Un-Wordless Wednesday

I am breaking the norm today because I have a ton to talk about! I am not speechless by any means today. :o) So, I have finished reading Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows. I didn't even take the time to put the picture up under my "Current Read" section of my blog. The book came in the mail on Saturday and I stole it straightaway to the pool with me. Laid out in the sun, played in the water only long enough to cool off, and went back to reading HP7. I had to be disciplined though . . . because I had to substitute for a Gospel Doctrine teacher in church on Sunday!! I was stressed!! I haven't ever really taught anything before so I read the lesson like 6 times. But I think I did pretty well. And then I logged my hours pretty fast Sunday evening, Monday evening, Tuesday morning and Tuesday night. I was up until 3:00 am finishing the book last night.

Amazing. I love it! I love it when everything comes together and things are explained. This was the most intense of all the Harry Potter books for sure. But I'm not complaining--I've always liked suspense. But now I am sad the series is done and I have finished reading it. I just felt like I should hurry and read it before someone slipped what happened at the end! Rumor has it that when 6 came out someone put a banner up over a road giving the end away. How do you avoid that?! I would be so disappointed. So now I can resume my list of books to read that continues to grow: The Black Tulip, The Kite Runner, The Nazi Officer's Wife. Sigh. :o)
