Finally finished!
Well - I started the book on Saturday morning but kept getting interrupted throughout my week! I actually had to stop in the middle of the last chapter yesterday at the lake because there were too many people we knew and they all wanted to talk! I really enjoyed reading this book and am looking forward to the others. I get the books mixed up so even though I have seen all of the movies so far - I was kept in suspense figure out what was going to happen next!
And to all of you who are feeling so “spunky” and finishing your reading so FAST…take the gift! I expect that after the first 2 books the finishing time will take a while longer with each book! 
You are right - the finishing time will increase as both the size and the plots of successive books do.
I’m glad you were able to finally finish, in spite of all ther inttuptions.
And yes, the following books will take longer, and longer to read.
