Post Harry Potter

I finished the new book yesterday, at precisely 10 pm. After 3 and a bit days of heavy reading, some tears, and a sore back I finished it & now feel a little lost. Friday I did the whole Van Dusen Gardens H.P. Party geekfest, minus a costume (and by the by I seriously need to invest in a cape - there have been endless events where I need one & I don't have one...) which was great, got to walk through the magical Quidditch tent to get my book, spent all of Saturday exhausted from lack of sleep (had to volunteer Sat. am at 7:00 so I slept maybe 5ish hrs), and finally started ready Saturday night. After about 20 pages I fell asleep so my first hardcore day of reading was Sunday. Monday was difficult because I just wasn't in a work mind frame - I was obsessing over the story all day and couldn't wait to get home to read the next part. Tuesday - repeat of Monday, just farther along in the book. I didn't even answer the phone Tuesday evening because it was just too intense. Then it was over and life continues...I can't go into details, just in case you haven't read it yet - but, wow! and wow! I guess all I can do now is start reading the series over again.
