I am really scared of spoilers and when the director of my library
asked if anyone wanted to open at 12:01am I jumped at the chance to
throw a party. We are raffling off the chance to read the library's
copies and I plan to tie the books shut. Everyone has to sign a
form that they won't open the book until they leave the library's
parking lot. We are having games, contests and food, but because I
have been doing this for years I know that before 1am the event will
be over and I can throw everyone out. Then I will drive home, sleep
about four hours and then start to read. This way I am protected
from spoilers, have a short drive ( I'm five minutes from the
library, Borders is about 40 minutes), and have the best party. I
know our decorations are better, we won't have huge lines, and I
think I can keep everyone honest. We aren't professional, but we know
how to throw a good party.
If I read the book all day Saturday I can finiah it. Hopefully,
nothing major wlll come up. Sunday morning I will probably reread
favorite passages - there are always favorite passages - and by
Sunday afternoon I can make British food, beef roast, Yorkshire
pudding, treacle tart (Harry's favorite dessert).
I know I'll be sad. It's the last book, and there will never be
anything fresh from Jo again. But the mystery will finally be
solved, so we can find comfort in that, and the characters can live
on in our imaginations. We won't have the spark of Jo Rowling, but
the characters will always be alive in our minds. (I'm sure she won't
kill off Harry.)
Is anyone else planning to do somehting special after they read the
book?
