We're Literary 2: To Read Makes Our Speaking English Good
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."
Robin and I are one. Or at the very least, we are two tired, squinty-eyed people who might just have impulse control issues.
Her whitefont is my whitefont. I'm still a little
drained...maybe even overwhelmed.
As Hagrid would say "Won't say no more."
Can't wait for the discussion.
Robin and I are one
You're saying you don't love me either?
I love you, ita. Just ...not enough.
Oh, I love you too...jut not that way.
Noble woman. Fierce woman. Stylish woman.
What's not to love?
Wow. I really must be tired. I had trouble finding the question mark key there.
I should be in bed, getting the sleep I did not get last night but the story is swirling around in my head. I'm tempted to replace it by watching something, or reading something else but I just can't.
I'd go for a walk but, ya know...middle o the night.
I just finished it. Wow.
I'm glad I was spoiled for that ending. I was able to comfort myself with theories. The last few chapters were intense but I did get one unexpected laugh. "Snape!" ejaculated Slughorn, who looked the most shaken, pale and sweating. More careful wording there, JKR.

"ejaculated"
in book 5 as well.
While I did not spoil myself immediately as I was walking out of B&N yesterday, I couldn't help but rush to the end while in the middle of chapter 2. I'm glad I did. That way, I could slow down and 'get there' with more focus.
As I was plowing through, I kept startling myself by laughing outloud, or shouting "NO!", or offering a big "HUH!"
I was worried after Pheonix. I didn't love it so much. Prince has completely won me back to the fold.
As I was plowing through, I kept startling myself by laughing outloud, or shouting "NO!", or offering a big "HUH!"
For such a serious book, it did have a lot of laugh out loud moments.
I didn't want to be spoiled, and couldn't wait to get to the end, so I had it finished by yesterday afternoon. I'll go back to it in a few weeks, I think.
Overall I had the same feeling I got from book 5 - that nothing had really been achieved by the end of it. It's all foreplay. I'm assuming it'll all come together in the last book, but I don't want to wait that long.
My favourite unintentionally funny line -
"I need to know what Malfoy is doing inside you".
Jars and I are one in this, including the favorite unintentional funny line.
It may just be the looooooong wait between books, but I feel like she needs to
get to the frelling point already. Books 1-4 all had their own storylines in addition to the overall arc. Books 5-6 have mainly been Harry running around saying "The sky is falling!" and nobody believing him, and then a tiny piece of sky really does fall in the last 50 pages. Maybe HP7 will be nonstop action, but I'm losing faith.
I also still think
Rowling can't write this age range as well as she could the pre-teens.
