The Cast Of Characters

The Man (of the House): The love of my life. Severely addicted to books (that take up WAYYYY too much space in our house) and raw garlic. We've been married 13 years, but involved for many more. Long story....

Our Kids:
SC:  Age 13. Book addicted like both her parents. Serious, but with a nice sense of humor. Well mannered in the eyes of the world, but at home,it can be another story(!)

JR: Age 9  I think of her as a Disney Princess's evil twin. All the eccentricity of both sides of the family wrapped up in a sweet little body and an adorable smile. People find her a darling. I do too, but I also find her exhausting!

The Beasts: Our 2 cats, both adopted from animal rescue. "Bart" is a big, solid black, total teddy bear of a cat. Our brown tabby queeen "Bella" is  in love with The Man, though she seems to like me too!

Me: Children's librarian by day, tired keeper of all of the above by night. When I think of my life, I think of Nicole Hollander (Sylvia)'s immortal line about things that are easier than combining a family and a career. Like swimming the Amazon covered in peanut butter....

You HAD to have it the SECOND it came out. You stood with all the other black framed glass sporting, wizard robed, screaming, slavering fans in the bookstore crowd at midnight. And you got YOUR copy. And you've been up all night reading it.

So now you have it. And considering how little drive there is for Rowling to put a rush on #7--especially since the publishers will be able to make a mint even before it comes out in paperback--it may is bound to be a long, long, time before the next one comes out!

It was about 3 years between #4 and #5--and another 3 before #6 came out, by the way....

The whole thing reminds me of a long ago "Peanuts" strip featuring Lucy:

"First, I counted the months until Christmas....

Then I counted the weeks until Christmas.....

Then I counted the days until Christmas....

Then I counted the minutes. And then I counted the very seconds until Christmas.

AND NOW IT'S ALL OVER!"

So now can we get back to all the other books? Or after the kids read this one are they going back to the TV, Nintendo and the Internet?

The ones who pick up new books are READERS..................................
