Harry Potter

Well the long wait is over. I must say that I was very satisfied with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. I must say I was a little nervous about it. I ordered a copy for my mom and I on amazon.com (apparently along with 2 million others). I was so proud. We were going to get our books delivered right to our doorstep. I had them shipped to my mom's house since we usually have a read-a-thon when the books come out, and thought that the kids could play while we read. So I very quickly got ready to go and we left Lehi for Bountiful around 9 am and waited. Then waited some more. Little did I realize that it would be coming via US Postal Service, not UPS which my amazon account stated. So since my mothers mail didn't come until 4 pm. That's how long I waited. I was a little upset. Had I known this I would have had it delivered to my house since my mail comes at 10 am. Well by the time we recieved it I had to pack the girls up and head for home. I didn't even get to start reading my book until after Josh left for work at 6:15 pm. With a few breaks to get the girls ready for and in bed. I read until 1:30 or 2 am. Then I just had to put the book down if I was to get any sleep at all. Sunday morning after showering and feeding the girls breakfast I picked up the book again and continued my reading. Josh had woke up to tell me that he wasn't feeling well so church was out of the question for him. So I continued reading and finally finished it at about 4:15 pm.

So as not to spoil the book for those who have not read it I will not go into too much depth. I think that it was the perfect end to the series. Surprisingly enough I was ok with the characters that died. I think I had prepared myself for anything to happen. So I think that only one or two of them even affected me much. I knew the moment I read it which part or chapter of the book was so hard for JK Rowling to write. I cried myself. I'm retarded like that and I get too involved in books that I'm reading. I must confess I am a little sad that the series is over, only movies to look forward to now. At some point I will go back and re-read all the books one right after the other, but I think for now I need to move on to other books. If anyone has any suggestions let me know.
