Harry Potter Prequel is Now Online!

RowlingThe handwritten Harry Potter prequel, that J.K. Rowling recently wrote and that is set three years before Harry's birth, was sold last night for 25,000 pounds at an auction to benefit the charities English PEN and Dyslexia Action. You can now read it online here as obviously that tiny little picture to the left is not going to work for anyone, be they Muggle or Wizard.

You didn't miss anything - that was it. Authors were asked to basically write whatever they could fit on a postcard for the auction and this was JK Rowling's. Tantalizing and excruciating in its brevity, I know. Looks like all the authors have been pulled together in a book that one can buy in a little over a month: http://www.waterstones.com/waterstonesweb/displayProductDetails.do?sku=6285395

    Who is Book Club Girl?

    • Book Club Girl is: a member of a book club and an avid reader who spent most of her childhood immersed in a book, an English major who considered library school until she realized it was all about computers, so turned to publishing, where she now works (but she vows to talk about books from all over and not to simply flog those from her own house). She was single, lived in the city, met a man, moved to the 'burbs, and is now a wife, a stepmother, a mother, and in her spare time, a fledgling blogger dedicated to sharing great books, news and tips with book club girls everywhere.

    My Review Policy

    • I review fiction and nonfiction that is appropriate for book clubs. This includes literary and some women's commercial fiction as well as memoir and narrative nonfiction. I do not review self-help, thrillers, mysteries, horror, or fantasy. I have a fondness for YA literature and while the blog is not devoted to it (well, except for my obsession with the Betsy-Tacy series), I will occasionally review some YA books. The best way to reach me to request a review is to email me at bookclubgirl AT gmail DOT com.
