Simon: I'm trying to put this as delicately as I can... How do I know you won't kill me in my sleep? Mal: You don't know me, son. So let me explain this to you once: If I ever kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed.

The Buffista Book Club: the Harry Potter iteration  

This thread is a focused discussion group. Please see the first post below for the current topic and upcoming book discussions. While natter will inevitably happen, we encourage you to treat this like a virtual book club and try to keep your posts in that spirit.

By consensus, this thread is reopened specifically to discuss Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. It will be closed again once that discussion has run its course.

Let's put off discussion until the eighteenth for the guy who picked the book and, you know, did stuff.

I appreciate that Trudy, I really do, but please don't. We've got a month, and I actually was hoping to start off quiet anyway. I look forward to wading through numerous and lengthy posts upon my return. (The more the better!)

I finished last night also. Can't wait to start discussion. 'Specially since I'm not sure I "got it"

Last night must have been the one. I, too, finished, staying up a tad too late to do so. I can't wait to begin discussing!

I think we should put something in Press reminding people of the Sunday start date. We can also post the reading deadline for Asher Lev. Did we agree on a deadline for it yet?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I started the book two days ago and finished it last night. I told my friend cathy about it (she posts in Natter and Music sometimes) and she wants to borrow my copy so she can join in the fun.

Somehow I missed this about Asher Lev. I looked on amazon but they have My Name is Asher Lev listed....can I get some more info on this?

Did we agree on a deadline for it yet?

Did we consense your suggestion? If so, it'd be 8/31 for the reading deadline and 9/15 for the discussion deadline (unless, at some point after 8/31, we group decide to begin the Asher Lev before 9/15), yes? But I'm not sure your plan was ingrained enough so that people have enough time on this round to make the reading deadline. Or, I could be remembering wrong. Hmmm ... it occurrs to me now to check Lilty's first thread post, since that's where the updates go in-thread ...

ETA: Nope, nothing there.

And also, is it time to pick book #3 ... that's brenda's choice, yes? Again, if I'm remembering right.
