Odin, Saturn, and Sol Invictus: The Reason for the Season

[felis_ultharus]

I was going to wish people a Happy Yule yesterday, but the Internet connection here was down.

So Happy Yule!

In other news, J.K. Rowling announced the title of the last Harry Potter book on the Solstice, just as she did for the 6th book last year

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

That's quite a name. Very Gothy. The fact that the puzzle involves a game of hangman just adds to the effect.

It's not concealed on my friendspage, which means it might not be on other people's, either.
Maybe a cut would be more effective.

Thanks for the heads-up ^_^

It's what the other person on my flist (who posted this yesterday) did ;)

Yeah. I'm a bad fan -- I didn't get to it until the day after :p

Happy Yule!

You, too ^_^

Hope it's a good one.

Happy Yule to you too!

You are the first person on my friends list to put this behind a cut. Thanks! I don't really mind that the others didn't. I would have found out about it soon enough but it's nice of you to do so.

Now I just want the book to come out... (working in a bookstore will make the whole experience even more interesting...)

Some people were pretty particular about putting it behind a cut, at least while that puzzle was up.

It's going to be out in 2007 -- that's almost certain. There's always a six-month lagtime between her completing a book and its arrival on the shelves (it's 9 months for other books, but they make her a priority).

From what I understand, working the counter on Harry Potter day is like a miniature Christmas rush.
