I was in my early twenties and our local bookstore would have midnight release parties. So my boyfriend (now husband) and I would stay up the rest of the night reading our brand new books. Harry Potter owes me a lot of sleep, actually!Camille Turner wrote: ↑16 Mar 2018, 12:18 Absolutely! It happened more when I was a kid though. When a new Harry Potter book was released, for example, I'd stay up all night devouring every word. Actually, now that I think of it, when the play "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child" was released a year or two ago, I did the same thing! I felt just like a kid again!

Oh my gosh, midnight Harry Potter release parties were the best! My mom used to take me. Great memories! Thanks for sharing.

lol, I can relate. Sometimes putting the book down is like suicidal, I won't have a peaceful sleep without knowing how it all ended.toribyers13 wrote: ↑18 Mar 2018, 03:50 I have sacrificed many a night to a good book! Sometimes I'm not even aware of how late it is until I finish the book! Other times I willingly sacrifice the night, lol. Sometimes it's just not possible to put a book down!

Yea, that's the beauty of a great book, we just can't put it down until we are donebootsie0126+ wrote: ↑20 Mar 2018, 00:46 With a great book, this is easy to do. You can become so engrossed in a book and time slips away from you. Sometimes I realize that the hour is getting late but I can't put the book down. I have even got to the point where I realize the lateness of the hour and know that I have to get to sleep and mentally tell my self, I will stop at the next chapter and finish in the morning, only to find that the end of that chapter is a kind of cliffhanger and you just can't help but go to the next chapter, then the next.
