You're invited!

[eleneariel]

So I had this wonderful idea that if HP7 wasn't coming out on a Saturday, I'd host a all-night HP7 Readathon, where we would all sit about on comfortable pillows and help keep each other awake with food and drink and chocolate chips and read the whole book in one night, straight through, because, behold, this is the End of an Era and we'll only get the chance to do this once, and maybe the accountability would keep me from peeking at the end ahead of time.

Only, yanno, there is the little problem of it being Saturday night and having to make it to church in the morning, and that minor bit about all but one of the people I'd invite living hundreds of miles away. Things like that.

So savetheolives and I decided that we would hold such a party -- in spirit. While our bodies peacefully slumber on the night of the 21st, our spirits will be reading HP7 and scarfing chocolate and pinching each other to stay away at three in the morning. Hilarity ensues, etc. 

Anybody want to join us? The lovely thing about this party is that the room expands, quite like magic, to hold as many as wish to come!

I'm still laughing about this. :D

I think we should request that Ms. Rowling move the release date to Friday so we can do it for reals.

Do I have to read HP1-6 before I can come? ;)

I'll come! I'll bring the peanut M&M's.

Btw, you and I need to schedule a phone chat sometime soon. Been a while. *nods solemnly*

Yes!

And in the meantime, I'll be reading the first through sixth book.

....In spirit.

I'm totally there. I'll bring a tube of cookie dough, as well.

Oh pshaw, reading Harry Potter 7 in one sitting is certainly worth skipping church over!! What is church when you could be finding out what happens with Snape?!

Okay, unfortunately my conscience is not convinced. *is sad*

[But joking aside, a big group of people reading the book together in one sitting sounds tremendously fun. Too bad it won't work. :(]

I'll be there! :D

Hey, maybe we really could schedule a time to have a reading party! Mine is ordered and scheduled to come in...maybe I could stay the night, go to church with you and then read after church...

I would love to attend. Unfortunately I'm too cheap to buy the book for myself, so I'll have to go on the library's waiting list and read it when it comes to me in several months. *is sad*
