You might be beaten to death with a replica light saber.
Be careful.
Well, since it's a con with a literary focus, not as great a possibility as you might think.
Swords, on the other hand...:)
I kissed him, and I told him that I loved him. And I killed him.

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."

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Methinks the light saber beating would be preferable to the sword.
But, hey, YBeatingMV!
Anne, backflanged.

We've ordered the British edition, as DH insists so it'll match all our previous HP books. And with family finances as they currently are, I can't justify buying an American copy just to read it when everyone else does. So I'll be a little behind.
We'll be waiting until it's out in paperback in Canada, just like last time, and picking it up at Chapters.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
Susan, we should orchestrate a trade. I buy the UK version when I'm there, read it right away, you get your American first day, then we swap so our respective collections match.
OTOH, my copy would likely be well-worn by the time I got home, thus un-collection worthy.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I'm having my pre-ordered copy sent to Michigan since that's where I'll be.

Environmentalists urged to buy recycled Harry Potter from Canada:
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is published worldwide on 16 July, with a recycled version issued by Canadian publisher Raincoast Books.
Vancouver conservation group Markets Initiative said US publisher Scholastic rejected a plea to use recycled paper.

My friend Tami has threatened to beat me upside the head if I do what I did with OotP and read it in one sitting
Y'know, I may just have to do that...cause I realized that on that Sunday? I'll be on a plane to California. Between 5 hours on the plane, and time waiting in the airport? I ought to be able to kick that puppy...
