BookwormAHN Now since I have read the books with Holly in order, I like her a lot better. She is less weird, maybe? I'm looking forward to Holly when we get to it. 12mo
BarkingMadRead @BookwormAHN I feel like we understand her better now? I still haven‘t read the newest book, Holly. I can‘t wait! 12mo

Bklover I did not get to The Outsider this month! So sorry! 12mo
5feet.of.fury This was one of my favorites for a few reasons. the premise has a backstory rooted in mythology, sometimes when King has a supernatural element it‘s never fully explained or even attempted to be explained (or the explanation is cuckoo). the wives were killing it, Jeannie was an awesome side character. & the whole thing was so creepy. It was really quotable too, the repeated “if I believe this, then there‘s no end to the universe” 12mo
5feet.of.fury @BookwormAHN I haven‘t read Holly yet either, this was my first read through of these but if I had not read Bill Hodges I def would not have understood the deal with Holly, which I am glad I did because I liked seeing her take control but also say “this is too crazy for me, lost pets & bail jumpers from now on” 🤣 12mo
5feet.of.fury Also I just looked up the cast for the HBO adaptation …I might need to watch this 12mo
BarkingMadRead @Bklover no worries!!! @5feet.of.fury yes! He did such a great job with this one. All of the history of the Outsider was so interesting and also a little nuts. I watched the movie when it came out but I don‘t remember much except that I liked the Holly in the Mr Mercedes series so much better. Maybe because I saw it first? I struggle with change 🤣 12mo
5feet.of.fury @BarkingMadRead the actress in Mr Mercedes was a perfect casting. but I saw Jason Bateman as Coach T & I am intrigued 12mo
BarkingMadRead @5feet.of.fury Jason Bateman 😍 12mo
Karkar I just finished this one. It was a first time for me and I loved it! I am going to go watch the tv show now. 11mo
