Ooh my kids will be delighted by the Ickabog for Christmas & JK is donating her royalties to www.volanttrust.org/
“Supporting Scottish charities and projects, whether national or community-based that alleviate social deprivation, particularly supporting women, children and young people at risk.“ Star

I’d like to think they were buying copies just to burn them but I haven’t seen any crowdfunders Wink so I think most people think saying TWANW is pretty normal

@IloveJKRowling

Since JKR has spoken out I've spent more on HP related stuff and about to order the Strike series, and Ickabog (which I'll have to hide until Xmas - if my willpower holds).

I'm actively buying more because of her bravery. I love her stuff anyway. What a wonderful woman she is.

Me too. I started a thread on it a few weeks back - loads of us have.

I've spent well over a hundred quid Blush and now I've just pre-ordered The Ickabog as well.

I was looking for something to read on holiday. Cormoran Strike it is!

I think we can safely say she’s uncancellable. Hurrah!

I also hope she’s ok.

I’ve just ordered the Ickabog as a result of this thread. Thought I’d order the new strike too so did. Then remembered I’d already ordered it once oops.

Just bought first strike book

Realised as well that tra going on about Robert Galbraith has probably meant more people have heard of the author and know it's JKR so maybe read them Grin

I just finished "The Cuckoos Calling" and it was brilliant...I have found my new series. I think JK Rowling is brilliant at tying up all the loose ends in a story so detective novels are right up her street.

All the upset reminded me I should give them a try!
