Harry Potter
July 21. Much excitement. However, smack in the middle of Mathcamp:-( So I guess I will just wait until after to read it? Which means that I must not save all my summer reading until after MC like last year. Bad Erika.
If people die, which they will, I will be very sad. Harry, Ron, Hermione and Ginny must not die. I am rather attached to everyone, actually. I don't think I handle death well.
One advantage to waiting to read it: The past two books I have read the day after they came out, and no one else was finished that soon to discuss them with me. Reading new Harry Potter without discussion is unfulfilling.
And then it will be over. I expect quite a bit of letdown, no matter how good the ending is. But I take heart that I can always read them again and again. And that there are hundreds of other good books in the world.
Yes, it will all be okay.
