Strollerderby

I will not only be there, but my friends and I are renting a limo and driving around to the different parties and making fools of ourselves in our costumes.  I love Harry but I am glad this is the last book.  I am tired of waiting.

My husband is doing an Ironman triathlon the day after this book comes out, so I won't be able to go to my local bookstore and hang out with all my nerd friends.

But did I pre-order a copy at the closest boookstore I could find to our hotel in Lake Placid?  I DID.  Because I am a Harry Potter junkie.

I resisted for a long time.  I thought "eh.  Kids' books."  But I worked in a bookstore and the first movie was coming out, so I figured I might as well see what all the fuss was about.  I got all four books (on loan from the store, so FREE), conveniently got the flu the same weekend and read all four of them in the span of three days.  TWICE.

I obviously have some kind of problem.  When the fifth book came out, we had a race at the bookstore to see who could read it the fastest (and find out who dies) and I won - I read it in just over 27 hours.  Of course, I had to go re-read it a week later after the hallucinations went away.
