Nickel - I haven't read any other J.K. Rowling's books except for Harry Potter, but you might enjoy her Cormoran Strike series. The four books in the series are rated fairly highly on Goodreads (goodreads.com), especially the third title - Career of Evil. The other titles are The Cuckoo's Calling, The Silkworm and Lethal White. Casual Vacancy is rated lower than any of these. I haven't read Harry Potter and the Cursed Child either, which I believe is published as a play. Incidentally, Goodreads is a wonderful site for book ratings and for book discussions. I find it very entertaining to read comments of other readers about books that I have read.

Lessons from Tara : life advice from the world’s most brilliant dog / David Rosenfelt Many people know David Rosenfelt from his mysteries, such as Play Dead that I reviewed a few weeks ago. Lessons from Tara is about the dog rescue that he and his wife Debbie run through their Tara Foundation, inspired by their love of Tara, their golden retriever. The couple has a real affection for dogs and have had as many as 42 of the animals in their home as well as re-homing about 4,000 others. This book is a very entertaining, quick read with lots of humor. The author doesn’t hesitate to poke fun at himself and is often very humorous in describing the quirky personalities and habits of the dogs he encounters. The way in which the Rosenfelts deal with many canines, some of whom are troubled, together with the sad moments that are inevitable with pet ownership, testifies to their great dedication. I would recommend this book in audio format as well since I enjoyed it greatly while taking my walks. Although there is some overlap with this book, Rosenfelt’s Dogtripping describes how they moved 25 dogs in 3 RVs from California to Maine. The well-being of homeless dogs is altogether a labor of love for David and Debbie Rosenfelt.

Jasdip, I have listened to the audiobook format of two of Rosenfelt's Andy Carpenter mysteries and reviewed one here (Play dead) a few weeks ago. I really enjoy them too - Andy's intense focus on helping his client, his self-deprecating humor and the characters helping him with his cases. I especially enjoy the audiobooks because the narrator, Grover Gardner, sounds just like I expect Andy Carpenter to speak and really brings him to life. Fortunately, our public library has many of the audiobooks available for download.

This is one of the best books I've ever read. "Rules of Civility" is also very good. Settle in. This is a long, satisfying read with a lot to consider. I recommended it here after reading it while we were on Maui this winter.
