It is a strange time in the life of the Death Readers.
One of the Readers takes their first step on a Epic New Adventure upon Life's Grand Stage.
The other one is just getting Married.
But we'll be back in a few weeks ready to send The Order of the Phoenix to a farm upstate. (Don't worry. It is going to have so much fun playing with the other books. And really this is not life for 700+ page book. Sitting there on the shelf with no exercise. It'll be happier)
See you then!
