J.K. Rowling's "The Casual Vacancy" hits bookstores Thursday.


Shallow though the admission is, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't envious of author J.K. Rowling's massive success.

I am not, however, remotely jealous of her critics.

Despite the world-wide fame -- and hundreds of millions of dollars -- she garnered from the Harry Potter books, Rowling still had her detractors in the form of newspaper and magazine book editors.

Perhaps that's why she admitted nervousness to a Huffington Post reporter who spoke to her about her newest book, "The Casual Vacancy," which debuts this week. It's her first work for adults, and she wondered if people would like it. After all, she has left Hogwarts and delved into topics such as teen sex and drugs, according to some online reviews.

I haven't read any of the Potter books. For whatever reason, though, I'm very curious about "The Casual Vacancy."

Are you going to read it? Think it'll be any good?

Peace, love and post-Potter fiction ... XOXO
