Gosh, I'd never do it like that. Just one of you have it for a while, read a couple of chapters, and give it to the next person... read a few chapters, pass it on etc.

That way the last person won't have to wait for ages... and it's fun because you get to discuss it whilst you're reading it. It becomes an event.

We alternate by days. Fawkes means that she wants it the first day. One person gets it for a day, gives it to the next person for the next day, and so on. Then we start over after 4 days. We'll draw names from a hat to see what order we'll go in. :D

41 Think about the horrible 'fan' letter I'll be writing to JK if Harry does die.
42 Wonder that if he dies will JK suffer from multiple paper cut syndrome in a gigantic swirl of angry fan letters?
