Saying goodbye to my Harry Potter novels

[matrixrefugee]

I hated to do it, but I'll admit, I've pretty much outgrown the HP series, plus the books were taking up space on my limited bookshelves. So with a lump in my throat, I traded them off to Larry the Comics Guy, to share with his kids, in exchange for several World of Darkness game books I had been eyeing for some time (Mostly Old WoD, specifically Vampire: The Masquerade). It's a little sad to see them go, but I know they're going to a good home and his kids will love them as much as I did.

Bad news, however: issue #2 of The Dresden Files: Welcome to the Jungle is still almost impossible to get. Larry said he's heard from the publisher that they're working on a second printing, but it won't be availible till the next issue comes out. :: Grinds teeth:: Ah well, in the meantime, I have a zombie story to type and a follow-up involving ...a monster made of bad vegetables from the produce department of Beanie Shay's workplace...

Awww, I know that feeling all too well, when the time comes to lay aside the relics of some beloved old past time. * hugs * At least you know that they're going to someone who will make good use of them.

What's this? We may expect the zombie story soon? Hooray!

Sorry to hear you're having trouble getting that new issue :-( . Oh well, maybe then it will be twice the fun when you're finally able to get issues #2 & #3 together!

Hee, for a moment there I thought you traded the books for his kids.

Personally, I rarely go back to read a book after I finish it. I'm always buying new ones. I should trade some in.

Yeah, I caught that just now. :: Laughs::

Hee, it'll be definately worth the wait! Hopefully, I can get a start on typing the story tonight, work on it tomorrow and have it readable by the end of the weekend.

Mmm, especially if they're something that has a high rate of interest in it and you can find a good comics store that's open to trading stuff.
