Here because I literally just finished IBH and I really didn't want it to end. Jo is such a mastermind, her books are pure magic, and I am so thrilled to hear how far along she is on the next one and that she already has ideas for the 2 after that! She's literally the only reason I read novels, and I'm so grateful for her! Long live JKR!!!

You're an amazing woman. Don't ever forget that

You are LEGEND. All who do and say otherwise lack any intellectual capacity of basic IQ, moral, zero imagination, sensitivity, strength. You are a talented, courageous, amazing human being. You must be supported. #JKRowlingRise

What an incredible writer, she is. TIBH was such a complex plot to write. She did it seamlessly. Looking forward to the next book of the series. ❤❤

God I enjoy the way she speaks. Some magic thing going on.

I missed those long witty creativity and craft centered type of interviews with her!!!

Listening her explain these to characters it's so incredible. I could stay here for hours! Thanks again for posting it! Regards from Brazil.

I have a hard time even reading the books now because I listened to them all as audiobooks at this point and the narrator Robert Glenister is SO delightful with his voices. Probably why I haven't watched the show yet either.

JK Rowling is the greatest writer the UK has produced since William Shakespeare

I really enjoyed hearing her speak about the book. Having read the book twice, I am again impressed with the characterization, plotting, and completeness of the plot lines. I enjoy reading about Robin and Strike and look forward to the next installment. I love the world she has created.

You know it is really exciting and comforting to see her be on a roll like that in terms of working on the content and putting these books at this rate. So pleased to know she's well into the next installment, gives me peace to know it (likely) isn't too far away. Not like the wait between *CAREER* and *LETHAL* anyway 🤞

I love this series! I can’t wait for the next book!

This was such a great book. I think I figured out the killer a little too early, but otherwise it was just magnificent. Really opened my eyes to how intellectually brilliant J K is.

This is a wonderful interview. I just finished Ink Black Heart. I love seeing Strike and Robin size people up. Spending time in that world is so relaxing -- leaving real-world troubles behind and looking at all these people through the eyes of Strike and Robin -- that I wished it would never end. Can't wait for book 7.

I love the Strike novels and have bought them all. I'm a big fan now and always.

Thank you Jo. For everything.

Please keep writing this series! It’s the only series I follow and really look forward to. Thank you! ❤

'The Ink Black Heart' is extraordinary.

I'm Indian respected madam respected madam you're a genius

I’ve just finished it. Masterpiece!

Thank you for posting it!

Thank you for posting this 💜

Just finished the book about an hour ago. Another fantastic book. I did think that the online World, the ideas, subjects and arguments e.g. ableist, cis, trans, are more reflective of 2022 than 2015. But loved it. Already looking forward to the next one.

They are my favourite books of all time! Thank you❤

Thankyou for this- it’s good to know these strands. A little closer to home, Arbroath’s Western Cemetery and Mortuary Chapel have much in common with Highgate cemetery and Hospitalfields- Scotland’s earliest art school might be worth a visit ?

Jo must have one of the most brilliant minds, I will forever be in awe of her talent and humility

I know JK Rowling said she may never do a COVID-19 Strike Novel but listening to her explanation of Anomie and the concept of Sickness being a key theme and disconnection is pretty much part of what happened at the start of the pandemic so I feel like she's already tackled that monumental part of our lives at least thematically in this book Keep up the good work Jo can't wait for the next instalment 👍

No author has ever made me cry (twice)😭❤

Lisa lee Morgan. I could have written that. I love all the books esp TB. I found Ink Black Heart a bit confusing esp the on line chats but I’ll read it again. Jo’s chat has helped. She is a genius- I love her 🎉❤

Really love all your books. I buy the audiobook the day it comes out and my daughter buys the book. I was so glad of that with IBH, I am old and not much into social media it was confusing listening too it. Once I was able to read the book itself, your amazing format made it all so much clearer. A trivial sideline, I live quite away from London and rarely visit, are the seemingly continual roadworks/ excavations which have been going on since Robin was wolf whistled in the first chapter of the first book, crossrail related?

