With the holidays upon us I have been in a happy reading space. I had long wanted to read The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman and I’m glad I finally did. It’s a delightful read with a rather different perspective of things.
When you’re brought up in a graveyard with ghosts for friends you stop fearing death. So what can scare you then? Are there things worse than death?
Sharing a passage from the book for Teaser Tuesday – the brain child of Should Be Reading.
Silas said, “Out there, the man who killed your family is, I believe, still looking for you, still intends to kill you.”
Bod shrugged. “So?” he said. “It’s only death. I mean, all of my best friends are dead.”
Drop by for a review of this gorgeous book, coming up soon.
If you fancy joining in, here’s how…
• Grab your current read
• Open to a random page
• Share two teaser sentences from somewhere on that page
• BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS!
• Share the title and author so other TT participants can add the book to their TBR lists if they like your teasers!
Which was the last book that kept you up through the night?

Oh I love this book and I love Silas. He’s supposed to be a monster but what a heart he has.
This is the first graphic novel that I ever read and I loved it.
