Happy Holidays: J.K. Rowling Is Gifting the World a New Book
She may or may not be Santa.


While Netflix is clearly the only entertainment anyone could possibly need, sometimes it's nice to do this old-timey thing called reading. And when one is compelled to open up a book, J.K. Rowling is the obvious choice. However, the famed author has been pretty busy writing plays (opens in new tab) and scripts (opens in new tab)—which has fans worried that her days of penning novels is over.
Good news: they aren't over, not even a little!!!!! In fact, Rowling just confirmed via Twitter that she's in the midst of writing a new book:
I'm working on it (literally). And thank you! https://t.co/vA6CZcVhRWDecember 21, 2016
I'm always working on a novel. It's my thing. https://t.co/cJ4Bc47c35December 21, 2016
Is this a new chapter in her Cormoran Strike mysteries? A new project altogether? Or—dare we hope—a sequel to Harry Potter? We need answers, J.K. Consider it your holiday gift to the world.
