2/2: This should be on your to-be-read list, right after you catch up with her journey that began with the Bill Hodges trilogy, The Outsider and If It Bleeds.

1/2: Finished Holly by Stephen King earlier this week. This is a fantastic - and disturbing - story that showcases one of the things I love best about his writing. He always delivers great, memorable characters that you can't help feeling strongly about and become invested in.

Some folks love the Holly Gibney character, and others do not. I think there's something really special about her, and how her character has grown from her first appearance in Mr. Mercedes.

I have often wondered why Putin's attack on #Ukraine angers me so deeply.

Walking on the beaches of Lillebælt, I realized it is because of this:

To this day, we Danes still see the concrete fortifications left by the Nazis on our shores, because 1 fascist leader got the insane idea, he had the right to topple our democracy.

He had no right. All he had was the delusion he was somehow supreme to everyone else.

We stopped the fascist in 1945.

We will stop the fascist now.

@arstechnica Anyone else getting #StarTrek #WrathOfKhan vibes?

@PadreSJ doesn't look too tough to take ... I hope it's not too distracting 😄
