Harry Potter Request

[fairyrune]

I know a whole bunch of you are picking up your books Friday night. I will not be purchasing the final Harry Potter book just yet.

The rest of my set are all in paperback, and I have book OCD. If I purchased just one in hardcover, it would drive me nuts that they don't match.

Of course, I don't want to have to wait the year or more that it's going to take them to release it in paperback. The chances of the ending being spoiled increase exponentially the longer you wait to read a book like that.

Would any of you lovely people be willing to lend me your copy once you've finished it? I take very good care of books, especially other people's. I'd probably finish it in less than a week.

Pretty please?

I don't know how easy it would be to get it to you, but you can certainly borrow mine!

Thank you for the offer, but I see prisonsexaholic pretty regularly, so it'll be easier to borrow it from her.

sure, you can borrow mine. No problem

[fairyrune]

Thank you!

i'll be taking it with me to Pennsic, so you can get it when i get back, cause Im sure I'll be done by then. I'll give it to you at faire.

Wait, aren't you going to Nikki's Bday party?
I should be done by then. You can have mine.

Really? That would be awesome! Thank you!

That's the plan. Kim and I will be sequestered until Tom, Dick or Harry dies.

...That was horrible. I loved it!

I call it at pennsic! Cause i'm sure you'll inish soon which means i can steal it and a read it fast and thus pass it on, so it will still be open for bubbles when we get home. Awesome. Check.

I have book OCD too, except the exact opposite...all mine have to be hardcover. :)

[fairyrune]

Well, when I started collecting the Harry Potter books I was a poor college student, so hardcover was out of the question.

I wait until it's been out for about two weeks...then the supermarkets have it for like $16.99...not terrible, but better than $40. :)

I *think* I'd get it for about that through B&N, but the other thing is that they take up a heck of a lot of shelf space in hardcover. Not that they don't in paperback, but it is slightly smaller, and bookshelf space is prime real estate in my house at the moment.

One day, Rich and I will have a house where we can have a room with walls lined with bookshelves floor to ceiling...
