Harry Potter and the Half-blood Prince


HPDay1 Posted by Picasa

Don't call us, we are busy reading. No time for sleep or chores. Late into the night Friday night I received two messages from Amazon, stating that the special copy I had pre-ordered for us would be delayed until the 19th via USPS. So I suggested standing on line at the local Border's for the midnight party and book sale (30% off). Gotta have our Harry Potter 6.

That accomplished and tucked in at 3AM. We got a late start on our reading jag Saturday. And lo, the doorbell rang insistently around noon. Little barking dog did not scare the postman away. He was determined to deliver our copy of Harry Potter from Amazon. Cool! Now we have two copies.

The lesson: well there are at least a few good reasons to celebrate HPDay2005,
1) JK R rules the earth
2) Amazon and Border's stock should be soaring
3) Friends will get in line to read your extra copy
4) Your rainbow boas can entertain the other folks in the midnight bookstore queue
5) It is really hot outside, so chilling and reading fits the weather just fine
