Harry Popper


I ordered my copy in April. As everyone knows the closer to the release date the more hype the book got. Who dies? Who lives? Are questions answered? I watch the news every night, I read the paper every morning, and I am on the Internet several times a day. And no one from the media has spilled the beans. Which makes me happy, and a little surprised. Many people have read it straight through the day they got it, lots of coffee and red bull from what I've read. I probably could read straight through if I didn't have people depending on me, and I could probably read it in a week, if I didn't do anything else. Like play with my kids, clean the house, or spend what little time I do have at the end of the day with my husband. I am eager to read this last story, but I think I am going to take it slow. I've only got fifty some pages turned. I don't know a whole lot of people who read, just to read. So it's nice to read about all these people, kids and adults, who are excited about a book. I am glad that everyone in my house loves books. Some afternoons you'll see Haley curled up some where reading a Junie B. Jones book, or I will go check out Sophie and she will have all her books scattered around her. Flipping through them, telling a story to herself. When Davy reads he has his book, his bible, and a high lighter. Ruby hasn't realized the purpose of book yet but she does think they taste good. So those of you that have finished Harry's final story, Shh. Cindy and I haven't finished ours yet.

That's right!!

The way I'm going, I'll be the last person to know the ending.

Enjoy it ladies. For those of us who devour it, it will take a second or third reading to get the most flavor. I had mine finished by Sunday night since I had to go to work, but then I read all day with no interruptions except to let Nuchy out.
