Well?

Should be some nice reading at Lost Prairie. Oh who am I kidding... like I'm gonna read at Prairie. Okay, AFTER LP.

Okay, AFTER LP.



It comes out on the 21st. I'm sure I'll be done with my first reading by the 23rd at the latest, and then we'll have to listen to the audiobook on the drive up there.

So if you're gonna wait til after LP to read it and you don't want any spoilers... you probably won't want to talk to me during the boogie. :ph34r:

Well, if Amazon.com actually has it on my doorstep on the 21st (the last two that I've preordered have been delivered on the release date) then I may try to blow through it that weekend and the following week. I was thinking it was immedately before the boogie but there's a whole week in between!

I couldn't possibly sacrifice time with the bytch at LP!

I take pride in possibly being the only literate Westerner to not have read any of the books, or seen any of the movies.



I used to feel the same way. Wasn't gonna buy into the hype. They couldn't possibly be worth reading if the whole world was so into them. And then someone tricked me into listening to the first one on a road trip a couple years ago...

You have no idea what you're missing. They really are that good.

My mom was asking what to get my son for his birthday. I was thinking a reserved copy of this! Or would that be mean for a 10yo! Have to wait 5 months for the actual present?



I think that would be an awesome gift, but maybe she can give him something for now, too (one of the Harry Potter DVDs, maybe?).

You're the best Krisanne! I didn't realize there was a release date already. I just ordered my copy.B|

If anyone is looking for me on July 21st, I'll be standing at my mailbox with the excitement of the first day of kindergarten.:)

Amazon.com was kind enough to email me this morning to let me know of this opportunity.:D

And it is, not surprisingly, already #1 in sales on the site...

Yep, I used to make fun of them, too. Read one on a flight to Ohio a few years ago...liked it so much I bought the second in the airport gift shop...:$

My daughter (believe me, she gets it from her mother) is one of those who believes that it's Satanism in disguise and won't let her kids read/see HP.
My reality and yours are quite different.

I'm sure you can squeeze it in before the boogie!

I picked up the last one at midnight-ish, started reading when I got home, slept for a few hours, picked the book up again in the morning and didn't put it down until I finished at around 10:00 that night. :$ The next day I was discussing it with my niece and nephew who had pretty much done the same thing.

I don't think I'll do the midnight thing again, but I'm sure I'll read the book pretty much straight through as soon as I get my hands on it! But maybe not- its the last one. I might want to stretch it out a little longer!
