Booking Through Thursday: Just Wild About Harry

This blog was mentioned in the Ravelry yarnwords group, offering questions on Thursdays to answer on your own blog about various bookish topics. Why not? Here goes - my answers are in bold:

1. Okay, love him or loathe him, you’d have to live under a rock not to know that J.K. Rowling’s final Harry Potter book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, comes out on Saturday… Are you going to read it? Um, that's a rhetorical question, right? Yes!!!

2. If so, right away? Or just, you know, eventually, when you get around to it? Are you attending any of the midnight parties? Right away! We are going to the midnight party at our local B&N. I never bothered with any of the previous parties, but we decided to go since this is the last one. Hopefully, we'll get our book and out of line fairly quickly, since we've got reserved copies and my husband is going to go pick up our wristbands first thing tomorrow morning. We're getting TWO copies because he doesn't want to have to take turns reading - a waste of money, perhaps, but he's a bit obsessed...

3. If you’re not going to read it, why not? n/a - and I can't imagine why anyone wouldn't! Muggles!

4. And, for the record… what do you think? Will Harry survive the series? What are you most looking forward to? I'm an optimist - I think Harry will survive. I can't really say I'll be glad to have a resolution since it means the end of the story (and nobody wants good stories to end!). I look forward to just reading and enjoying it, as always, and the discussions that inevitably will follow.



May as well add some random photos - these were taken just a few weeks ago; Cole was getting into mischief while I was making silver dollar hots for breakfast (recipe in Joy of Cooking), so I asked if he would like to help - another rhetorical question! He helped put the ingredients together, stir things up, and even pour the little pancakes on the griddle (we were very careful with that part, of course). He loved cooking and was very attentive to my directions. He was so pleased with his work!

(Yes, those are my "pajamas" - men's XL T-shirts are a cheap solution just now to my lack of pjs that fit over the baby bump... also, yes, I had already showered, fixed my hair, put on makeup, and then got back into my pajamas. I had nowhere to be just then, might as well be cool and comfortable!)
