Squee! Bounce! Squee!

OMG release date YAY! 16th July! That's just... a few months away. Pre-order, here I come! *squee*

You know the first thought I had after I learnt that the book was going to be released? JKR better not kill Remus. Talk about a one-track mind. *facepalm*

My current state of mind is half-excited, half-scared, and half "but I was enjoying exploring this post-OotP universe so much, couldn't it have come a bit later?". I *want* this book, but what if I don't like it? What if she confirms a ship I couldn't care less for? What if she KILLS Remus? (I know the Trio aren't dying in this book) And after this, there'll be just one book left!

Also, fannish5:
Pick five characters and tell us one present each you would like to give them.
1. Faith: Buffy Wesley A friend. She could do with one. (Wood who?)
2. Nikita: A good laugh
3. Remus: One wolf-free month
4. Hermione: Some time with her boys, without having to worry about Voldemort or Death Eaters or prophecies and just being their age
5. Lilah: Wesley

Ditto. Well, that's what I thought before the release of OotP, anyway, so I've just transferred to HBP, too *wibbles*

That was my first thought, too. Aaiiiiiigghhh!!! Remus needs to live! Augh!

Huzzah! Summer reading!! :)

Frankly, my expectations are clean slate and non-existant right now. I'm planning to keep my head out of fandom for a while; don't wanna get caught up in OMG TEH ISNANITY!!!

My thoughts exactly. As we discussed via chat the other night, I wasn't all that emotionally invested in the fandom when OotP came out. Things are a little bit different now *coughjustalittlecough* so I'm rather nervous about what she's going to give us. Because for me Jo's word is law, I'm afraid. I find it very hard to deny her canon.

We can hold cyberhands in July, okay?
