I FOUND IT....
My very elusive copy of the last Harry Potter books, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows."
I have been searching for it ever since we moved back in November and despite many, many attempts I was unable to locate it...until a few minutes ago!!
Maybe it's because I could finally get into the other side of the closet in what is now Freddie's room...or maybe it's because I'm overly desperate for a new book to read so I don't get made fun of anymore for reading the Twilight Series over and over and over again.
Regardless, after some heavy box moving, some serious sweating (I wasn't kidding when I said that Freddie's room for some strange reason is the hottest room in the house) and some awkward flashlight positioning (no light in his room yet, what does he need them for??) I FOUND IT in a box of my scrapbook stuff. I also found my box of thread that I could have used yesterday when sewing Mele's hula skirts (they had to settle for a dark blue because that was the thread on the machine and I didn't know where the rest was).
Hopefully I will still be able to enjoy the HP book...it's been a few years since I read one (when the one before this came out) and I tried to read this one a while back but just couldn't get into it.
And no, I was VERY good and never snooped or asked around to find out what happens...I know the same thing we all did when the book came out, that someone dies, but that's it. So no one had better post anything on here to spoil it....I will FIND YOU!!!
Let's hope this read through goes smoother than the last attempt and in a few days I will let you know what I thought of it!!

GOOD FOR YOU! I probably would have gicen up and just purchased a new copy! :)
I thought it did start out a little slow but about a third of the way in it became like the other HP books where you can't stop reading. Mine are packed away or I'd be rereading them all in preparation for the new movie. Enjoy it!
Shelby...I thought about doing that a few times, but I got this copy for free (pre-ordered it from Amazon and it got lost and was a day late, so I got it for free!!) and because I hadn't paid for it I was determined to find my free copy!! But it was tempting...
Emily...thanks for the encouragement, that will keep me reading even when it gets slow knowing that it will get back to what I remember!!
