Husband starts a new job tomorrow and has to leave early. I cannot stay up 😭 I'll wait for my hardcopy to arrive tomorrow and read after work.

I have a huge To Be Read pile so made a vow to buy no more books this year. 😫 I have kept to it so far, so this book will be on my Christmas list. Is it Christmas yet?

I did start reading at midnight and of course couldn’t go to sleep after, so was tossing until 3 or so. I’m shattered but as I’m off today will simply continue to strain my poor eyes.

My audiobook arrived at 3am. I start my day with a little shuffle and despite being half way through another book, I’ve paused it and started Strike. It’s a slow listen as I average 45 to 60 mins a day but it makes it a real treat for me. Happy reading/listening all.

It's nice to see more actors joining the HP remake. I am glad Warwick is going to be in it.

I'm waiting to see if he gets cancelled, or if the blue-hairs are scared to cancel him due to his height 🤔

I really hope they dont and just leave him alone. Poor Warwick has had a really tough time the last thing they need is that lot trying to get him cancelled. Have they tried it with anyone else who's appearing?

Also, HAPPY STRIKE DAY fellow JKR fans! Enjoy!

To wake up and see THM in my audible library, its just so lovely. All podcasts will have to be put on hold now until I have listened to all 30 hours of this book!

I resisted the urge to wait for the audiobook last night and have listened to the first chapter this morning. As much as it pains me to do so, I want to absorb it properly when I’m not distracted by kids and work.

I am reminiscing instead back to when Deathly Hallows came out - I’d been up half the night with a new boyfriend, dragged myself into Asda at 8am to buy the book, got home and read it in one sitting until the early hours of the next day. I remember not being sure how much of the dazed feeling I had from finishing the book was due to tiredness or from the conclusion of the story.

I suppose I’m now anticipating that similar feeling for the end of THM - glad to be at the end but sad it’s over. At least it’s not the end of the series.

Anyway - happy publication day! Thank you to Joanne who continues to give us wonderful stories and stand up for women when she doesn’t have to.

Do we know how many more titles there are to go? Not sure if shes said how many more she thinks she will write.
 
JKR is probably the only celebrity I would hassle in a lift if she was in it - everyone else I would pretend I was too cool to know who they were.

And by hassle, I obviously mean tell her how much I love her!

JK original said ten books in the series and Tom Burke hoped it would be his Morse so maybe there could be more.

I listened to the first 3 hours of the audiobook today and am on ch13 - hooked! My husband is still halfway through The Running Grave and I lied about waiting for him to listen together 😆

Ok. 35 chapters in and it is a rollercoaster already. I won’t post any spoilers but worth the wait. I am hooked.

It's not wholly a lie.

You can listen to it again with him.
