Exercise in Nailbiting

Ah, I'm starting to get excited now - only a few more hours 'til I'll get my sweaty paws on the new book! Not excited enough to look at the First Chapter that's floating around - I prefer the feel of the book in my hand. You can look to [livejournal.com profile] narcissam's LJ, for example, if that rocks your socks - but, yeah... I'm getting excited ;).

[livejournal.com profile] hummelchen has promised to take me out for breakfast tomorrow, and to make sure I'll pick out a present for my dad's birthday on Monday *before* vanishing to devour HBP. I won't be *quite* able to give in to my baser instincts right away, then :).

So I'll wish all of you a marvellous Saturday reading :). Don't forget to feed the cats in between!

ETA: I just found myself walking through the streets with a supremely broad grin on my face, and smiling like a loon at random passers by. This *is* fun! A bit like being in love :).

I won't look at that chapter one myself either. It would feel like cheating. I want to open the book in my hands, and read the first words from there...

Happy reading to you, too! :)

I won't read ANYTHING yet, not even the cover blurb that I heard about.

Good reading to you, too. And do you really think the cats will let you forget to feed them?!? "Mao? Mao! MAAAOOOOW!" is usually how it goes.

Meanwhile, could you help with a question on the German language that has turned up in one of my communities? I would be interested in the answer (if any) myself.

Personally, I look forward to a nice sleep tonight and going out a bit late tomorrow morning - try to avoid the top of the rush. The books ain't goin' anywhere.

That's the good thing 'bout feeing your cats dry food. You can just pour out half the bag over the kitchen floor and forget them for 24 hours. :)

Perfect pets, cats.
