Follow Friday (14)

Hey everyone, its Friday and time for another Follow Friday post! FF is a meme hosted by the wonderful ladies of Parajunkee and Alison Can Read and features a new up and coming blogger as well as a book related questions. This week the question is...

What's the craziest thing you've ever done to get your hands on any particular book?

Hmmm...I'm not sure if I've done anything that really qualifies as crazy (especially in the eyes of fellow book lovers) for a book. I've gone to plenty of midnight releases, for Harry Potter and Twilight, but that's pretty normal, at least to me. One summer though, I was working in an ice cream parlor called Maggie Moos in the same strip mall as Borders and had the day shift before the realease of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. I had reserved my copy weeks in advance and wanted to get to the store early to get my bracelet. My store gave out different colored bracelets depending on how early you got there- the better the color the faster you'd be called up to the cash register to get your copy. Anyways, I ended up sneaking out of work, running across the parking lot in my uniform, and getting to the store as it opened just so I could get the first colored bracelet. I got crazy stares from all the employees but it was totally worth it because I ended up being one of the first 10 people to get their copy that night.

I don't know if that's necessarily crazy...I like to think of it as some HP love. Send me your links in the comments and I'll be sure to check them out!
