| That pic is fabulous !!! =D
anyways ... apparently, this book is breaking records ... 15 books each second are being sold ... With the previous one 'only' 13 per second were sold ...
and some 'fans' apparently started by reading the end ... They couldn't wait ...
So far the useless facts =D |

| Yeah, my sister's been reading almost non-stop since it came at about 12:30.. it's now 6:30.. she's not yet halfway through. Mom said she read the last sentence first.. but when I spoke to her, she realized it was the last sentence of the epilogue, and I laughed at her for being a dork.
She told me the last word, dammit. I don't want to know anything about it! | |

| Hahahaha ... that'll teach people wanting to know the end first!!!
I slap the ones who tell me the last word! Did that with the previous one ... and I slapped the person ... *looks all angely* ( me, aggresive ... no way!) |

| I'm teetering on the fence as to whether to try and sleep tonight for work tomorrow morning or to just read as long as I can and work be damned, it's their own fault for having me in so early. Kiki, I really love that picture of you.. | |

| I have to be there at 9:45. It's so weird of them. I go in at an odd and freakishly early hour every day I work this week. And two days are almost 8 hours per shift. They're trying to kill me.
Sorry about the hijack! | |

| I finished it after 4 hours reading yesterday. I bought it at 11am-ish and even by the time I was done, the people who'd bought it at midnight were still going!
It was sooooo frustrating! Damn being a fast reader. | |

| I won't get to read it for a while yet. My whole family has to get through it before me. EVEN THOUGH I'M THE ONE THAT QUEUED FOR AN HOUR TO GET IT! I accidentally read the last line though. Not my wisest move. But I just started re-reading 6 now. I totally forgot what happened in the others. So I don't mind that I won't get to it for a little bit. AND IF YOU'RE GONNA POST SPOILERS CAN YOU CREATE A WHOLE DIFFERENT TOPIC??? |

| I got it at the borders midnight party and finished it 8 hours later. A friend of mine finished it in 4, but he pretty much skimmed it, and didn't really take any of it in. When we talked about it, he didn't know some of the things I mentioned. Typical When the 6th book came out, some 20 yr old guys went to a store 15 minutes away from me, got a megaphone, and yelled "dumbledore dies!" at the midnight party. I don't understand why people want to ruin it for others, even if they think it's dumb! But luckily, those guys got their asses kicked

| paleo i'd take out the last line of your post, i'd count it as a spoiler even if it is kinda obvious....!
i hate that people have to spoil it though too. i mean, yeah we're eager to know what happens but i don't wanna read it waiting for the moment that i know x,y or z is gonna die! | |

| well im sorry..it was taken as a spoiler by abercrombie as well...its not anyone's fault if it was misunderstood.
i reacted to it as tho it was in reference to the end of the book at my misunderstanding...cant exactly be blamed for that. | |

| i know! i was quite glad he didnt..he might have got thumped. the "friend" i have fallen out with over his comments said he had gone around saying people die...even just random names of characters but tbh I don't believe him cos he's a pussy and wouldnt...but would say it to seem "cool" to sammy. | |
