*SCREECHES* LOOK WHAT CAME TODAY!!! 🎉🎉🎉

After the momentous good news (SEASON 2!!!) I finally broke down and ordered this! 😍

It's honestly so much more beautiful than I was expecting! Other tv companions I've gotten over the years were thin, flimsy cash grabs. Not so here! 😁 Hardcover, over 300 pages, and filled from cover to cover with beautiful illustrations, photographs, and so much information! I can't wait to really dive in! 💕📚💕

wanderinglynn Ooh, I‘ve looked at it but thought it wouldn‘t be worth it based on previous similar items. 3y
AFrostCauseReads That looks amazing! I‘m already online shopping for my own, lol 😈 3y

TFW all your holds come in (and you‘re lucky enough to work across the street from the library so taking a ten minute break to walk over and pick them up is no big thing) 🥰 #libraryhaul

Really looking forward to the new Wayward Children book (as well as the tagged)!

So, I actually watched the tv series before listening to this book. In my defense I started the show without knowing it was a book beforehand and I can‘t resist David Tennant 😍. The book was everything I hoped and dreamed it was. It was the same as the show but of course with more details. Definitely one of my favorite reads. There was sass, friendship, danger, love, and comedy. What more could you ask for?

Jari-chan Who could resist David Tennant anyways? 😉 5y

The actor who plays Warlock is the opposite of his character, and reading him talk about the food fight scene is just great.

Good Omens/Aziraphale‘s Bookshop is a book lover‘s paradise. I really do hope they don‘t Da,age any of the real stuff when they burnt it down.

wanderinglynn I know! I would love to spend a day (or thirty) in his bookshop! ❤️ 5y
GingerAntics @wanderinglynn oh yeah, especially now that I‘ve read about all the little details and layers within the shop that you really have to be looking for on screen. I‘d love to get a good view of the window in the ceiling. 5y

TobeyTheScavengerMonk This is great! 5y
GingerAntics @TobeyTheScavengerMonk when I first saw that scene, I half wondered if David somehow had a hand to play in that role, because it‘s so him. I guess in an informal way, it is him. I agree with Gaiman, not every actor could pull off that scene without it just being campy. 5y

SOOOOOO many tears in the first chapter and still 14 pages left. I didn‘t expect to cry so much during this first chapter after the pure joy of the show (or while not PMSing). Someone is clearly cutting a crate of onions somewhere near by. That must be it.

GingerAntics This one sentence (well, two, but it should be one) made me perfectly content to wait a year between the end of filming and the release of the show. He had a big job, and he nailed it. Neil Gaiman is an amazing friend and he definitely made Terry proud. 5y
Karisa Watched the first episode (determined to pace myself). So good! 😀 5y
GingerAntics @Karisa I watched them all in a six hour binge when they dropped a few hours early last night. I know the first trip through is taking everything in. Now I‘m strolling through them to get all the little things you can miss on the sheer joy of the first watch. 5y

Karisa @GingerAntics It truly is good enough for multiple watchings! Good point. 😀 5y
GingerAntics @Karisa I heard before that Gaiman made a cameo appearance somewhere. Then I read very recently (probably in the tagged book) that both Gaiman and Pratchett filmed a scene with both of them as police officers before Terry died. So I‘m really keeping an eye out for police officers this second time round. (edited) 5y
Karisa @GingerAntics Cool! Stan Lee style. 💗 5y

That is a total deal.
This is really how I approach all adaptations which frequently gets me in trouble with other die hard fans. That‘s not to say I enjoy or even like every adaptation, I just seem to be more open to changes and differences than a lot of other people.

I love these two so much. Maybe they are the original bromance and Aziraphel and Crowley just reflect them. The question is, which one would be the angel and which one would be the demon? 🤔

GingerAntics @Andrew65 so do it. It‘s spot on, as always. 5y
Branwen Sooooo. I have been binge watching this show like freaking crazy. I think I might be a bit obsessed! 🤔 It's just SO GOOD! 💕👼😈 This tv companion looks equally amazing and I'm contemplating getting a copy! 5y
GingerAntics @Branwen I‘m right there with you. The show is so good!!! I‘ve seen all the episodes twice, the first three episodes I‘ve seen three times, AND I found Gaiman!!! I finally found his cameo which is actually amazingly funny, seeing that he doesn‘t say a word and all you see is the back of his curly head. 💙💙💙 5y
Branwen @GingerAntics AAAAAHHHHH that's so incredible! I just finished the series tonight for the first time and I'm contemplating starting a rewatch tommorrow! I have just been sitting here like, what do I do with my life now? *laughs* I need to find the hidden Gaiman! Is the tv companion worth getting, you think? It seems like you're really enjoying it! 5y
GingerAntics @Branwen if you‘re obsessed with the show, yes. There are so many little tidbits and BTS things. Someone who has eagle eyes told me where to find him. Now that I know he‘s there, I hade no idea how I missed him. I‘ll tell you if you want, or you can do a rewatch first. 5y
GingerAntics @Branwen now if I could just get “Onward Christian Soldiers” out of my head now. I‘m half tempted to go the “Baby Shark” or “MMMBop” route. 5y
Branwen @GingerAntics Hmmmmm. Maybe I'll watch it again and then if I STILL don't find him I'll ask for help! AHAHAHA! I know, right?! I'd go with Baby Shark! 🦈 5y
GingerAntics @Branwen I dunno, I quite like MMMBop, especially the String Theory version. That‘s what I did. After my second trip through without seeing him I was rather frustrated and pretty sure I was looking in the wrong places. I tried googling it, but nothing came up. Then someone told me one of our friends found him, so I asked her. Give it one more trip through. If you need help after that I‘ll gladly tell you. 5y
