Fun! I read up to the middle of chapter 13 today and all the while Darren and Caleb were staring at me. I swear I could hear both of them silently chanting, "Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up!!!!!!!!" All the while I'm sitting there thinking, I'm about 40 pages short of being halfway through the book, how much faster do ya'll want me to read? LOL. Not going to say anything more for now because I want to go back through and make sure I'm not posting stuff here that happens after chapter 8. I will say though I am enjoying the heck out of it, lol!

I haven't done much reading today. It is so hot that everytime I try to read I start to fall asleep! I am onto chapter 10 though.... Just an FYI. Chapter 8 ends right after they first get to Hogwarts and the Feast. I can't believe how fast I felt my blood pressure rising up and wanted to jump through and kick Malfoy myself. If this is any indication as to what I am going to have to get through for the rest of the book I don't know if I can handle it. I had a really hard time getting through book five!

I've read through chapter 10. I'm trying to take my time because there's only one book left after this! Yesterday evening I was sitting outside, enjoying the breeze and lost in the book, while being surrounded by birds, lighting bugs, and a wary groundhog eating at my yard feeders. *Sigh* This book just couldn't have come at a better time for me. So far I'm loving HBP and think it's the most engagingly written HP book since PoA. And you can tell JKR tried to explain most of the things for which the nitpickers will go after her. There hasn't been one dull moment yet. And it's so fun when my heart and mind leaps at each revelation, lol. But it's been something of a shock to read of all the deaths and disappearances. JKR is so good at creating vivid characters that I even feel the loss of minor figures. And worry where it's leading to, of course. I've always thought Snape was on his own side - just using Dumbledore and Voldemort - so it will be interesting to see where his storyline leads. When I saw the chapter title "Snape Victorious" I had a sinking feeling what that meant and, sure enough, he's the new DADA professor. Augh! And I also had this sudden fear that Fleur might be up to no good, something that had never even crossed my mind before so I figure it's just my paranoia, lol. I'm glad to have regained some confidence in Dumbledore after his mistakes in the past book. Even Mrs. Weasley, who bugged me a bit in OotP even though I understood where she was coming from, is back to her old self. Worried about Tonks though. I don't know whether we can trust Slughorn, but I really liked that first Potions class!
