I reeeaaallyyy want to read this book! Not just because it's JK Rowling (but mainly because of that). Additionally, it is supposed to be SO good and I remember last year around exactly this time I read A Casual Vacancy, so that means it's kind of mandatory I spend 20 bucks on this one, right? No? Oh, then I've got another reason - this book could be November read for my Uni bookclub, so that's why I have to buy it no matter what :D
But honestly, have any of you guys read it already? Better than ACV? Worse? Equal?
What are yo' thoughts?
Hehe, have a beautiful Wednesday, my dears!
Awesome pick! I got it the moment it was out but I still have to read it. Soon :D
ReplyDeleteI hope you get it soon!

Arghh! How can you even do that? :D It's JK Rowling!!! Just kidding, I do that a lot with books. Wait for them for months, then finally buy them and let them collect dust on the shelves... What can you do, really?
DeleteI'm not a crime fan so I'd decided not to read it but I've now seen great reviews for it from friends who hate crime novels. So I think I'll give it a try when it comes out in paperback.
ReplyDeleteYeah, same here with ACV. I mean, most people weren't too obsessed with it, but it was absolutely not my genre and I still enjoyed it a lot. Because of the writing, mostly :)
DeleteIt sounds good and at some stage Ill read it but I think Ill wait for a bit :) Hope you find an excuse to get it soon!!! ;)
ReplyDeleteI hope so, too!! Life as a student is so bad. You have all this freedom, but no money to enjoy it ;D But I will get it as soon as I can!
DeleteI read it! I didn't really enjoy The Casual Vacancy, but I did really like The Cuckoo's Calling. It probably never would have crossed my radar without knowing that it was by J K Rowling, and I don't usually go for mysteries -- but I actually thought it was quite good! I think she's planning to make this a series, and I'll definitely want to read the next one.

A series??? Uh- mazing! I'm actually pretty sure I'd like the book. One, it's by JK Rowling. Two, I'm really craving a mystery right now and three, that would be my first adult series ever!!! :D
DeleteI haven't read either yet but feel like I should keep my eyes open! I'd love to hear what you think once you've read it :)

I know a lot of people were disappointed with The Casual Vacancy, but I would say if you can get your hands on it, give it a go. I enjoyed it quite a lot!
DeleteI haven't even heard of this! So I hope you get it and now I'll be checking it out on GR :)

Really? It was pretty big news when it came out that she had written it under a pseudonym ;) And I felt so left out, because she hadn't called me (her biggest fan) to tell me about it... :D
DeleteSorry I'm a day late. I have been on call at work this week. I have not heard of this one but, it sounds good! I hope you get it soon!

Everyone seems to be buzzing about this one! It does sound better than ACV though.
