[livejournal.com profile] apathy_books: it lives. Finally. It may need some work done on the layout, but... it's there. And it should work, and if it doesn't then tell me so that we can fix things.

(Let's pretend, for a moment, that I didn't accidentally post the intro post for the comm in this journal. Um... oops? (Of course, you'd probably never know if I hadn't told you.))



So, I kind of gave in: I have a copy of HP7, in the ZOMGgrownup cover, because (a) it's pretty, (b) no-one's bothering to post proper spoilers, so how else will I know what happens, and (c) there's no way I was buying the Pottergate cover with the Paul Kidby-esque artwork1 and the suspicious Dobby!pose.

At all. Ever.

This all means that I've spent almost twice as much as I planned to buying DH, but these things happen. Unusually often they happen to me, but still...



(Also, can someone explain to me the e.e. rowling dedication thingy? What's the point of that, I wonder? I mean, I get how she did it. I just ain't seeing the why. (Not to compare it to a floating chandelier or anything, though there's plenty enough scenes in early!HP where they do interrogate the buffet table.))



This would bring me to another subject, but now I want for it to be in another post, because it demands a certain kind of gravitas that you don't readily get from talking about book purchases. Or, at least, that I don't readily get from it.

Instead: icons. Movie!Luna amused me greatly, and then for no apparent reason I felt like making  broken image icons. So:



And then, for Seanetcaminofiremonkeyscapefoxzilla Navigator:



And that's it for now, unless I feel inspired in an hour or so and write that other post, once I've decided for a fourth time what my opinion on it is actually going to be.

  1. There's a reason why I buy Discworld in the stylish black trade paperbacks, and surprisingly enough it's not that I love paying extra for books.

The cure for dodgy HP covers...is out for blood! I particularly like Henry Porter's Deathly Hollow.

I think that's going just a little too far; I'm quite happy with my solution of buying it in the pretty cover. :)

Minor spoiler for you.

and the suspicious Dobby!pose

It's not Dobby.

I like the icons.

Iiinteresting. It is, however, a suspicious pose.

And, yay! Mistletoe and 404s. *nods gravely* :D

I have no idea, nor can I imagine why they think it's a good thing.
