Sheesh, I've never posted this many times in one day before!

I have to admit, the first time I heard of the books was the time Rosie
O'Donnel mentioned it on her show (after the first time Rowling was a
guest, but before the second time). Then, I was walking through Target,
and I saw Chamber on sale, so I said, "Hmm.... well, what the heck,
$11 isn't that much for a hardcover book, is it?" and I bought it. And I
loved it so much that when I finished reading it that evening, I bought
the other two (it was the week after PoA came out) on Amazon, and then a
few weeks later, I bought the british versions from amazon.co.uk. Talk
about going overboard, huh? Anyway, then I bought the first one for
my little sister, who liked it, to my surprise. Then I read it to my
husband (and then the next two). Then I recommended it to a few of our
friends, then I picked it for MY turn at our little book club we belong
to. I think I mentioned earlier that everyone liked it except for the
3 English teachers there and the one really big SciFi fan, who thinks
this was kind of a lame attempt. Of course, now I'm kinda changing
his mind about his general opinion about the HP craze since I've been
sending him articles that mention how much kids are asking for "good"
literature now that there are still 4 months till number 4 comes out.

Okay, I'm sure this is long enough. I have to scrub the bathtub. :)
er..... :(
