Revamped my weekly summary post a bit. Holidays are always hectic and I'm glad I'm able to read again. This year I'll try to focus on getting through my TBR and then a challenge sprinkled in there as well occasionally.

The Sorceress of the Strand | L. T. Meade

so-so

I don't typically read detective or pulpy works, but this was pretty fun. This particular collection deals with a female criminal mastermind and her rival. As this collection was published in 1903, there are many issues, ranging from ableism to racism/orientalism and bad characterizations of anyone who isn't white or the good guy. A few stories feel repetitive and formulaic and follow the same overall structure.

Doppoetry The villain lacks any solid motivation but she is also the only fascinating character in these works. 1mo

Doppoetry I actually read this as part of visualizing some (D&D) domains of dread stuff for a certain setting, so even if this collection was overall okay at best, it did what it intended to do in regards to the DoD and as a collection. 1mo
