I was unfortunate enough to learn a month before saturday, my 
brother in law was to get married on July 16th, in a three hour ride 
away from home, which meant I would not get my hands on my very own 
copy of HBP, until monday, for I was forced to stay the whole 
weekend at the "new" family's home...

who keeps talking to me between pages (and I know he's just been 
trying to get on my nerves, since he's not that much of a PotterFan 
and is amused by my anxiety of reading a "kids-book"), to actually 
be able to sit back and READ, so I've only managed to get through 
the first 156 pages...

Unfortunately you couldn't do anything about the wedding because 
those are usually planned so far in advance... As for inconsiderate 
friends, unless I had an ongoing emergency that I NEEDED to answer 
the phone when it rang, I just let it ring. Nothing on this earth 
says we actually have to answer them! (I hate phones and feel we 
shouldn't be slaves to them) 

When I was reading, I had several cats who felt that I should be 
letting them assist and insisted periodically on climbing onto the 
book itself! One great place for minimal interruptions is the 
bathroom and a locked door (or the tub and a locked door)! 

Now Hubby has decided he wants to read the book so now I can't talk 
to him about it until he has..... I did finish the book in about 7 
hours and am on my second read. I have been dragging it to work and 
pulling it out when I eat lunch or take a break. Also I broke down 
and got the audio CD and have it in the car as I am driving to and 
from work.

You will certainly enjoy this book and feel very accomplished once 
you have finished it in spite of all the interruptions!

Keep reading!
