Xander ,'Conversations with Dead People'
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."
Yeah, I'm not sure it's THE locket or not, but in conjunction with the locket on the UK adult cover, it's suggestive.
I wonder what all the broken stuff in front of Voldie and Harry is. It's going to be months before I can get my hands on this book, I know it.
What caught my eye:
(1) Harry and the cloaked figure (who isn't, or maybe isn't any longer, human) seem to be looking -- and more important, gesturing -- in the same direction. Which suggests that Harry and the cloaked figure are on the same side.
(B) The building in the background looks like Roman architecture. Possibly a coliseum?
Which suggests that Harry and the cloaked figure are on the same side.
OOOOH OOOOH OOOOH
R.A.B.! R.A.B.! R.A.B.!
OR OR OR
If it IS The Curtain, it could be Sirius!!!
I did click on the picture to expand it
I tried to and got an annoying 404 page instead.
I can't do that. Throwing the count off would really bug me. It might be worth setting up a separate account for that, though.
Heh. I totally thought about adding Read-but-Don't-Own, but the count thing would bug me too! Separate account, hmm...tempting...
I set up a separate account. TamarasUnlibrary. I think it will be very useful, but I haven't upgraded it to paid, yet.
AmyLiz, I WILL get that book out! It's packed and labelled and everything! The past week has not got me into work (ok, I've been oversleeping!) in time to get to the post office during the day.
Heh. sarameg, I already forgot about it! Not that I don't still want it, but I have been Distracto Girl this week.
I'm going to have to put in new tags for Hubby's Books and Household Books. It's weird, there are books about the house that I don't consider Mine but which aren't necessarily Hubby's but which aren't candidates for getting rid of. If I call one of the books Mine, then I get weirdly possessive. I look at the piles of Viking history and such and go "Well, that's not my book," and I haven't put them into LibraryThing. I had no idea I was such a segregationist when it came to the books.
The Chicago Tribune actually has an intermittent feature called "Potter Watch." The latest update (registration required) has a tidbit from the American publisher who's read the book and says it's "a very, very emotional book" and that he sobbed when reading it.
They also go into some of the speculation about the cover art that we've gone through here, as well as a question from an HP fan who wonders how to handle a wedding and the book release on the same day (the paper's etiquette advisor, and fellow HP fan, uses Harry's integrity as an example of how to postpone book gratification to attend the wedding and reception).
