Very Good Lives

By J.K. Rowling & Joel Holland Self-Improvement 14/04/2015

J.K. Rowling, one of the world's most inspiring writers, shares her wisdom and advice.

    Very enlightening but: This generation is so narrow minded it literally is above their reading level. I loved it.

  • Don’t bother

    Not worth your time or money. JK Rowling is a bad person and should not be giving advice.
