Harry Potter is sooooo my new fandom

There's nothing like spending a whole day deeply immersed in reading a book you were expecting with quite some amount of trepidation. I'm in 7th sky
I'm so glad I got into the HP fandom recently, i would never have enjoyed ready Half Blood Prince so much if I hadn't. Heh, don't worry, I'm not going to talk about the content of the book apart from saying I enjoyed it a lot. I'm going to make another post with spoiler after this one...

Impromptueness is the best for this thing, so I went a bit at random to find a place where to buy it yesterday evening. I ended up at the Luynn Abbey Canadian book store at St Michel (it's a very small shop with piles of books hanging everywhere in a mess, lovely if you love searching for goof old books among the trash)

The party was extremely small and made up of more people who were there for, well, partying and having fun with friends, than people who were actually interested into buying the new HP. I got to use one of stronger knack, which is, spend some time with total strangers and having a lot of fun at it. I flirted with a cute girl who read my fortune in a strange set of tarot. It was overall very random and fun.

I got to cut the cardbox with the book opened and bought the first copy, and it's a sign of how much a dork I am that I'm quite smug of it. Anyway, afterwhile we went at the Shywawa (a bar I love just because it's got my favourite Appolinaire line on the wall : "mon verre s'est brisé comme un éclat de rire") but I didn't stay very long after finishing my whiskey. I went to my appartment where I knew I could have quiet and space for my very favourite activity in the world : reading.

I finished reading OotP first yesterday night and this morning, then started reading HBP at 4 pm. I finished it, aaahh, something like 20 minutes ago, after going home to my parents' (for eating you see... my second very favourite activity in the world and i was starting to be hungry at my appartment ^_^)
