Duh!

With all the excitement about the new Harry Potter book (just purchased my own at Costco this morning), it seems like this weekend could be quiet, with everyone hunkered down, reading the final wrap-up of the adventures of Harry, Ron, and Hermione. However -- I have a dilemma. I am a huge reader, and I have a massive (literally) stack of books I have checked out from the library. Most of them are new books that I put on reserve, and they are books I really want to read -- and they all have due dates that can't be extended. Harry doesn't -- I can take as long as I need. But I want to read Harry Potter right now! ARGHHH!! I am struggling very hard not to flip to the back few pages and check out the ending! Sigh. So I"m reading nothing which is clearly not the right answer.

Jan--I love that you are such a reader! I just bought Harry this morning and it's taking everything I have not to ignore my children and go for it...Good luck girl! Enjoy your books!

I have to admit that I actually flipped to the last page and saw who was talking. WHY DID I DO THIS?!?!?!?! LOL. Oh well, I am still intrigued to see how everything turns out and will definitely read it.

BTW - Brad was kicked off this week. He is a Sous Chef from AZ. It was between him and Bonnie and I was really sort of surprised that she didnt go home. Anyway - I would like to see Josh go home soon (he is the one who is always messing up and Ramsey keeps telling him he cant cook). It is a fun show. Glad I'm not the only one who thinks so. :)

i am a huge bookworm as well. i have a stack of books from the library sitting by my bed that needs to be read, but I couldn't bear waiting to read Harry. So, I've put my other books on hold, hoping I'll be able to read them when I'm done with Harry. I vote for your reading Harry Potter!

go for harry potter. get it over with and then go back and read your others. you can always re-request them. i am telling you to do this, cause its what i'm doing myself :)

Harry won't take you very long at all. If you have a day to devote to it, you'll finish the whole thing. Then you can go back to your library books. Harry! Harry!

Thanks for the encouragement -- I'm dumping the library books and heading for Harry!

Good for you, I agree, read Harry.
