Hyzenthlay Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 Meeeh, I missed it! More embarrassing: is anyone signing up for pottermore.com? Quote
Katrina1968 Posted August 20, 2011 Author Posted August 20, 2011 (edited) I agree, I can't give her book a chance if I don't know she's written it. I'd pick it up because its written by her but I'd judge it according to whether or not I thought it a good book. I'm thinking maybe Rankins wife saw her writing but she's doesnt actually know WHAT she's writing! Did you see her movie Magic Beyond Words? I loved it, its the first time she really went into detail about her ex and her anger at her father who remarried less than a year after his wife's death.

chesilbeach Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 Just seen the news that Little, Brown will be publishing J. K. Rowling's first adult book in the UK. Not many details yet, not even when it will be published, let alone title or details of genre, but if you're interested, there's more details here: http://www.thebookseller.com/news/little-brown-publish-j-k-rowlings-first-adult-novel.html Quote
sadya Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 So far I've enjoyed the work of Rowling a lot. Some people were laughing when they found out that she's trying something different, but I'm willing to give it a chance. I'm sure I'm going to like this new genre as much as her Potter-series. I started reading those books for my children and ended up enjoying them for myself as well. Quote
Devi Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 (edited) I am really looking forward to this new series myself. I wanted to get into the harry potter books, but the movies put me off trying to read them. I would always hear Daniel Radcliffe's voice in my head and I am not a big fan of his Edited February 24, 2012 by Devi Quote
Kylie Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 Does that mean Rowling won't be publishing under a pseudonym? If they're being all secretive about details, won't it be kind of obvious? Regardless, I'm looking forward to reading something else by her. Quote
chesilbeach Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 It does sound like she'll be publishing under her own name, but it's all pretty sketchy so far, with the publishers keeping everything very close to their chests. However, they have said who her editor will be, and he's well known for editing crime/thriller authors, including Dennis Lehane, Val McDermid, Carl Hiaasen and Mark Billingham, so although speculative, this is the article on the Guardian site with the suggestion that she'll be writing in that genre. http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/booksblog/2012/feb/24/jk-rowling-crime-fiction-clues Quote
lauraloves Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 I'm really looking forward to another book by her. I will be one that will definitaly read it and am hoping that she publishes it under her own name too. Quote
