OMG, I'm Old
We are coming home from an exhausting, challenging vacation, and we are in a hotel room, halfway back to the ol' homestead. I can see two stores from the front of the hotel which will be open to sell HP 7 at midnight. I have a copy on reserve at one of those stores.
I am too tired to even stay up late enough to go get it. The mister is too, and I won't ask him to do it when he has to drive tomorrow. Plus, if I'm sleeping, I can't read it, can I? Might as well wait until tomorrow morning, on the way out of town. Pick it up, read it in the car.
I have bought 4, 5, and 6 at midnight book fests at local bookstores. (Didn't start reading the series until after 3 came out.) I read 5 completely through the night of and the day after it was released. I read 6 straight through after coming home with it, going to bed dead tired and pregnant at 5:15 am. (I had to stop reading it twice to go throw up, since I had morning sickness until, you know, the birth.)
But the vacation and chasing after my 20 month old has defeated me. Damn you, time. Damn you to hell. Harry, I'll catch your act tomorrow morning. And I'm pretty much officially going off the internets until after I'm done with the book, which hopefully will be before we even get home, because I read lightning-fast, dontchaknow.
