James Holden and Naomi Nagata from the Expanse series.

Definitely the library. I have a couple kids and am there at least once a week for activities.

I think the shorter format works well for the Monk and Robot books. It's almost like you're going on this little journey with them. Meandering through the woods, having interesting conversations and even stopping for a bit of tea now and then. It's all very warm and cozy but I don't know how well it would work in a longer format.

I would sign that petition in a heartbeat! Just let people enjoy things. No need to go bashing something just to make themselves feel better about themselves. You're not edgy or superior in any way just because you don't like a popular thing. Geez!

I used to belong to a LOTR group and it went from appreciating Tolkien's work to just bashing the Ring of Power show. Almost every other post was someone ranting about how much they didn't like the show. I haven't seen the show yet so I don't have an opinion about the show either way. But I just got so tired of all the negativity all the time.

That last story is ick. I would drop it like a hot potato and never look back!
