This will (hopefully) become a part of my first bookring and consequently, my first book registered. I work at a bookstore (as well as teach high school English) and will be at the bookstore both on the 15th (preparation for the release party) and on the 16th (to pick up my copies). This will be the one I'll let my boyfriend read :) and then I will send it out! Once it returns, I plan to release it into the wild to hopefully entice new members!

What a treat! I was talking on the phone about stressful life stuff and opening my mail today and when I saw this book I let out such a Woop! that the other person on the phone thought I was nuts. Haha, such is the joy of bookcrossing.

Finished reading the book yesterday and ARGH!! How will I ever wait for the next one to come out!?! I was sucked in from the git-go and hated to put the book down to do stoopid things like, uh, go to work. I really can't say anything because I know how people have been about spoilers for this book but, g - g - goodness!! I did go all misty-eyed, then I finished feeling determined and walking around like I was going to kick some butt. Voldemort butt!

I've got piggeldy's address and will be sending out the book tomorrow.

Journal Entry 5 by Piggeldy from Stuttgart, Baden-Württemberg Germany on Saturday, September 10, 2005
The book arrived here this week - together with seven other rings! I didn't think it to be here so soon!
I had told my little sister that Harry Potter is on its way from the USA to us, so she grabbed it immediately and took a dictionary to start reading it :-) The German edition will be published October 1st, so she has to wait a bit (she has been learning English at school for only two years, so for her, the original version is very difficult!)

Edit, September 23rd 2005: Whoa! What a story!! I had known some details before - but it is such a great thing to read anyway!! Cannot wait to read the 7th book... I hope it will be less than two years until it is published ;-)

The book is going to continue its journey on Monday!

RELEASE NOTES:

I happened to get to a post office today to send the book off via surface mail!

I finished this book 3 days ago! the book is great :) i can hardly wait for the next book to come out!!
but to be a bit honest the author is trying to stretch the events of the book as much as possible. i guess there is nothing wrong with that if she keeps her imaginative talent as the same as in her previous books ;)

thank alot for sharing this book with me
the book will be going back home soon

Journal Entry 9 by -Psyche- on Wednesday, December 28, 2005
Harry Potter has safely returned! It is my boyfriend's copy, so I will return it to him... we don't want to take it out of its wrapping with all of the beautiful stamps from Kuwait, but I suppose it will have to be done if it is ever to be re-read... Thanks for making my first release a successful one!
