I just started reading If It Bleeds today. I love Holly Gibney. She's one of my favorite characters. She reminds me a bit of myself.

Opposite for me. I do not like the character at all.
Big fan of her
Wish List:
Any of the following flatsigned or inscribed-
It, Shining, Salem’s Lot, Mr. Mercedes, The Stand
Brother ARC, Seed ARC
I really don't like her. She was okay in Mr. Mercedes, but I don't like what she had become. He's made her almost infallibly smart and it feels like a forced attempt at “diversity” with all her seemingly odd neuro-quirks. With her infallible intelligence it makes her boring. Plus I cringe whenever she does the "life is poopy". I think if I read that one more time in a novel written by king I’ll sit the rest of his novels out.
If anyone is still waiting on theirs, I got my copy yesterday. I'm in Chicagoland (where they tax you and then murder you and then tax you again and then make you vote for who they want in charge).
Tax and death are the only certainties in life.
Loved the video, Jeff! And congrats on the book - it looks like you got a pretty nice copy.

Looking for SubPress Lettered::

Ilium (Simmons)
Watched the video the other day, Jeff. Always enjoyable!

Thanks guys. That book is an absolute treasure. After a lifetime of reading King it felt too good to be true.
I bought a copy with a pristine dust jacket and swiped them out. Also got the CD slipcase ordered.

Didn’t know where to put this but here seems as good a place as any. Great story concerning Stephen King, If It Bleeds and a very small football (soccer to our american friends) team in my home country of Scotland.
