The Running Grave by Robert Galbraith - NO SPOILERS

[CrossPurposes]

I know we still have a long wait but JK Rowling has announced she has completed the next Strike novel: twitter.com/jk_rowling/status/1626688428523016192?s=20

Yes

The Cuckoos calling is one of my favourite ( because it's the first time we meet everyone )
It is better to start with this one I think

Thank you!

Ooh!

Saving this for my long train journey next month.
Hope its back on track after Ink Black Heart which I couldnt finish

My dilemma is I reserved it ages ago at local library. I should be first. But I then go on holiday for 3 weeks the following week!

So take it with me (it will be heavy!!)
Or let the library reservation lapse and go to back if queue!
It may also arrive when j am away so I'll need to get neighbour to collect.

I've pre-ordered it on audible 😊

Bring it on holidays!!

Thought that was a Running Grave plot preview there for a moment.

I'd say take it on holiday but how long do you get to borrow it for? If you're away for three weeks will it go overdue?

I reserved a copy at my library three weeks ago but then cancelled it when I say I was 38th in the queue!! Bought a copy instead.

It’s certainly got a few twists! Looking fwd to this book, will order on audible.

i get 3 weeks loans and i am away just under - so its possible to collect day before holiday and return it day after i return. (actually i could be bad -not actually collect book from library but go in and read it every day from the reservation shelf without checking it out - check out on day before holiday - nahm thats too much effort)

(and fines are 20p per day)

So its possible, though odds on i will get an alert on the day i go away - WHEN THE LIBRARY IS CLOSED - gah to Wednesday closing!)

so all exciting! i can see my posts from a year ago today when i collected the last one and started reading.

There's an interesting review in the Sunday Times today -www.thetimes.co.uk/article/1bd3ca1e-56f0-11ee-9c2e-1c7fe7ce2a43?shareToken=545ba8dbfb578061ecef0e723bd4f0b3

Thanks for posting that. Even more excited to read it now...

A positive review

Really good review-type article. Very excited by the 900pages!!

Looking forward to this evening more after reading the review! I'm number 21 in the library queue (library has 8 copies altogether) but I think I'm going to crack and order a kindle copy before I get the loan.

Even, not evening!

My copy is arriving on Tuesday.
Finished my current book this morning but will NOT be starting another!
Hope it arrives early in the day, champing at the bit 😂

I have an interview on Tues morning, how crap is that for timing!!

At least it's in the morning, I can read it afterwards.

I ended up skipping all the chat room/media post stuff in the IBH. It was such a chore to read. Overall, I didn't enjoy it but have loved the other books. I also dislike hearing about Strike's stump and how sore and painful it is.

My copy is on the way! 😃 I can't decide whether to read it when it gets here or save it for Christmas.

I've just had a breast reduction so there's no way in hell I can lift a hardback, least of all a blimmin Strike novel.

I've pre ordered the kindle edition and I actually have the day off when it arrives. Happy swiping to me!

So it’s delivered at 12.01 am?

Anyone else waiting up to midnight to start reading it on Kindle??
