kataylaSince I'm asking this everywhere else, might as well ask it here: JK Rowling's new book is listed at $19.99 for the eBook and $35 for the hard copy ($20 on Amazon). Are you willing to pay that much for it? If not, if you take price out of the equation (say, borrow from a friend or the library), are you interested in reading it? (Information about the book is here).
My sister and I went to the Mariners game yesterday. There was a Groupon deal for suite tickets, so we were SUPER FANCY. I did like it, but it's a pretty different experience than "normal." The view was really nice, but I didn't feel as caught up in the game, like you usually do at games. NOW, some of that might just be how empty the suite was. There was a guy and his son in our suite, but that's it, plus at least 4 or 5 suites to both sides of us were completely empty. (Which also means that I'm guessing Mariners will do this promotion again in attempt to sell seats, so if you're interested in attending a game, keep an eye on that!) You also got $10 of credit for food or merchandise on the ticket, so I got a really awesome pasta. (They have this whole separate food area for the fancy seats.) Also, you could walk right by the broadcast center! And, maybe my favorite part, they had free toothbrushes in the bathroom!!! (Also candy, which my sister took a bunch of.) AND the Mariners won, but, even more excitingly, they hit home runs!!!!
I'm sure I had other stuff to say, but I can't remember it right now.

Date: 2012-07-04 09:14 am (UTC)Oh wow, the suite thing sounds kind of cool, especially if you get food with it, but it sucks that you didn't feel as caught up in the game. But then again, I guess it's better to not get used to the luxurious seats? Heh.

Date: 2012-07-12 11:39 am (UTC)The price is on the cheap-normal price range in Australia. And a good price for a new release so the price doesn't bother me. Books are way more expensive here than the US. I don't understand why our government has to put so many taxes on them. They should be encouraging reading! I'll probs get the ebook version 'cos I'm out of space for any more books lol.

Date: 2012-07-14 02:01 am (UTC)I've heard that about your books before! That sucks. This is pretty high for here, especially the eBook price. And YEAH. My books are pretty out of control. Good thing some of them ARE ebooks, haha!
