Heralding in the HBP

[elady25]

I will probably go get the book at midnight, and then hole up by 
myself for the twenty hour or so reading marathon (I read fast; I had 
OOP finished in twenty-four hours and that was with taking off a few 
hours for a church picnic and a few hours for an impromptu date w/ my 
hubby).  Daddy already knows he is going to need to keep the kids 
occupied.  Then when I'm finished with the first read, I'll pass the 
book over to him.  He's already planning to take a couple vacation 
days to read it.  

The ideas of parties everyone has are so great; I just don't know if 
I would have the patience for reading out loud together.

My brother-in-law and his wife have a deal where they read it 
together, because she has a learning disability that prevents her 
from reading very much.  And one family I know read OOP together for 
an hour or two each night until they were finished.
