The release party was fun-ish. I had a killer Hermione costume and merrily passed out S.P.E.W. buttons while knitting in the cafe. My friend was working, so I only got to see her intermittently at breaks; otherwise it was me and the other faithfuls who were there at five o'clock to wait. [I read the book Ice Haven, a graphic novel, by the same guy who did Ghost World while I was there. That deserves its own post on another day, but if I never get to it, at least its been given passing mention.]
I read the first two hundred pages that night, but was unable to read anymore until late Saturday night due to much solo driving and a wedding. I hoped I could soldier through the night and finish it, but alas, I fell asleep after a mere fifty pages. So, I skipped church and have read the day away (Ooo. Wouldn't some Christians just want to burn me at the stake?!)
And now, tears only now beginning to dry, I ask...
- So, Snape really is evil? The red herring, isn't actually a herring?
- Who is R.A.B.? (Surely there's a list of every possible character from the other books already out there.)
oh, Mom's done, so for now I'll just ask the biggest question....
When is the next one coming out?

Erickson! Why would you put that last bit about Snape on-line so soon after the book came out? I'm only halfway done with it and hadn't gotten that far!
You've just reminded me of when a girl got up in elementary school and told the entire story of MY GIRL for Show and Tell -- including the ending. When he dies.
I am so sorry! I forgot that you probably wouldn't be reading the book in France. I feel special that reading my blog took presedence over Harry Potter.
Somebody ruined Braveheart for me while complaining about how somebody had told her that he dies. That sucks.
Don't feel too bad. I had a sneaking suspicion after reading those first few chapters.
I look forward to finding out how all is revealed.
