Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

I’m finished.
Actually I finished yesterday afternoon- it took me a little longer than the last one but I actually slept this weekend and took a time out for church. I won’t do any spoilers here I’ll wait until someone else has finished it and we can talk in about it in code.
James – hurry up.

I will post on “readers etiquette” or the lack of it anyway.
Argh!
Let’s start with number one.
1. Don’t try and carry a conversation with the person who is reading!
2. Same as above!

There was Kroon (Jason’s mission friend) who thought it was funny to try and distract me while I read. This wasn’t that annoying because he was just teasing me and gave up after a minute.
Then the mother… She wants to read the book- but she wasn’t. Instead she kept asking me to tell her what was going on in the book.
Who died? Just tell me… who was it? It’s the only thing I’ll ask. What? Who died?
So I would answer her in the hopes that coupled with my annoyed expression she would realize that it was bothering me.
(I also did that thing where you mark your spot with you finger before looking up – just to make sure the person realized that they were interrupting.)
After gaining the answer to her question she would start asking more and trying to hold a conversation about the information!
I wanted to scream! But I’m pretty sure screaming at your future in-laws is not something advised.
I feel bad because I did snap at Jason when he started asking me questions at the very end and didn’t stop when I shushed him. I don’t like it when I’m not very nice to him- but SHUSH!
It was a much more enjoyable book than #5 (Harry was so whiney in that book) it’s a little frustrating that the next book won’t be out for at least another year probably more (it’s about two years a book) but I do get to look forward to the movie this November!