I just watched an extremely hateful video regarding your work and felt I needed to come here. I hope you see this. Please stay true to reality in regards to behavioral truths. Even in fantasy worlds, you have always done exactly that. Don't let the bullies intimidate you. I can relate to your experience writing something before it happens. I have a pretty good the first draft of a novel from 2018. I edit very slowly and during that process covid 19 came. What I wrote literally happened. I was worried it was too farfetched. Now it's too mundane. I won't give up, I'll try to find something else as the backdrop of the story. Thank you Stay strong

I stand with jk - always

Love you JKR! You're my hero!

The formatting of the in-game private chats and the twitter threads were hard to follow in the Audible version. Enjoyed the book, more than Troubled Blood. Oh and Robert Glennister is fabulous but his Barclay could do with a bit of work :)

She’s a wonderful writer. This one was a little harder to follow than previous books but my third time thru I finally got it.

I love that interview. Reading the kindle version drove me mad for some time though, until I found out you can ignore the pictures because the next pages will show the same in plain text, too. I loved the book but decided against the audible version because of the tweets. How could it be done there to be undecided or unclear about the sex of Anomie? Ive got every book of Jo's in at least two versions, some even in 4, like HP2 in American book, German book, English Illustrated book and Audibles in English and German. I like to live in her worlds. I am a 69 year old lesbian media designer, in politics for 30 years, having known many LGBT people and many of them as my best friends. I consider Jo as somebody who has done nothing against us, on the contrary. I can play a game where the headmaster is gay, my favourite teacher is short, my friends are very diverse and I can date girls and boys like in my real life. Where else can I do that? Still, I've had my controversial discussions with and about trans people back in the nineties and there were tears and agression and despair but lots of understanding and support, too. People who throw about hate and shitstorm online at anybody, who doesn't follow the mainstream, instead of exchanging views aren't really helpful to the cause. Live and let live is my motto and, I think, Jo's too. With love from Germany

She’a incredible

Love the books and the author ❤

Loved this book! I'm a mystery fan and this series is my all-time favorite. I just can't wait for the book 7! I really hope there will be Japanese ver. of book 3 to 6 though, because lots of people would enjoy this series. Love from Japan!

Amazing woman

i heard that in book 9 robin and strike will finally hold hands

I am a fan of everything she writes. Just FYI, FORMATTING did get quite screwed up when I tried to read this book as a library ebook. It took me a while to figure out how to bypass the images and realize that the chat would appear in the text after the images. The image text was absurdly small in an eBook. I almost stopped reading until I figured out I could bypass the images. Then, it was very hard to track who said what and who was who in the chats without taking notes, especially as the revealing began as to who had what identities...so I started skimming those. That made this book a little bit less fun if I am honest. Skimming boring, repetitive chat actually meant I figured out who Anomie was without that, and maybe too early. It's still a fascinating plot. I recommend that the smallest device on which to read it is a tablet.

Great book, and the author is wonderfully on point about social phenomena that mainstream media only now become aware of, such as spoonies.

I’ve just finished reading and lived the book. Can you say what the significance is for the poetry quotes at the start of each chapter? Did you find these on tombstones in Highgate cemetery ?

I simple love this book series and TV show 😍

I stayed with the book out of love for the characters, but I found the plot torturous, with the endless tweet threads a major irritation. It is especially bad in the audio version.

Bonjour jo ton nouveau livre a l'air trop bien j'ai hâte de le lire Courage jk je suis avec toi Je suis trop contente je te voire Bonne continuation et à bientôt j'espère Une fan de toi ❤️

Such a good book. I think I enjoyed this the most so far. What an amazing worldbuilder JK is, her mind must be a labyrinth.

Love you and your amazing work JK. ❤

I can’t wait for book 7!! Now I know there’s 8 & 9!!! Very excited. Romance?!?! Please??!!

I'm absolutely in love with the Cormorant Strike book series!🤗❤️ Literally read all of them. Now reading this one.🖤🖤🖤 You're an amazing writer there Ms/Mrs Rowling. Absolutely appreciate you bringing all these wonderful stories to your readers.

I’m desperate to know what animation inspired IBH. I have my own idea’s including Rick and Morty or Family Guy

I just want to say that I love your books and adore your writing style. The Harry Potter books have influenced my childhood enormously and I still think that they are some of the best books ever written. But having grown older I don't mind more realistic plots and everyday life representation. I really enjoy the Strike novels because they depict the world we live in so perfectly and the charatcers are extremely relatable. Can't wait to get my hands on the next one in the series 😊

Support to J.K. from Australia, stand strong against the "woke wankers",......as George Carlin said "political correctness is just facism with manners."

