the coming few hours are longingly awaited by all harry potter fans around the whole. however, in malaysia, it might not be so. major bookstores in the country have decided to stop the sale of the much awaited book in the series of 7.
mph, harris, popular and times have decided not to sell it because 2 hypermarket (one is tesco, i am not sure if the other is carrefour) have decided to price the book at only rm69.90!! the retail price of the book is supposed to be at rm109.90. i went and checked mph online and found that they are only selling the book to those who have pre-ordered the book (yes i am in the list!!!). phew...what a relief. all activities related to the promotions tomorrow have already been cancelled. no news whether kinokuniya or borders are selling or not.
i wonder what the next move will be. before the sale there is already an uproar. the book is really gaining a lot of publicity.
if i have not preordered the book, i would have made my way to tesco tomorrow morning too. man, 50 bucks is a lot!!!
anyway, i can't start reading straightaway even after getting the book. so please do not mail me or tell me any spoilers!! let me just go through the book at my own pace (as fast as i can) and i hope every fan out there will get to enjoy the book in peace.
