waiting
I'm so tingly excited, it's like Christmas. My friend and I are going to bike over to the local independent bookstore for their party. I called them up earlier today and the guy answered the phone "Kepler's books and magic" "Did you just say magic?" I asked. "It's a limited time offer." he said. Hope said we should make our bikes look like brooms. I think that might be a little hard. Speaking of brooms, that cover illustration is totally Harry on a broom in a Quidditch pitch. This is the first time I've really looked at it. I'm so excited! And so sad!! All those years, it seems so long that I've been reading these books, I don't want it to be over! I don't want Harry to die!! But I guess I won't find out for awhile, anyway because I've got crazy amounts of work to do this next week. Why did it have to come out now?? So don't tell me anything. Anyone.

Posted by: linnea at July 21, 2007 10:12 PMSheesh. Took me a couple days. But I've been sick so I had a hard time concentrating. Someone called the HP phenomenon the novel's version of a mass media event, as in, everyone's reading the same thing at the same time, which is abnormal for novels. Hope you find time to finish it soon!
