Spoiler-Free Zone
Have no fear, Gentle Readers. Bookembargo will stay a SFZ for Harry Potter Seven. Much to the dismay of some of my friends, I have not read Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. When I DO read it, I will post a 100% completely SPOILER FREE review. I may link to other’s spoilerific webpages, but I will not spoil the joy of Harry Potter for you.

Another Eclipse note
First, the Eclipse quote of the day,
***Eclipse Quote of the Day*** (7/24/07)
“Do you think either of them would give up if you died? They’d still fight, we all would. You can’t change anything, so just be good, okay?” — Alice Cullen
And then, another interesting tidbit that you might not have noticed… If you go to the Books and Gear option on Stephenie’s website, you can choose to pre-order one of her titles, or get some cool shirts. Very fun options. If you keep scrolling down you find the links to Changing Hands Bookstore.
This is cool, and worthy of your interest because they offer a great service. Authors that come into their store on a regular basis will sign copies of their books as you request them.
Their current list is as follows,
* Stephenie Meyer . . . . . . . . .
* James Owen . . . . . . . . . . . .
* J.S. Lewis and Derek Benz .
* Sylvia Long . . . . . . . . . . . . .
* Robin Brande . . . . . . . . . . . . .
See???? Stephenie Meyer! So you can call them up (or order online) and get PERSONALLY AUTOGRAPHED Stephenie Meyer books!!! Super Sweet!
And remember, Eclipse goes on sale AUGUST 7th!

What is the Point of a Book Embargo IF YOU DON’T FOLLOW IT!
The Baltimore Sun was able to get a copy of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, BEFORE THE RELEASE DATE.
Information on the Baltimore Sun article. They don’t spoil the ending for you, though they do give more information than I was willing to risk reading. READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!!
All the bookstores are getting HP7 before Saturday. But they had to sign release forms saying they would NOT put it out before Saturday July 21st, 12:01 am. That means that any online retailers ALSO cannot provide it to their customers until JULY 21st AT 12:01 AM!!!!! How hard is this???? EVERY single HP that had an embargo had this problem. (Remember the ENTIRE truck that was taken?)
I understand that problems happen, but seriously, this is HARRY POTTER. The last book that Harry will ever get by J.K. Rowling.
(Probably…
Q: Do you think that you will write about Harry after he graduates from Hogwarts? Isn’t there a University of Wizardry?
A: No, there’s no University for Wizards. At the moment I’m only planning to write seven Harry Potter books. I won’t say “never,” but I have no plans to write an eighth book.
Couldn’t we have stepped it up? Oh well. I am still eagerly awaiting HP7, and remember, even if you are spoiled, it is the JOURNEY, not the DESTINATION that is important.
(Deluxe Cover… ooooooh)

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
And the movie is out!!!
Harry Potter & The Order of the Phoenix
As his fifth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry approaches, 15-year-old Harry Potter is in full-blown adolescence, complete with regular outbursts of rage, a nearly debilitating crush, and the blooming of a powerful sense of rebellion. It’’s been yet another infuriating and boring summer with the despicable Dursleys, this time with minimal contact from our hero’’s non-Muggle friends from school. Harry is feeling especially edgy at the lack of news from the magic world, wondering when the freshly revived evil Lord Voldemort will strike. Returning to Hogwarts will be a relief–or will it?RATED: Pg-13 2hrs, 23mins.
Oh boy oh boy!!!!
