My birthday. Because I get to be all special.
LOL! I'd also love to own a bookstore filled with musky old books and some collectibles.
I want a complete set of UK edition Harry Potter books, too (the adult eds). I've been waiting to buy them until the last book comes out. I wouldn't mind the complete set on audio, too. I've been listening to the audio books from the library and they're very enjoyable to listen to. :-)
Well, if you ever meet someone willing to hire you to be a professional book reader, and they happen to need someone else, think of me :-D
I've been flirting with the idea of ordering the UK-set of the Harry Potter books :) I especially love the cover to the 7th book.
PEI. It's my goal to vacation there someday. Chalk it all up to LM Montgomery.
Mailyn--Yeah, I'd love to own a bookstore... as long as I didn't have to make it profitable. Lol. The life of a bookstore owner is not easy these days, which sucks because it would be so fun. :)
DC--I am completely lusting after a UK set of HP. I'm rereading Sorceror's Stone now and every once in a while I'll come across some American slang and I think, That's not right!! These kids would never say that. I want the original text. :)
Rosario--Maybe we can trick some really dumb billionaire into paying us to read. Know any dumb billionaires? :D
JMC--I think it's odd that they have children's and adult's versions there--are British adults ashamed to be seen reading YA or something? Lol. I actually like the US covers better--the illustrations are so great.
I went to PEI on a family trip eons ago and I think it was the most gorgeous place I've ever been. We went to see the house that Green Gables was based on and it was so lovely.
I am from the UK and I have to ask, what is the difference between the UK and the USA versions of Harry Potter?
When I visited America a few years ago, I fell in love with your little Goldfish crackers. We get something similar here, but they don't taste the same!! I can't believe you have something even better, I will have to try them when I get to visit again.
Hi Daisy Cat--Our Harry Potter books have different covers, and the text has been edited a bit--mostly to remove the British slang that would be unfamiliar or confusing to American children. I think especially the earlier books were changed more--not in the big things, just a few details.
I can't believe y'all don't have Goldfish! :D
