Hurray for *Half Blood*!

Jon:

Lucky you! It doesn't come out here until tomorrow! Unfortunately, we will be going on vacation. Hayley wants this one too! I hope it's a good read! :-D

Enjoy -

Ok, my secret is out...

We have a house elf that does all of the laundry, ironing, cooking and cleaning here!

Can't wait for Saturday, Book 6 is on it's way here!
 
Oh, you are so lucky, Jon!

I really prefer the cover of the British edition to the American edition. I have never been a fan of the illustrator of the American edtions, Mary GrandPre.

Being out of town, I couldn't be at my usual independent bookseller tonight. Wish I was, but oh and well. Just have to pick it up somewhere else. Fortunately, it shouldn't be extremely hard to find (I hope!)

I wouldn't mind living in the Wizarding world...unless it meant giving up appliances as we love them!

YOU MUGGLES!

YAY Jon! Shhh! Don't tell me who the HBP is.

My guess is either Prof. Lupin, Dumbledore or Godric Gryffindor himself. Watch it turn out to be Harry. That would twist everyone's world. But the title does say "and the" so let's see.

Also the cover on yours looks different than ours. Judging from that cover, looks like Harry and Dumbledore are in some deep sh1t, err, I mean magic lol. On the US cover it shows them peering into the pensieve.
 
The good news and the bad news......

I went to the local grocery store this morning to pick up a couple of disposable underwater cameras for the vacation, and guess what was right there when I walked in the door? Yep, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. No lines, no muss, no fuss. I picked up a copy for Hayley, a couple of novels for Tom and I, and thought we were on our way to a peaceful beach vacation. NOT!!

We made the trek into Houston, went through security, etc., and were on the plane, belted and ready to take off when they gave us the announcement that our flight to Grand Cayman was cancelled! Darn that hurricane Emily! We've rescheduled for next week, but that doesn't mean that we won't start some good reads this week!

Oh well, wish us better luck next Saturday!
 
Up to page 42 already... but I really think I should put it down and read books 3, 4 and 5 first LOL. (So Greg, you had better get reading before I catch you up LOL).

Jason/Lawrence,

What are the covers on the American editions like? Here the covers have the same title and boxes at the top and bottom, just a different colour, picture in the middle, and different name (obviously :-D).

Awww no Venus!!! Don't you just hate it when things like that happen? BTW where abouts is Grand Cayman? I did a multimap search and it didn't come up with any results! :-(. What reading material did Austin pack? I'm always guilty of packing a user manual or two and perhaps a few appliance brochures whenever I go away LOL. Hopefully the Wilder vacation will be a success the week after, although it is a shame not to experience how your clothes feel in the washer LOL.

Hmmm...

I was just thinking... the way we have our desks seems to express our personality! I was looking at the other objects on the desk beside the Harry Potter book, and the MP3 player/CD highlights my huge interest in music, the phone being right by my hand highlights my joy of gossipping, PS2 controller/games (anybody recognise any of the games? :-)) highlight one of my other main interests - gaming, and the mousturiser highlights my interest in toiletry products... and believe me I need as much as I can on this rock of a face LOL.

Oh, that's enough of me blabbering now! Have a good night all,

Take care,

Jon :-)

First two stores didn't have the book. One of them, a Wal*Fart, was sold out of the book, but had the cd's. At more than double the price. No way on earth was I going to pay nearly 50.00 USD for the CD's.

Grabbed my copy at StopNShop, a biiig chain grocery here in the Northeast.

I like it, but it has opened in a much more dark manner.

I ordered my audiobook CD copy from Amazon.

I'm staying OFF of the Harry Potter message boards until I finished listening to the cd.

I have a feeling this is gonna be darker and scarier than OOP.

I hope Tonks doesn't get hurt or (gasp!) killed in this one.
 
Tonks is not killed.

She's in LOVE!

I've read it 2.5 times already.

It's good, but not the best so far. For me, the best so far is book four, Goblet of Fire.

Jason, your guesses as to the identity of the Half Blood Prince are SO off.

DON'T SPOIL IT

Whoa, you read HBP 2.5 times already? No way.

I just got my audio cd's yesterday. So now my commute and my ipod is filled with magic. (All 6 books YAY!)

My Tonks is in LOVE? Cool. Wait.. don't tell me. I wanna find out for myself. I rooted for her all throughout OOP. I was hoping she'd make it through Book 6.
