Way out there--Mother and Son having to share Harry Potter books.

[elsie3]

This has nothing to do with anything. But the reason I'm on the computer is first, to pay the water bill; and 2nd, because my son is hogging Harry Potter #4. We're trying to re-read the series before the new book comes out, but we keep ending up in the same book (because he has more time to read than I do). Unfortunately, #4 is much bigger than the previous 3, and all the library copies are on hold (I just checked). UGH! I'm glad he's a great reader, but the first time I read them I didn't have to share.:+

I think it's time for him to practice his piano.}( Unfortunately, it's also time for me to make dinner--and I never did clean the bathroom or finish the wash. Oh well.

Have a great weekend everyone!!!!!!!!!

We have the same problem every time one of the new books come out. Three of my kids read the books and I don't want to buy 3 copies. I used to read them aloud each night so that we could all enjoy the book together at the same time, but they don't want to do that anymore.

Have him read out loud to you while you prepare dinner

That's a really good idea, Timber99!

I'm about to go preorder #6. I can't wait to dive into that one. I love how each book is so consuming, all my troubles disappear when that book opens. (Okay, at least I am interested enough in the book to ignore all the troubles!)

Hmm. I wish there was something we could do! Does your son have a friend who also read them, you could borrow.

Wait. It's Saturday noon now, you've probably already had dinner so this doesn't matter. I just love the Harry Potter bandwagon!

RE: Way out there--Mother and Son having to share Harry...

I share the book with my BF, who reads slowly, paying attention to every detail. Me, I practically skim through the book the first time, trying to find out what happens. I hate suspense! Then I'll go back and read the whole thing again. Anhow, generally the BF gets the book first, due to our work schedules. We pre-ordered it on Amazon.

I just finished reading the whole series again, too, in preparation for HBP. My husband and I ordered two on Amazon. I know what I am doing next Saturday afternoon. I threatened to go buy one at Midnight on Saturday, eventhough I had already pre-ordered, but that isn't very thrifty is it?
