on Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
Got my copy at 7 in the morning last Saturday. Never expecting the bookstore to be full of people since the last time when I grabbed HBP I was the only one in the bookstore at 7am, I went only on my house clothes. XD But then I waited in line for 15 minutes before I finally have the book at my hands. They gave a free bookmark, sticker and cookies. The sticker and bookmark are HP related… The cookies, not. X_X
Finished the book in two days. Well, technically, it’s two reading days since I wasn’t able to read the whole day yesterday and just stayed up the night til 5 in the morning to finish it. But I disgress. The book was great. It might be my third favorite book in the series. First would be PoA, followed by GoF and then more than likely, DH. I liked how Rowling ended the book. It has closure, meaning: “Finally, there really won’t be any other Harry Potter books!” Don’t get me wrong because I really love the books but if this drags on, it might loose its brilliance for me. Now, I wonder what her next series will be and if it’ll be as big as how Harry Potter is right now. I don’t know, HP has a big cult following that it could spill into her next series *shrugs* But we’ll see.
( Cutting because I’m a good girl and I don’t want you killing me because of spoilers… XD And these thoughts are really scattered. ^^; )
I know I missed a lot more but I’m tired. My head aches either because of too much sweet, too much DS, too litte sleep or too much Potter. Take your pick. ^^;

What the… Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows could now be pre-ordered from Amazon?! XD I’m sooo late in knowing this.
And there’s a deluxe edition and the normal hardbound one. So, what’s the difference? I’d love to pre-order my copy but I don’t know if I should pre-order from Amazon or our local bookstore. I’ll be pre-ordering at Amazon if I decided to get the deluxe one. But if I’m going to pre-order just the hardbound one, I’m better off I think at my local bookstore. But still, I’d love to get my hands on the deluxe edition even without knowing what it’s advantage over the normal hardbound edition. XD
Dilemma.. dilemma.. dilemma…

finished. two days. finished reading harry potter book 6 last monday. two days is pretty long for the book. and no, i didn’t lose sleep over it. i was still able to sleep and still able to eat. hoping to finish it in a day but then i had chores on the first day of reading it. anyway, i pretty much liked this one better than HP:OotP. i hated the angsty!Harry from HP:OotP. good that he’s less angsty right now. but still it isn’t HP:PoA or even HP:GoF for me. those two are still at the top of my HP book list with HP:PoA leading. ^^ sometimes though i wish rowling would just go back to harry potter being a children’s book… the harry potter that i love. right now, i can’t tell if these past two books are still under the children’s book category.
( HP:HBP spoilers… thoughts, recollections, theories, scattered and random blabberings under the cut… )
edit: ( and i just totally forgot about R.A.B )
