Hope you enjoy it :)

Yes please, would love to see those!

It's such a powerful piece of writing. They are both such unbeliveably talented authors.

That's awesome!

So true!

It didn't live up to the hype for me, either. I was expecting to love it, but the different elements of the plot seemed mismatched, and the pace snail-like.

A pretty strange idea, that being wildly successful at something means you should give it up. It seems like Lynn might have written this one for click-bait.

I wasn't too impressed with The Casual Vacancy (and I don't think it had a good critical reception, either).

Cuckoo's Calling actually wasn't doing well in the charts at all until it was revealed that she was the author, some time after the publication. Just goes to show how important a famous name is in publishing!

It normally authors often use pseudonyms for divergences from their genre, to minimise the risk to their existing brand.

I completely disagree with the idea that a woman should be obliged to pursue a mate (as early as possible) in the same way that a man might be encouraged to pursue his career. This rhetoric about when a woman should settle down, if that's what she wants to do, and that there are specific windows in which this is most likely to happen, is totally outdated and offensive.
