A gentle reminder that I have a full-time job and can make no promises that everything will stay exactly on track.  I reserve the right to deviate from the above, as fits my schedule. 

This is going to be a very low-key re-read, but I invite anyone to share any insights they have gleaned this time around, especially those that lead to The Hallmarked Man speculation. A

A reminder also that many people find it easier to subscribe and comment on the Substack version of this site. 

Ground rules:

1. Maintain courtesy and civility at all times. I reserve the right to remove any commentary I find derogatory or hurtful to another. Any Anomies will be blocked. 

2. Remain on topic:
  • We are here to discuss the books. Mention of other Rowling works, the TV production or any other work of fiction should be relevant to the book under discussion. 
  • Same goes for politics. Only Strike's and Robin's political activities are relevant. JKR/RG's do not matter, and neither do mine or yours. Only JKR's tweets regarding the books (e.g. Twitter header pictures that drop hints) should be discussed. 
3. Spoilers are a given for Strikes 1-7. Some readers prefer to avoid all spoilers, including cover blurbs and preview chapters. The Hallmarked Man spoiler warnings will be posted for anything more revealing than an epigraph. 

4. Have fun and allow others to do the same.
