That was the same for me with the books. Until I actually finished the book in one day. I think that was this book, COS & POA. The rest of the books I finished more than one day because of real-life.

[fly me to the moon]

Yeah since I think the first 2-3 books are not so heavy book unlike the rest that take forever to finish it..

[L i N d $ @ y]

OotP was the longest HP book. I can't remember how long I read that but I didn't finish it in a day.

[fly me to the moon]

Yeah, and I think that I keep putting it down longer..

[L i N d $ @ y]

Were you the ones who bought the books early or did you pre-order most of them?

[fly me to the moon]

All of the books, but not last one since I think I preorder the last book..

[L i N d $ @ y]

Same here. The earlier books I bought directly from the bookstore and was in line. The later books, I think it was HBP & DH, I pre-ordered.

[fly me to the moon]

At least I should buy it at the store than waiting for my package to arrive to my home..

[L i N d $ @ y]

I actually like buying it at the store because there's this buzz of excitement. Plus it was wonderful because the bookstore is decorated with HP and there are also opening day parties at some bigger bookstores.

[fly me to the moon]

Yeah which that's why I was like why I ordered on the internet, plus I love to look around the store and stuff.. Sigh.. And yeah, I remember, but now, they don't do that much now.. Which that's suck..

[L i N d $ @ y]

I think the biggest book launches (over here) were the last 2 books: HBP & DH. Especially DH since it was the last book.

[fly me to the moon]

I think same here..

[L i N d $ @ y]

I wasn't reading the books yet when SS came out so I wasn't aware of the book launch that time but as more books came out, the launches got really bigger.

[fly me to the moon]

I really need to read this since it been a long time I read it.. Plus I only read one time..

[L i N d $ @ y]

Same. I read all books once only and this one I've read a looooong time ago. So I definitely need to re-read again (as well as the other books).
