HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Someone pull out the cake because one year ago today we were all reading our DH books like maniacs (Well, I being Aussie was.. not sure about the Americans, you guys wait for the midnight realease..)
So let's all go around the circle and share where we were on this special day.
I myself, instead of waiting in line for the book, was playing netball, but the book actually came out ant 9:05 (I think) on my long car-ride home and the radio station I was listening to read the first page so I was happy. When I got home I took my copy off my sister (she'd picked up our two copies while I was away) and began to read. Then I went to ballet for an hour and bored all my friends to death with my HP madness. I spent the rest of the day reading. I was up till 12:30 reading. So I can't technically said I read it within the day, but i did read it within 24 hours.

My then boyfriend bought it for me and came by my house at 1 am to drop it off for me. I was done before the day was over, haha. I read while eating, I took a break for a shower and whatnot, but every second I could read, I actually did. :]

I finished it within about four hours or so, counting breaks and such! I loved it! I even re-read the Malfoy manor chapter because Bellatrix owned in it!

I was actually hung up on the Bellatrix parts. God, I love her. Loved. Anyway, I kept re-readig, "NOT MY DAUGHTER, YOU BITCH." And just think. Molly. You're. Frickin. Awesome.

I wasn't expecting that at all, but she pwn'd Bellatrix. Even though I was like boo! at that but whatever. :]
