And I just finished The Curse of Chalion which was a fun book indeed. My roommate had a copy of the HP book on order that she picked up today, so I should be able to get my hands on it sooner or later....
Spike: Ladies. Come on in. Plenty of blood in the fridge, don't be shy. Dawn: You mean like, real blood? Spike: What do you think? Dawn: Mostly I think, 'Eew!'

I haven't read any HP. Probably won't, either. Consign me to whatever.
msbelle, I admit an odd fondness to O.W. Not sure why, as he's not my type AT ALL. So disown me, whatever. It's the doofy happy thing, I think. And making me laugh at that stupid asteroid movie. Weakness for geologists.
I'm in a whatever mood.
Except... I'm REALLY going to miss my officemate next month. FUCK. Tearworthy,even. So would finding a nice leather laptop case and monogramming it be amiss?

Oh dear. Oh dear oh dear. Are misspellings considered spoilers?
For shame, Arthur A. Levine Books!

Okay. Done. I take it back. The last 200 pages make this not a placeholder story. The last 50 are heartbreaking. Go Rowling.

Emily you mean site instead of sight?
Summerland is good, Anne. Chabon tells a great story. So rich.
Huh.

Kat, yes. But if that's the only one, we'll call it a rare aberration and leave it at that.

Mine did come USPS. (I misread the tracking earlier -- it arrived in DeKalb at 5:18 yesterday morning.)
It was the only mail that I received too.

I'm sorry msbelle! I made you sick!! This is why I am not the Queen of Nice like you. :(
It occurs to me that re-reading #5 might be good, really, since I don't remember any of it either. Hmm. But all that whining. I suppose I could skim. I don't really want to BUY it just to skim, though...decisions, decisions!

Yeah, I had totally planned to re-read the series prior to the publication of book 6, but then it got to be last weekend and I realized that I had not done it.
I think that after I finish 6, I'm going to go back through 5.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Nothing happened in six, except ... no, nothing.
