Ode to Harry...

As I have mentioned before, I work at a children's bookstore.

So today when I opened and discovered that the release date has been

set for #7- I knew it would be an exciting day.

This of course came as a surprise

because at about 11:30 last night I visted

both JK Rowlings website and Mugglenet

just to see if there was anything

new on the Harry Potter front.

And nothing.

Nothing new except some very yucky Dan photos.

Seriously,

unless you are a 18 year old girl (of age of course)

do not bother to view!!!!

They will gross your middle age self right out!

Seriously.

(Oh and that brings me to thoughts about Grey's-

new episode tonight YAH!!)

Anyhow back to Harry...

This is what we do on such an occasion:

1. Get an e-mail to everyone on our mailing list with the Scholastic Press Release.

2. Include on that e-mail that we are now taking pre-orders.

3. Make window posters and counter flyers.

4. Tell everyone who comes in.

5. Get list together for pre-orders.

6. Receive a number of responses back regarding the LIST.

7. Actually take a paid order. Yes by 10:00 am today I sold my first Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

8. Tell everyone that they are working 7-20-07 and 7-21-07.

9. Start visioning the final Harry Potter party.

10. Smile.

As much as I enjoy Harry and JK Rowling,

I do wonder how he happened to be on my book shelf

next to Anna Karenina.

PS- does anyone know how I can get bloger to allow me to put a space between paragraphs.

It just won't let me do it in the conventional way.
