End of an Era
The Harry Potter Era, that is. The final book has been released into the mainstream, the saga is complete. Except I, unlike many other people that I know, haven't obtained a copy yet. I will, its ordered, I just need to go pick it up - but even then, I won't be diving into it right away. I want to know how the story ends, yes, but I want to hang on to the mystery a bit longer too, savor the suspense. So far so good with avoiding spoilers ... I hope it stays that way. I want to find out for myself!
Leslie & I went down to Bay St ... pardon me, 'Diagon Alley' to see some of the festivities leading up to midnight. It was a mob of people, and while it was interesting to see, I wouldn't have wanted to stick around until midnight. Not a fan of crowds.
We had a good time poking through other bookstores during the evening though, Eliot's and BMV, both of which have much more character (and better pricing) then the big box Indigo. We wandered our way along Bloor, taking silly pictures of things, and finished off with a yummy sushi snack. What more could you ask for from a Friday night?
