The title, release date and details about the long-rumored novel were not announced Thursday. Source Link to post Share on other sites

Virgo Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 This is exciting. I am glad that J.K Rowling is writing other books besides the Harry Potter series. Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Pumpkinhead Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 WOW! I so can't wait for this now. I wonder if her contract is for more than one book or if it's just for one book at this point Either way, I'll be interested in how I percieve her newest venture and how it is received publically. I think it's brave of her to come out with a new/non Potter book too. You could easily expect a writer who has been as successful as Rowling after her first series of books to rest on her laurels and reap the rewards of her successes. I applaude her for this move, no matter my opinion of the book or books she writes in the future. Link to post Share on other sites

Maestro Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I'm kinda interested in this, just to see if she can in fact write something different. Link to post Share on other sites
Lady Deadpool Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I'm kinda interested in this, just to see if she can in fact write something different.That was my thought, exactly! Writing Harry Potter was a very big part of her life, and trying to write something else completely different seems like a big challenge for every writer. I'm so curious, it's exciting!

Stan'sMommy Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 I'm so intrigued to find out what it is. She has such a distinctive style, and all we have gotten from her is HP, so I am curious how her words will sound in something completely non-related. I'm looking forward to more info soon!!

Rena Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 no doubt the book will probably be good, but it'll be weird to read something other than harry potter from her Link to post Share on other sites
Jade Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 There's a little more to this now. I seen a video and picture on Tumblr 2 days ago. The genre had been announced but nothing about what it's about or the title. Link to post Share on other sites
ShipOfFools Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 So what's the genre? Link to post Share on other sites

Arie Posted April 12, 2012 Author Share Posted April 12, 2012 Ah amazing news!!!! "The Casual Vacancy" will be out in September!!! "When Barry Fairweather dies unexpectedly in his early forties, the little town of Pagford is left in shock. Pagford is, seemingly, an English idyll, with a cobbled market square and an ancient abbey, but what lies behind the pretty façade is a town at war. Rich at war with poor, teenagers at war with their parents, wives at war with their husbands, teachers at war with their pupils…. Pagford is not what it first seems. And the empty seat left by Barry on the town’s council soon becomes the catalyst for the biggest war the town has yet seen. Who will triumph in an election fraught with passion, duplicity and unexpected revelations? Blackly comic, thought-provoking and constantly surprising, The Casual Vacancy is J.K. Rowling’s first novel for adults." Source: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0316228532/ref=tsm_1_fb_s_ab_m2delm Link to post Share on other sites

But because its Jo-and if she still has the same writer-talent that made a whole world read her Potter books (and why shouldn't she still have it?) I'm so pumped I can't even!!!
