Too Excited for Titles

So I was at school today when some people starting talking about a supposed new book from J.K. Rowling. My reaction was pretty much, "HAR HAR, okay guys... whatever." I mean, would it be totally awesome if that happened? Absolutely! But I'm so used to hearing rumours like this and I didn't think this time would be any different.

But then.

THEN.

I came home from school and logged on to Twitter. I checked my @ messages. I found a tweet from Brodie that was all 'OMG OMG OMG *link*'

This was the link: http://www.thebookseller.com/news/little-brown-publish-j-k-rowlings-first-adult-novel.html

If you don't want to read it, basically it just says that J.K. Rowling IS publishing another novel! It will be with Little, Brown instead of Bloomsbury like the Harry Potter series but really, who cares? J.K. Rowling will have another novel out! It is going to be adult instead of children's but I can totally do that if it's by Queen Rowling.

Also, I don't know if this is news or not, but Bloomsbury says in the article that they're planning to publish illustrated editions of the Harry Potter series starting in 2013. That's so exciting!

It's a good day <3

  3. I was so excited when I heard about this! Sure Rowling's next adventure is going to be awesome! I kind of hope it's a mystery novel.

  4. OMG. NEW BOOK. OMG. NEW BOOK. OMG. NEW BOOK. NEW BOOK. NEW BOOK!!! My reaction has been stuck on that ever since I heard about this!!

    Hehe, I love that I was the one who confirmed it for you :D BUT OMG!!!!!!!!!!

    We have waited for this moment since 2007. The year Harry's journey ended and we needed MORE MORE MORE (okay, we wanted more Harry then, but now we're in a healthier, more sane place to accept something new).

    I cannot wait for details. It's been too long since we've had the opportunity to get excited over a new Rowling book. Release date, cover reveal, synopsis, chapter excerpt. SQUEEEE!! Very intrigued as to what genre it will be. But whatever it is, I know it's going to be one of my new favourite books! <3

  8. THE EXCITEMENT HASN'T WORN OFF YET <3

    It's like Liz said... she could be writing ANYTHING and I wouldn't even care. Although a crime fic does sound good :)

    Mesa: HOP TO IT! I reaaaaaaaally think you would love the series and hopefully you do read them soon! As far as I know, no release date has been announced yet.

  10. I was thinking AWW EFF YEAH when I first heard about the new book, but this is the first I've heard about illustrated editions too! (So I'm pretty glad I haven't bought the series yet xP). I wonder what ever happened to Pottermore...? I've been waiting ages to try it out :(