This was a fantastic book! However, don't try to read it as an ebook. The formatting is awful.

Best book yet. I avoid Twitter as it seems to be a horrible pit of hate. I know the book is fiction but it's not exactly a sales pitch for social media.

My fav so far.

I've asked for harry potter books for my birthday hopefully I get them but would love to read these books 😮 love jk she's an absolutely fantastic woman and so creative

I never read past the first Harry Potter (yes I know - horrors! 😊) but absolutely adore this series. I always read the book (a min of) two times and listen to it about once a year--it’s like visiting with old friends. ☺️

I don't think I will ever read the Strike novels, but I enjoy listening to Jo talk about her work.

Great book.

I LOVE SHANKER!

I think IBH needed more editing. You could trim the book down by a third and it would be better for it. There were many characters, plot lines, and scenes that did nothing to move the story forward or explain anything that needed explaining.

26:46 Amo Cormoran e Robin só quero que parem de correr sobre os sentimentos de um para com o outro, não vejo a hora que fiquem juntos

I wonder what the real-life cartoon that inspired her was.

jk rowling says thank you target us

I read the book when it came out, and while the plot was intricate and detailed, I can only remember being impatient with it. I felt some things were not adequately explained. For example, the online game. Games have a structure, a procedure, maybe even a strategy. If I recall correctly all the online characters did was hang around, literally. There seemed to be no purpose. Did you win points, collect streets like Monopoly, win pies like in Trivial Pursuit? If someone cares to explain, I'd happily listen.

I only hope she doesn’t kill off either Strike or Robin

The plot was so interesting I read it in 2 days, but the romance stuff kinda dragged it on too much.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

8:00 They act a bit like animus/anima together, complimenting each other.

9:00 Thank you Ms. JK Rowling

which cartoon are her children talking about?

Auto subtitle 🙏

Thank you, JKR, for the Strike Series. ❤❤❤ Troubled Blood is my all time favorite detective novel, superseding all! I read Ink-Black Heart with excitement, loved the plot, the development w Strike and Robin. The formatting tripped me, though. I found it very difficult to dip into and out of the on-page ebook texts, and ended up frustrated, lost, and felt Interrupted flow. I kept reminding myself to imagine the pacing of a real text thread, which is drip drip drip over time among various texters. In the ebook, each text section was inside a photo, which had to be opened, enlarged, and read. The problem is even worse in the audible version w Glenister. There is no easier smoother way that I can think of to present long text threads, but it became a real block to my enjoyment. Maybe being an aging boomer is part of my problem! 😊 Meanwhile, I am waiting (very impatiently) for the Troubled Blood tv show to air. And how you are going to convey text threads on tv, I do not know! Hahaha😂 However difficult you make them, I will be following each of your creative offerings with admiration, pleasure, and deep gratitude!

If in this new cancel culture, Gen Z, etc. In this new, fresh, and "optimistic world" someone so brilliant as J.K. Rolling becomes persona non grata...I have no hope. It's a waist! There is no future with acceptance of such stupidity! She did so much philanthropic work, gave so much love and ability to believe in magic, gave hope and ALL of this should never be forgotten! #JKRowlingRise

What is the cartoon she's referring too, anyone know? Family guy? lol

Ye have all realised haven't ye that Strike and Robin go on to be Harry's parents! 😉

😊

Ask about Peter

Can’t accept Anomie is stopped by two neighbours, I just can’t

They took my movie and made it mocking jay😢

I really like and warm to the real life Joanne I see in front of me. Seems like a rational, intelligent, and righteous woman. I find a disconnect between this and the online version. I wish she would debate her views face to face and not behind a screen… we would finally listen and respond in a healthy way, with some resolve.

hey i have you today

So far have managed listening to half . 😮book and I .don’t like it at all. Have listened to all of her others books and really enjoyed them but this one I don’t like at all. Sorry.

She wrote a book to lionize her Twitter grievances. She can't stand being criticized for her lack of morals so she literally created a fictional universe where she's right. Jesus Christ.

oh gross, why the heck would YT suggest this to me? Blefrgh.

Let trans people live their lives.

Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎
