Glad to see this, did see something reported in Variety saying her sales were not as high as expected (though reported as a loss in the headline). Like maidmorion I intend to buy the Strike set at full price (and am looking forward to the next one: out September I believe)

I'm really enjoying the Cormoran Strike books, on my 3rd one now. Isn't the latest one out soon? I may splash out on a hardback!

It doesn't surprise me. I've spoken to so many people who had no idea about this debate before. Without exception, the responses have been a bemused version of, "I don't think she said anything wrong. Do you...?"

Remember Mermaids trying to kick her with their spiteful comment about book sales? Bet they feel like right dicks now.

Still won't shut the TRAs up though, I bet. They've proven themselves to be blind when it comes to facts. They'll keep parroting that her book sales are plummeting, because it makes them feel good. It's tragic really.

Oops I meant Smile

TRAs can have the biscuit as a consolation prize.

Ahaha haha haha!

That is all.

Some of us did start the Strike series due to her comments, buying a full set.
