Review Week 15


Quote from Neil Gaiman
The graphic that caught my eye from this past week was this quote from Neil Gaiman.  I have been so engrossed in his book Norse Mythology and seeing a quote from him in the announcements got me excited. It is an awesome quote, too.  Imagination is so incredibly important.
