10 posts | 9 read | 2 reading | 1 to read
Supernatural hounds, a family curse, a mysterious cipher and the return of a deadly enemy . . . Sherlock Holmes will have to utilize every skill he has to solve the two classic mysteries collected here. The Hound of the Baskervilles sees Holmes and Dr Watson travel to the misty wilds of Dartmoor to confront a devilish apparition, while in The Valley of Fear the pair investigate a gruesome murder that may be the work of the dastardly Professor Moriarty himself. In this Macmillan Collector's Library edition, Sherlock scholar David Stuart Davies provides both an illuminating afterword and a fascinating chronology of the Sherlock Holmes stories. Designed to appeal to the booklover, the Macmillan Collector's Library is a series of beautiful gift editions of much loved classic titles. Macmillan Collector's Library are books to love and treasure.

#NoPlaceLikeHolmes @dabbe @Cuilin

Well, I had believed that I had stayed on track with my reading of, The Hound of the Baskervilles...😂. Apparently Sept. 21 was not the book chat date, and I am in fact a week late! 🤔🧐...

Nonetheless, I did enjoy finally reading this story, and studying Doyle's writing style.

👇

AnnCrystal It has been awhile since I watched a movie version, yet it seems there is something of this book that movies miss. The atmosphere? Not sure. Maybe because I am more up close and personal with the details.

I always understood how Dr. Watson highly valued Sherlock as a friend. Reading this has made me realize that Watson has true admiration for Sherlock, like with an older brother or father figure.

📺🧐📚🤩💝.

Thanks @debinhawaii for creating this fun play-card & for the tag 💕☺️💝.

1- It's officially Mexican/Hispanic Heritage Month (a part of my heritage). 🥳💃. If Chicano Heritage Month is truly recognized one day, there will be 3 months out of the year that highlight my heritages...my American Indigenous, my Chicana, and my Mexican.

2- Decorating time, we have began decorating for Halloween 🪄🎃.

3- The magical season is rolling in 🌬️🌳🍃🍂.

AnnCrystal 4- The FallTV shows are beginning their new seasons or premiering📺💝.

This scene just made me laugh 😂. Poor Dr. Watson, how could he not have realized, or even guessed at who the mysterious stalker could be! LOL 😂

Curiosity has finally gotten the best of me. I've had this forever (my favorite of the stories).

I have the bad habit of not reading the original book if there are movies or TV series versions available...allows me to spend more time reading the books that haven't been, or have yet to be, made into movies or TV series. Not a rule, just normally the case.

Finally going to check out Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's writing style. 🖋️🔍🧐🔎📓.

AnnCrystal ☺️ @dabbe Between your posts and the posts of other Littens, my curiosity finally won. 2mo
dabbe Yay! I can gladly add you to our #NoPlaceLikeHolmes list. 🤩 2mo

AnnCrystal Thanks 😎👍 @dabbe wait, what is the list for? Is it like a club read? Then please do 😉👍💝.

My apologies, I had assumed the hashtag was just to track Sherlock Holmes reading. I hadn't realized it belonged to a club.

Can anyone join?

Will it be alright if I just join for the, The Hound of the Baskervilles?

dabbe @AnnCrystal It's a buddy read for the entire canon, but you can read what you want. We're discussing the first 7 chapters this Saturday and the next 7 chapters on 9/21. I'll add your name, and you can hop in/out whenever you want! 🤩🤗😀 2mo
AnnCrystal 👏🤩👍 thanks @dabbe. That's perfect.

I have a hand full of the stories, not every one 🤔. I will be joining in for, The Hound of the Baskervilles for sure.

I never joined a readers group before. Been wanting to, just never believed I could keep up with my sluggish reading and not being sure if I can find the discussed book.

Yet, I feel confident that I should be able to manage with this one...with the page count being on the shorter side.

Vatican cameos. 🤣 I haven‘t read The Hound of the Baskervilles since I was in the sixth grade. I‘ve been revisiting the complete collection of stories recently. When I watched the first episode of the second series of Sherlock - A Scandal in Belgravia - I knew Sherlock‘s warning of “Vatican cameos!” had to be a reference to the stories somewhere. Tickled that I found it tonight. 💕📚

Five gigantic 600 page blank notebooks. And a bucketful of pens. If you force me to choose, I'l write my own stories.

Those Baskerville‘s should have kept a tighter leash on their pet hound, instead of terrorizing the neighborhood!
