Spoilage: I hates it!

Whelp, looks like the new Harry Potter book has already been spoiled.. I hate when people go out of their way to spoil people, especially kids. What's the point of being such a jerk?

Know what this means? I'm on internet black out until I can read my book. Sad thing is, I didn't order from Amazon and now it's too late to reserve a book anywhere.

Does anyone know how I can get a book on Friday now?

Inexcusable.

Mine should be Amazoning its way here in a timely manner...

I couldn't decide if I wanted to order it, or go to a midnight release, then before I realized it, it was too late to do either.

May a cone of silence surround you until your reading is complete!

Thank you.

At least I don't read the NY Times.

I'm headed to the grocery store. Albertson's will be carrying it here, CVS also has it, probably Walgreens. Uh, yeah, everyone should have it. They know it will sell.

Nice.

I'll try Meijer.

The Meijer over here is having a Special HP Day where they'll hand it over to you at midnight. Perhaps they're doing that on your side of the state. I'd bet that most bookstores will stay open until midnight to do the same.

The bookstores are doing midnight parties, but you need to have reserved in advance. Meijer at midnight is a good idea though, I can take a cab to it.

I hate the spoilage, too. So annoying. Fortunately, I haven't seen any of it yet, but I'm not going to be able to read it until my name comes up on the library waiting list.

People are just evil.

I can get you the first 10 chapters in PDF format. I have to wait until Wednesday (how about that!) for mine because I'm getting it on Audio. I don't know if that would hold you over until you had the actual book or not.

I think that would just drive me insane.

Thanks, though.

Sudrin, are you getting the Jim Dale narrated ones? Is it shareable and are you willing to share it! We have all of the others on MP3 format, and I'm dying to hear the new one but can't afford it.

I only have the text version so far.. I am PURCHASING the Jim Dale narrated book on tape/CD though. But that's what I won't have until next week
