KathyK, just wanting to share:
Guilt-ridden yet pleased, I left the store and drove home.
Even at home I fought myself before cracking the book.  

Bookworm:
Bought the book pre-reserved at B&N with my daughter and her 
friend.  Got home, greeted DH (who flew in Friday evening), visited 
with my sister, then started reading about 1:30 am.  Fell asleep 
between 6:30 and 7:00.  Woke up about 10:30, visited some more, then 
finished the book about 2:45 pm.  I just sat there thinking, "Oh. 
My. Word."

When I came out of the bedroom my daughter grabbed the book and 
disappeared into her room.  On the way to the mall with my sister a 
little later, I called Mom and left a message telling her to resist 
reading the last few pages for once in her life.  She Always cheats, 
even with mysteries.  She called back this evening to say she hadn't 
cheated - yet <g> but has only read chapter 1.

We stopped at Target on the way home where I saw HBP selling for 
less than $17.  Couldn't resist temptation and wait for daughter to 
finish before starting my second reading...  but haven't let the 
family see the other copy yet <hanging head>.

This is my new favorite HP book.  And that's my story...
