It's my 3 year anniversary on Tumblr 🥳

I have been jolting down a list of libraries I want to visit around the world either for historical significance, collection, or architecture. How I am just discovered this one I don't know but it's now on the list.

However, my first thought wasn't bleep bleep bleep I need to go there (that came later) but instead it was "damn that's exactly what Aziraphale's personal library would look like"...

Hola Mr. Neil Gaiman,

How do you feel about people recognizing you from the books Good omens and Sandman (most commonly) and not some of your other works? (Like Stardust)

Would you like them to be more popular?

Gracias

For some people I'm the Stardust guy, for some I'm the Coraline guy. For some I'm the American Gods guy or the Neverwhere guy or the Good Omens guy or the Sandman guy or the Anansi Boys guy. For smaller kids I tend to be the Chu's Day guy or the Pirate Stew guy. I never mind what people know me for.

And some of us know him for all the above :)

To all the trans and nonbinary young people out there: you deserve so much better than this. But we live in a world where certain people with bias, including people in positions of power, have decided to target you as a result of their bias. Please know that we at Scarleteen will always affirm your identity and stand up for you and your right to live wholly and without fear, but we also understand that right now, things can feel pretty dang awful and unchangeable. You deserve all the support you can get.

Hello Mr Gaiman, hope your day is going well when you read this.

I was discussing some things about Good Omens with my mom today and we thought about how terrible Aziraphale's bookshop reviews must be on Google. We then proceeded to think about how some of those reviews would be, and I guess they'd be pretty funny. I also imagined a youtuber making a "going to the worst rated bookshop in my city" video.

My question today is: how many stars do you think his bookshop would have, or how would your review be like?

My review would probably be about how hard I'd tried to get there and the books I could see through the window, and my disappointment that it was always closed when I went by -- although I had definitely seen it open going past in a taxi or a bus when I was unable to stop and go inside.

Foiled again.

I walked to my favorite bookstore Fell and Co. only to discover yet again it was closed. This dear readers, as you know, is my one hundredth or is it one thousandth attempt access to this beloved and sacred site with no avail. However, I would have sworn on my life and that of a beloved loved one, that when I passed the shop yesterday by bus on my way to another destination, I saw this shop was open. I believe that the shop is tended by a peculiar being who dons curly white hair and clothing that harkens back to the Victorian age, but I cannot be for certain. For when I thought I glance the figure when admiring the inventory through glass, when I looked again, he was gone. In my various surveillances of the shop, I can tell you it is definitely heaven for those who worship the printed word. As far as I can surmise the walls are lined with first additions of the most prized text of all time. But rest assured, though peculiar this shop is never seems open for business except for when I cannot stop to investigate, I am more than determined to someday walk into the hallow space, even if it’s after I pass from this earthly realm and I am but a ghostly whisper of a being lurking in the corners long after midnight.

You know that Neil Gaiman is a great writer and storyteller, because he approaches this question seriously from a logistic, linguistic, and character level
