Book love.....
The Cuckoo's Calling. After resounding success with the Harry Potter book series J.K. Rowling went on to write The Casual Vacancy. It was touted her first books for adults. Then she decided to conduct an experiment; what would happen if she wrote a murder mystery using the pseudonym Robert Galbraith? Would it be met with almost immediate bestseller status like her other books? Turns out she wasn't riding her reputation because The Cuckoo's Calling was widely read before the truth leaked out that Galbraith was actually the beloved Rowling. After that happened, as you might expect, there was an additional surge in sales. To be perfectly honest it made my "books to buy" list because it was hers. And Galbraith has another book soon to be released; it's already on the list. :)
