It's been made official. The release date for the final installment of Harry Potter. Such a funny thing, this Potter phenomenon. I will most likely have the book in hand that morning and spend the remainder of my day reading it, letting Ben take over the kids (nursing responsibilites excepted) for the duration since thank goodness it will be a Saturday! I'll then hand it off the Ben that night before crashing into bed, head full of information that can't be shared until he has finished the book himself. Oh the torture! It makes me shiver just thinking about it.
The only problem with having raised my kids to be voracious readers is that I'll have to share Harry with them on July 21. Bummer. Maybe I'll buy it at 12:00 midnight and just stay up all night.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the announcement!
Our life will shut down on that day, too ... much to the kids dismay. Quiet, hold on, I am busy, leave me alone, get it yourself ... parenting will be at its worst I am sure.
ReplyDeleteWe normally buy a copy and then also reserve it at the library (if we are on the ball we are normally in the first round of the 100's they will buy) so we can read at the same time :) !!
We gave up sharing a few books ago, and just buy 2 copies. We actually wound up with 3 copies of book 5! Rebekah will race through hers, and then Rick or I will take over. It's odd to think that this adventure Bek and I have shared will be completed before I ever start reading them to my younger kids!
ReplyDeleteYes, that's our dilemna. Do you wait and read it together or just buy five copies?
ReplyDeleteBen and I will have the exact same day.
