I FINALLY got a call from the library today that Ironside was available, which I picked up after work and now feel slightly guilty for hoarding, seeing as I'm clearly not going to be reading it until sometime next week depending on exactly how traumatized I am. I also broke my book-buying embargo today, as I simply had to give in to a remarkably well-preserved, nice hardcover copy of Maurice in a secondhand bookshop. Don't rightly know when I'll be getting around to that, but hopefully soon. I suppose three hours of commuting time a day is good for something. It's on my shedule to finish OOTP today, I've still got a good 200 pages to go. I too, like many of my flist, experienced that heart-stopping moment of mingled shock and horror (and, well, excitement) upon seeing a sign proclaiming six days until The End of the World As We Know It. I'm a bad bad girl, I've been reading spoilers, such as the alleged chapter titles and opening paragraph of DH. I seriously doubt they're genuine, but ohhhhhhh it does look promising, I'm positively writhing in anticipation, and that didn't sound dirty at all, oh no, goodness I've been reading too much porny fic!

i totally know what you mean about the reading... i have a stack of books from the library, a dvd i borrowed from hasheel ages ago, and a book weston recommended and lended to me all gathering dust on my bookshelf while i tear through ootp. same with spoilers - i've seen the chapters (which seem real) and the opening (which seems real) AND i've read the epilogue (which isn't that spoilery, its fairly predictable, and it sucks, so i'm going to assume its not real because apparently harry names his kid after snape...i call bullshit.)

you know i always love to know what happens at the end of a movie before i watch it. i don't mind spoilers. it won't ruin my enjoyment of spending hours with these characters, y'know?

No, I'd be mad if I really got spoiled, like if some idiot shouted out what happens in the end. But all the ones I've seen, like the chapters, only serve to build the anticipation! If they're even real...

RON DIES!

Well, if you somehow give Ironside to me, you won't be hoarding!

I'm not working tuesday or wednesday (I'm working 1-7 tomorrow), and I'm leaving friday morning. Is there time for two bookswaps here?

Fine, Irena. Prove me wrong. You're going to get to read it before I do anyway.

(But you know I'm right!)

What are you doing for DH release? I have just been informed that I WILL be able to go to the midnight release. I was just wondering if I could tag along.

I will most definately be there! Now the business of figuring out whether or not I should dress-up or not. And if I do, what should I be...

Your favourite character, of course! i'm still trying to decide if I should be Snape...but I think a house-elf would be funnier.
