@TheSpineView (thanks for the tag! 😘)
Thanks also for the tag, @peaKnit! 😘

1. The fact that I don't have to sob into the abyss because it's another day sweltering past 110º is what I love most about winter. Seriously. ❄️
2. Of course, it's Sherlock! This story is the only one in the canon set around the holidays, and it has all the feels for a holiday story and mystery. #sherlocked

Play? @Cupcake12 @PageShifter @wanderinglynn

TheSpineView Can't begin to imagine the heat. Yikes! Thanks for playing 2w

It shouldn't come as any surprise to those who know me that SH would win out--even though Doyle's stories are a major reread for me. They are my fave and always will be--have been since childhood. They began my eternal love for detective stories, and for me, the game will “always be afoot.“

One day late. #oops

When you're rereading the entire canon of SH with #NoPlaceLikeHolmes, and these are your favorite stories/books of ALL time, how can you not pick them again as your favorites? For me, this is the definitive book with the definitive stories. Most of the classic Holmes' tales are in this one. #sherlocked

#12daysofChristmas

A reread (of quite a few times), but an exciting start to the #NoPlaceLikeHolmes #buddyread with the lovely @Cuilin and quite a few fab Sherlockians. The first of the SH canon, and it does not ever disappoint. #sherlocked

Thanks for hosting this fun event again, @Andrew65! 🤩

suvata @JanuarieTimewalker13 everyone says it‘s so good. I really do I have to dig into it soon. 4mo
wanderinglynn Ooh, so many to choose from! It‘s hard to pick one fave. Right now it‘s a toss-up between Ilona Andrews‘s Kate Daniels series or Patricia Briggs‘s Mercy Thompson series 4mo
suvata @wanderinglynn i‘ve not heard of either of those. What genre are they? 4mo
Ruthiella Too many to name! Patrick O‘Brian‘s Aubrey Maturin books, Elizabeth Peter‘s Amelia Peabody series, Robin Hobb‘s Realm of the Elderlings novels, those are the current ones I am working my way through. 4mo
suvata @Ruthiella I never heard of any of those either. Looks like I‘m going to have to rebuild my TBR. (edited) 4mo
dabbe The canon of Sherlock Holmes, of course! #sherlocked 🖤 4mo
suvata @dabbe Absolutely. Sherlock is timeless. 4mo
wanderinglynn @suvata urban fantasy (set in the modern world but full of magic & supernatural beings like werewolves, vampires) 4mo
wanderinglynn @dabbe 🙌🏻 excellent choice! #iamSHERlocked 4mo
suvata @wanderinglynn I haven‘t read a lot of urban fantasy but the few that I have read I really enjoyed. Will check out the ones you mentioned. Thanks. 4mo
wanderinglynn Both of these series feature strong kick-ass women, which I love. 4mo

ShelleyBooksie Harry Dresden series by Jim Butcher. Any of Kelly Armstrongs series (she has several), Mercy Thompson series by Patricia Briggs, Kay Scarpetta series by Patricia Cornwell, Tempe Brennan series by Kathy Reichs, Outlander by Diana Gabaldon, Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evanovich, Green Creek series by TJ Klune 4mo
suvata @ShelleyBooksie i‘ve read many of these, but the only series I completed was Outlander (still waiting for that final book). I gave up on Stephanie Plum after about 18 or so. (edited) 4mo
CoverToCoverGirl Way too many to name, I wouldn‘t want to cut into your reading time. 4mo
JanuarieTimewalker13 Before The Coffee Gets Cold…Kawaguchi…short books…fun…5th one coming out in November 4mo
suvata @JanuarieTimewalker13 I have to agree with that. Loved those books! (edited) 4mo

With the demise of my favourite bookshop in Southport, I've taken advantage of giving my wife a lift into Preston to visit my next favourite: Halewood & Sons (there's two shops, same name, same street, NOT associated with each other - don't ask!). They specialise in Holmesiana: photos of display window above. Inside, it's one of those shops in which you take your life in your hands, what with the tottering book piles and what must surely be a ⬇️

Bookwomble ... toxic load of mildew spores! 📚🦠 Finding anything specific is also unlikely, you just have to put on your deerstalker, pick up your magnifying glass and see what you can discover! Opening times are idiosyncratic, so I'm presently locked out and sitting round the corner hoping it will be open soon! ☕

julesG Looks intriguing. 5mo
psalva Places like this are interesting. Tangentially related- I was at a shop in New Orleans once which had been flooded the year before. The books were stacked to the heavens on chairs and miscellaneous boxes/cabinets. It wasn‘t an easy shop to navigate. I found a great Dorothy Parker collection. It did get a bit claustrophobic in the end but I‘m sure if I braved it out a bit more there would be many treasures buried there. 5mo
Bookwomble @psalva Yeah, that feeling that there must be that ONE book you've spent years looking for behind that stack behind the stack in front of you that you can't reach! 📚📚📔 5mo
