Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows

I'm finished!

Are you?

Reading Update

I've made some progress in the last two hours on my reading of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Now I'm up to page 173!

Still a good read. :) I think my eyes are starting to glaze over though. I can definitely see the advantages to Books on CD at this point.

This is kind-of exciting for me because this is the first Harry Potter book that I've read when it first came out. I was several years late into the whole Harry Potter thing, so three or four books were already out. And even though I was dying to read the new books when they first came out, I never wanted to buy them so I always waited until somebody loaned them to me, or I could get them from the library, or... waited until they came out in paperback so that I could buy them. That was always a long wait! So this is kind-of fun.

Harry Potter Day

I think that today, barring the excited screams that occurred around midnight, is probably one of the quietest days that has occurred on earth in a very long time.

Everyone is reading.

Yes, the day has finally arrived - the day we have all been waiting for - the release of book 7 in the Harry Potter series - Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

And yes, I am reading too. We were able to pick up The Princess' copy of the book from the library this morning. I've been reading since about 1:15 (for almost two hours), yet, I am only on page 93. And supposedly I'm a fast reader.

It's good. But don't worry, I'm not going to post any spoilers here.

Fun fact though - the back page of my copy of the book has all the printing information - you know, art work info, typeface used, stuff like that. And guess what else? Mine says it was printed and bound at R.R. Donnelly in Harrisonburg, Virginia! That is simply awesome. (For those of you that don't know, that's where we used to live and work for multiple years).

If this is true, Crawfordsville, IN, didn't get ALL the books.

I've got to go - I've still got about 660 pages left to read.

Are you reading too?
