so-soWhat happens when your place of business coincides with the infamous Sherlock Holmes Baker Street address? It could lead to a mystery!
There were parts I liked & others that fell flat. From the first page, it felt like I was reading not the first in the series…it was almost like the reader was dropped in the middle of the story with facts about the characters left out. Some are slowly revealed, but it left me feeling meh overall. #192025 #2009
pickThis is an interesting tour of how the London Underground developed, and how it in turn caused London to develop and expand. It details the rivalries between the companies that originally owned the individual lines, and the key players who made the system what it became. The history and the architecture of the system fascinates me.

pickUtterly fascinating look at the spaces, natural & man-made, beneath our feet & the enduring connection humanity has to them. Yes there are chapters on the NYC subway & the catacombs beneath Paris but there are also chapters on intraterrestrials & the astrobiologists studying them for clues about possible life on other planets, burrowers in Cappadocia & explorers pushing farther and farther into the depths. I honestly couldn‘t put it down.
Rainy afternoon + new book = reading time!
