O.O

i am utterly, UTTERLY, in shock. Harry potter came out last night, right, around midnight, and i deliberately did not go to the sock party at barnes and noble because i am not a freak, so i went by this morning and then i had to go to the bryan public library (which is a far nicer, comfier library than i thought it was going to be; the college station one is all glass and hasn't got very many books in it and is all cold feeling, but the bryan one has that nice ratty carpet libraries are supposed to have and it smells good and there were four cute little people in wizarding robes taking pictures, and the librarian was cute, too. n, librarian boys are cute. thought i'd mention it) and then i came home and sat down with my latte and opened HP and WHAT! on page ten. in the book that has gazillions of copies printed all over the country in this exact edition that somebody probably ought to have read first, i think their security might have been a little too tight, because they needed another proofreader. THERE IS A TYPO ON PAGE TEN. it says 'site' instead of 'sight' and i - literally - my mouth fell open. i don't even ... holy shit. the hell? isn't this like the biggest release of a book ever or something? how can there be a typo? and the proofreader wouldn't even have been sleepy on PAGE FUCKING TEN.

Dear JK Rowling,

If you would like to hire me to proofread HP7, i'll open up my schedule.

Sincerely,
liz
