Okay how much did you pay for it?

I went to Borders and got a ticket that said I was number 527 to get the book, which, since I didn't pre-order would be $19.99. Not too bad.

Had an hour to go before they even released the book so I went to Wal-Mart(I know, I know). There was a line of 30 people waiting calmly, I joined the line waited 25 minutes and got the book for $15.78.

Even better. No I am home about to read, while at Border's, I'd be waiting at least a couple of hours to get it.

ACK!

So your money went to a company who runs mom-and-pop stores out of business, instead of a good-natured company who loves books ...

I of course was at my store, calmly handing out books (and getting to play with Dry Ice! Yeah!!!), making espresso drinks, cleaning up after hundreds of screaming fans ... home at 3 am

My book should be arriving from Amazon within the next few hours. Some final pre-arrival predictions, having read only the BBC blog:

Harry is gonna dig Ginny, but it'll take some time for her to come around. (He's an unofficial Weasley as it is, and becoming an "in-law" will solidify his family status.)

Snape will be the new DADA prof.

We will lose a Weasley and Neville, and Dumbledore's status will be up in the air at the end.

Well, if that good natured company that loves books had been able to give me a copy at 1201, I would have bought it there.

ACK!

Yeah, Borders hasn't run mom & pop local bookstores out of business anywhere...

What an awesome homoerotic sex scene between Hermione and that other chick!!!!

Lesbian love:






What???

[joncha]

Too bad she died right after that.

[JohnT]

But what an erotic death!

[Verto]

Finished it earlier today.

[Guynemer]

About 1/3rd of the way thru. Typical thus far; some very funny bits, some vague intimations of what's going on, but nothing is particularly clear yet.

[Verto]

Spoiler:

What an ending.... : (

CBeast :shoot:

Spoiler:

Yup. I wonder if RAB succeeded though.

[Guynemer]

I'm on about page 330, and it hit me like a bolt of lightning.

I think--no, I'm almost certain--the Half-Blood Prince is...

Spoiler:

Dumbledore.

Hoping to have it finished by the time I have to go to work tomorrow...

[Verto]

Spoiler:

Nope. The real Prince is a shocker, but it makes perfect sense. Dumbledore, alas, has another part to play : (
