Comments on: One down and five to go http://neverenoughbooks.org/2007/07/11/one-down-and-five-to-go The ongoing account of my quest for more bookshelf space Thu, 09 Feb 2012 12:07:20 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.1 By: Alistair http://neverenoughbooks.org/2007/07/11/one-down-and-five-to-go/comment-page-1#comment-19 Alistair Thu, 12 Jul 2007 16:42:13 +0000 http://neverenoughbooks.org/?p=76#comment-19 You're holding off an extra eight days to get Deathly Hallows? Are you getting a British edition shipped too? (I thought I was the only strange person who did that...) I've been going through the audiobooks, started in April, skipped Goblet of Fire because I'd seen the movie recently and knew I needed to speed up, and I've just started Half-Blood Prince. My problem isn't reading speed -- it's just the availability of time. (And I can read at about six times the speed of an audiobook.) But it's good to have finished Order of the Phoenix before I see the movie, and hopefully I can find a way to finish HBP before Deathly Hallows arrives. (Of course, having a newborn makes EVERYTHING different!) You’re holding off an extra eight days to get Deathly Hallows? Are you getting a British edition shipped too?
