Each book has been looked for with much anticipation, but the actual process of buying the books is a pain in me arse and me purse! I have 2 readers - so that means 2 books off the bat. Then of course, they started reading them in England, so that means after they purchase and read the US edition(reading will be completed in less than a day as they read really fast), we will have to post a cheque to England for a friend to get us two (2) of the UK editions and post them back. Gets quite expensive. Thats before we take in account the paperbacks!

The book and I are already in a struggle for power.
The book comes out on july 21st, my birthday is july 28th.
I'm a pretty fast reader, but with it being so close to my birthday I don't know if I'll have the time.
I am turning the big 2-0, and everyones been telling me to keep that week clear they have plans for me.
So I'm conflicted.

You're too old to read kids books now anyways. Put down the book and pick up the bottle. You've only got one more year of drinking ahead of you before it's not cool anymore.

Turn off your phone and read for two days straight. That's what I do. When the last book came out, I changed my voicemail to say "This is Rose and I am currently reading Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. Please leave me a message and I'll get back to you when I finish it." a surprising number of people did, in fact, try to get ahold of me, and they all giggled on their messages when they realized I had been serious when I said I would be unreachable. But reading most of the day for a day and a half, I was done. Then I read it again, a bit more leisurly.
And it's not a ruttin kid's book. Harry is 17, full grown by the standards of his world, and facing trauma and death. It stopped being a series for kids when Cedric died and Harry became and angsty teen yelling at people and thinking about girls. So there
Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.

I whole heartedly agree,Thanks for the tip.
I'll try it but they might break down my door and kidnap me.
Can't wait to see the next movie,I'm goin' the day it opens.

1. I am older than you. And wiser. Respect your elders.
2. Because my Uncle told me they were good after I spent years making fun of my friend who was older than you who was reading kids books. He lent me the first three and I was very suprised.
3. Read books because you think they're good, or because somebody who's opinion you respect says they're good, not because everybody else is reading them. Most of the paper used to make the books on the bestseller lists would be better used as toilet paper. Particularly anything on Oprah's book of the month club. If you don't fear whatever "thing-o-the-day" the masses are flocking to, you should at least be wary of it going in.
4. Gotta admit that crazy little pothead is one cool cat.
5. Seriously, go get drunk on your birthday. I still do it now, but it's magic waines just a little more every year since it's become legal for me to do so.

1.I agree, there are a few authors other people have turned me onto like Zane and Eric Jerome Dickey. But those authors books SHOULD NOT BE READ BY CHILDREN.(Just a warning)But I read anything that peaks my attention.
2.I plan on it.
