I finished "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" last night... I really enjoyed the book, but I was upset for two different reasons about finishing the book.
First of all, I didn't want the book to end. It sooo left the ending open (obviously for book 7), that I felt that Rowling could have given us another 100pages or so before actually ending the story there. I guess I'll have to wait until the next book is released- only god knows when that will be, probably 2008!!
Second, I was completely taken away at who she (Rowling) decided to "kill off" in this book. I won't spill the beans, because I know some of you are reading it, but geeze, I'm sure you'll be just as suprised as I was.... And possibly sadden. Yes, I did get a bit sad... But I know, "Its only a book".
Ugh. Now that that "ride" is over, I guess I'll have to get back to reading "grown-up" stories. I do have to finish one book by Jennifer Wiener and another to start....
Until then...

I am reading earthquakes by Jennifer Weiner..It is so good I am going to miss it when I finish it. I love her books!
That character was definitely the last one I thought would be killed off. She did keep you guessing many times though in the book if it was this person or the other.

ugh! the suspense is killing me!
I wish Lee would buy me the book already!
haha,
I'm so excited to hear that it's good.
I can't imagine who is killed off.

I just can't sit down and read Harry Potter...it's such a HUGE trend and i started one borrowed once and just couldn't get past the first chapter...i guess i'm not much of a book chick since that happens ALOT to me! :)
OMG!! I cried! I really did!! I just did not expect that... but I'm blaming it on PMS ;)
I heard the movie of this book is due out in December~ I think that is too soon, so I'm not holding my breath until I see previews!
I loved all the movies as much as the books :) The movie sets are what I am really into ;)
I also agree there could have been more to this one... but I'll be a patient Kitty ;)
Have a good one Jenn!

I finished this book too...and I wasn't really surprised at who got the axe, but I was still sad about it. I have a theory, but I'll email you with it so as not to spoil it for anyone else.
I read Jennifer W's book "Good in Bed" ;) it was funny and I liked it. Have you checked that one out?
Anna
glad you enjoyed it!
hugs

I'm glad you enjoyed the book. I'm going to have to start reading these once I'm done with the book I'm reading now.
