Neil Gaiman’s AMERICAN GODS wins 1 Book 1 Twitter vote!
In a challenge to get the whole world reading the same book at the same time Jeff Howe, author of Crowdsourcing and a contributing editor at Wired magazine, launched ‘1 Book 1 Twitter’ in May. With a dedicated Twitter account - @1B1T2010 - Howe started hot debate about which title would be chosen and voting took place throughout April.
We’re delighted to say that Neil Gaiman’s American Gods was victorious! Regular conversations have since been taking place about the book, using the hash tag #1b1t and Neil has been helping spread the word. He not only made sure that his publishers around the world knew about the campaign, but Neil also took part in the ‘Neil Gaiman question hour’ on Twitter, answering questions from keen American Gods Twitter readers using a dedicated hashtag.

Stardust Film Synopsis
"Stardust," based on the best-selling graphic novel by Neil Gaiman and Charles Vess, takes audiences on an adventure that begins in a village in England and ends up in places that exist in an imaginary world. A young man named Tristan (Charlie Cox) tries to win the heart of Victoria (Sienna Miller), the beautiful but cold object of his desire, by going on a quest to retrieve a fallen star. His journey takes him to a mysterious and forbidden land beyond the walls of his village. On his odyssey, Tristan finds the star, which has transformed into a striking girl named Yvaine (Claire Danes).
However, Tristan is not the only one seeking the star. A king’s (Peter O’Toole) four living sons – not to mention the ghosts of their three dead brothers – all need the star as they vie for the throne. Tristan must also overcome the evil witch, Lamia (Michelle Pfeiffer), who needs the star to make her young again. As Tristan battles to survive these threats, encountering a pirate named Captain Shakespeare (Robert De Niro) and a shady trader named Ferdy the Fence (Ricky Gervais) along the way, his quest changes. He must now win the heart of the star for himself as he discovers the meaning of true love.
