I go back and forth between very excited and kinda sad that the last Harry Potter book is coming out in a couple of weeks.  Right now all I feel is happy though, because I finally figured out where I am going to get it.

I have been seeing Amazon and Barnes and Noble advertisements telling me to pre-order for months, but I thought it would be much more fun to pick it up at the store in person.  I was even (secretly) hoping for a midnight pickup with a bunch of eager Harry Potter fans, which I have never done before.  There is no big box bookstore in town, so I decided to support my local independent bookstore and buy it the day it came out.  I finally called today to see if they could put a copy on hold for me and… yes, they are open for one hour at midnight for all of us who want to read until the sun comes up!  Who needs sleep anyway?

So if you haven’t already pre-ordered your book, why not visit your friendly local bookstore on June 21st and meet and greet some of your neighborhood Harry Potter fans?  Maybe I’ll even see you there!
