I did that when everyone kept going 'I've just taken the HP button off my blog' and I was like 'I WILL NEVER DO THIS' so there it is, memorialised forever :)<br /><br />It is totally a good book for RIP. And you should definitely read it. It would be good even if JK hadn't written it, but obviously it's good because she did. I LOVE HER.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17371636785566309578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275165298547340568.post-73646111920769121792013-09-08T18:10:40.847+01:002013-09-08T18:10:40.847+01:00Oh goody!

Because I was reading and I was like 'I am seeing this so clearly!' but then I was also like 'Um... you have actually been to these places, Laura...' so yeah. Also, COME TO LONDON!<br /><br />Ok, SO the way the libraries work is that we have a county library system going and to reserve a book you have to pay 50p, presumably because this involves moving books from one library to another so you can get them. Basically. But obvs you don't have to pay if you just go into a branch and want to take a book out, because that would just be stupid.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17371636785566309578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275165298547340568.post-70156754279154266132013-09-08T18:08:08.566+01:002013-09-08T18:08:08.566+01:00I really really hate the american cover for this b...I really really hate the american cover for this book!

I think that probably has a lot to do with why I don't read a lot of it, because I don't have any go to authors in the genre so I don't even know where to start? Other than Agatha Christie, obvs. But I think I've read all of her good ones! This IS really good though, maybe JK can be my go-to crime author.<br /><br />I think you're absolutely right about that. Probably in bigger letters than the title and everything.

I 100% agree with you about the excellent descriptions of London (no, I've never been there, but JKR conjured images in my brain and that is sufficient for now). <br /><br />Also, what do you mean that you had to pay 50p to get this out of a library?

But the ROBERT GALBRAITH IS JK ROWLING revelation drew my attention to this one, though I haven't read it yet. It's on my to-read pile, but as I've just started a Potter reread it'll probably stay there a while so I'm not constantly comparing the two.<br /><br />I expect the paperback and sequels will be published as by "JK ROWLING WRITING AS ROBERT GALBRAITH," don't you?Katie Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12844778170761632779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275165298547340568.post-43647617192421167232013-09-05T20:58:32.062+01:002013-09-05T20:58:32.062+01:00I'm good with either, just read some more JK, ...I'm good with either, just read some more JK, dude!
