J.K. Rowling is finally leaving Hogwarts behind — and for decidedly more adult fare, too. Little, Brown Book Group and Little, Brown and Company announced Thursday that Rowling, author of the mega-successful Harry Potter series, is set to publish her first novel for adults.
“Although I’ve enjoyed writing it every bit as much, my next book will be very different to the Harry Potter series, which has been published so brilliantly by Bloomsbury and my other publishers around the world,” Rowling said in a statement. “The freedom to explore new territory is a gift that Harry’s success has brought me, and with that new territory it seemed a logical progression to have a new publisher. I am delighted to have a second publishing home in Little, Brown, and a publishing team that will be a great partner in this new phase of my writing life.”
I think I just about had a heart attack. SHE IS WRITING A NEW BOOK! SHE IS WRITING AGAIN. I was worried she’d never write again.
AH! This is the best news! So EXCITED!!

When I was 10, I realized that my cat could fit into my American Girl doll clothes, and I would make him wear berets and bonnets and glasses. For some reason, he did not enjoy this. He would always run away. So rude.
Ah, Rachel, my aunt had a cat and I used to take her (she was named Nefertiti) and put her in a wicker trash basket. Then I would walk around trying to balance the cat in my head (I guess I was trying to be Egyptian?) It didn’t matter how hard poor Nef hid, I knew all of her hideouts and would find her and stuff her in the basket. Poor kitty. I did had the weirdest make believe play as a kid-who tries to walk like an egyptian (haha)? I also had a stone circle I created in my front yard behind some bushes (modern day Stonehenge?).
Anyways, I wish I had know about the american doll clothes. I totes could have made a kitty toga then.

Oh, man. Great Danes are the biggest teddy bears. I’d always be watching a movie alone and then hear my Dane growling so softly and menacingly that I’d freak out only to realize her shadow was stalking her again. Gentle giants for sure!

Not one person in a thousand said that happiness accrued from working as hard as you can to make money to buy whatever you want. Rather, the near-universal view was summed up by an 83-year-old former athlete who worked for decades as an athletic coach and recruiter: “The most important thing is to be involved in a profession that you absolutely love, and that you look forward to going to work to every day.”
Although it can take a while to land that ideal job, you should not give up looking for one that makes you happy. Meanwhile, if you’re stuck in a bad job, try to make the most of it until you can move on. And keep in mind that a promotion may be flattering and lucrative but not worth it if it takes you away from what you most enjoy doing.
