Hey, Kids... it's that time again.

With Book 7, Deathly Hallows, about to land 784 pages us I wanted a place to talk about it, and I thought maybe some other people do too? I read books 4, 5, and 6 with fandom as they were published and each time I was a little sad I wasn't sitting in a room reading with [livejournal.com profile] praetorianguard or [livejournal.com profile] unanon or the rest of you. So I created a virtual porch for us all to hang out on.

Come join [livejournal.com profile] discuss_book7!!

Membership is moderated so that the replies don't need to be. Come chat about the book here before the release. The chapter discussions will open when the books go on sale.

If this works the way I hope - readers can use it to chat with other readers while we're all still reading and without spoiling each other.

Please share the link?! The more the merrier!

I already friended you. It was a weird transition that happened when I started grad school and got married. Then I barely posted for over a year and now I am back. :D

I totally forgot that you got married! I think you were still engaged when I dropped off the face of LJ earth.

And then I sort of dropped off the face of the lj world as well. I was so busy with school and teaching and writing that there was just no time for anything else at all. And when I did try to rejoin the lj world I got caught in the center of really unpleasant fandom wankstorm and I gave up again.

Ew, wankstorms. Haven't missed those. Where are you teaching?

I'm not teaching right now. Though once we move to Boston I will be teaching again I hope, either at one of the universities or one of the writing schools.

I was teaching at a NYC public school one day a week last year and this year I was teaching at a local college.
