
ReplyDeleteJade: Thanks :) Review coming soon :)

I've never read this book, but I've seen the movie! Very true advice in the teaser.
ReplyDeleteawesome teaser! Neil Gaiman is so imaginative in a gritty, dark fairytale way! Brilliant. Also thanks so much for your comments on my blog! I'm sorry I haven't frequented as much as I would've liked lately!

So true. If only more parents understood that.
ReplyDeleteReally good book.
Theresa: You've got a good point there :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great teaser. I wanted to read this one, but when the movie came out the trailer creeped my daughter out so much she didn't even want the book in the house.
ReplyDeleteCute quote! It's very true, although sometimes I still wish I could have everything I've ever wanted. Lol.
ReplyDeleteCarolsnotebook: I'm rewatching the movie now. My goal is to do a small comparison with my review. Question: How old is your daughter?
ReplyDeletePenelope: I feel ya! Maybe not monetary things but definitely other things :)
Oh, Coraline! Neil Gaiman is an absolute favorite of mine, but I found that book to be one of his creepiest. Still get shivers when I think of it. A great choice for this season, though! Hope you're enjoying it!
ReplyDeleteCecelia: Ooo one of the creepiest? Nice. Which is your favorite? :)
ReplyDeleteOh this movie creeped me out. Are you enjoying the book?
ReplyDeleteJoy: LOL I know what you mean. I just watched rewatched it. :) I found I actually really loved the audiobook. Review coming soon.

ReplyDeleteCari: Thanks :)
ReplyDeleteFor a kid, that one is wiser than most adults...
ReplyDeleteCherry: She is rather wise beyond her years yes :)
