Technically, on the last day of January, I pre-ordered Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows so I'll count that as a January purchase because that's when I paid for it.

I've gone for the 5TH 6TH and now hopefully 7th book HOOOOOOORAY I am so glad it's coming this year. I love the Barnes and Noble parties too. I've gone with my mom for books 5 and 6, and we have such a good time. I'm buying a plane ticket home for that weekend just to go to the party with her again. That may seem crazy to some people - but I like to visit home anyway, and it's the last book! We have to go to the party together! The only problem with this plan is that I don't get much reading done at home - I'm only there for so long and there's so much catching up to do with so many people! Oh well - I'll read all I can there, and if I don't finish before leaving I'll have an absolutely wonderful plane ride reading it.

I'd like to read Timequake by Vonnegut! I've read a review and it sounds like a good book. Last time I went to bookstore, there wasn't even a copy of it...I'm waiting and I hope it will arrive soon.
