After my last few posts, I feel that I need to start this post by quoting Monty Python… “And now for something completely different..!”
It’s been a cold weekend in the Seattle area, and we’ve looked out the window on a beautiful, frosty landscape each morning. At the library yesterday, I found Neil Gaiman’s, Odd and the Frost Giants, and today I read it in one sitting and loved it! It’s the perfect read for a frosty morning! It really is one that could become a classic, and would be wonderful to read aloud as a family, or to a group of school kids (my 6th graders would have loved it!). It’s filled with fun and humor, of course, and is my new favorite Neil Gaiman book…for the moment.
A Fondness For Reading 
This is one I keep reaching for and then changing my mind at the last minute. I really need to get it!
And it is SO incredibly cold here right now! 🙂

Kristen, it’s SO cold! I just wasn’t prepared [mentally] for this change in temperature. We had such a long, mild Fall…

Okay, I’m completely there with you on the COLD. Down here in Federal Way we have a predicted high of 33 degrees. WHAT?!
I’ve been meaning to read this one – Neil Gaiman never strikes out with me. Nice review!

Brrrr, Celia!! It just seems to get colder and colder! I hope you’re staying warm at your place. You will love Odd when you get a chance to read it.
You’ll love it, too, Kelly! I really didn’t know anything about it, but figured it would be fun since it was a Neil Gaiman. I didn’t expect to love it! Enjoy!

Bitter cold best describes it here. Especially the night time in the low teens. Daytime in the low twenties. Brrrrrr
