Just under a year ago I quit my book group after its members roundly attacked and smeared @ jk_rowling I set up another one instead. It's called JKR's Barmy Book Army. (1/2)
Saying:

I was just thinking, 'I really fancy dropping in on a random book group that might not even be in my city , of which I don't know the time or date, yet is maybe called something like JKR's Barmy Book Army.' You know how these random thoughts occur sometimes, mid-chapter.
Anyway, if a DM should happen to drop into my messages with these unknown details, I may have to consider it a sign
There has been a sign. I can't ignore the promptings of fate. To the Barmy Book Army I shall go.
They will be reading ‘Trans’ by Helen Joyce

But Jo, your superpowers!
JKR: They've been a bit patchy since I had Covid, tbh.
JB: It's since you put your broomstick in the cellar.
JKR: I've got a cellar?! Bloody hell, the memory's gone as well.
I’m not sure Twitter is ready for another terven meet up that may involve wine, and food, and words, and mobile phones, and women who just. won’t. wheesht!
I’m just posting this because it’s lovely and made me smile so I thought I’d share.
