#NoPlaceLikeHolmes I am so glad I joined this buddy read. It has been both entertaining and enlightening. The Sherlock Holmes Definitive Audio Collection has proved to be an excellent investment. It is edited and narrated by Stephen Frye, who is absolutely marvelous. His introductions to the home novels and short story collections are brilliant, as is his narration. I just listened to his introduction to the tagged book. He provides (cont)⬇️
CatLass007 fascinating context for this novel. I do remember watching the movie he mentions, the Molly Maguires with Sean Connery. I don‘t remember Richard Harris, but who could remember Richard Harris when watching Sean Connery? I grew up in West Virginia. I am a proud believer in labor unions, although I have never been a member of one. I would encourage you to watch The Molly Maguires, and I also would encourage you to watch the movie, Matewan, (cont)⬇️ 1d
CatLass007 about the labor struggles in West Virginia. It stars Mary McDonnell, David Strathairn, and the always brilliant James Earl Jones. I just looked it up on IMDb and discovered that it also stars or features many people who were not famous at the time but who are now famous or highly respected in the field of acting. 1d
Daisey I‘m listening to this collection as well and loving it! 1d

CatLass007 @Daisey Are you co-hosting this one? Or maybe I‘m confusing it with something else you‘re co-hosting? I‘m just now asking myself this question. 1d
Daisey No, I‘m just following along with this one and not even participating in the discussion much, but I‘ve really been enjoying revisiting the stories on audio. 1d
CatLass007 @Daisey This is the first time I‘ve ever read any Sherlock Holmes. Are you co-hosting #FellowshipOfTolkien? Maybe that‘s where I‘m confused. (edited) 1d
dabbe @Cuilin and I (@dabbe) are hosting #NoPlaceLikeHolmes. We have been reading the canon in publication order and are now on Doyle's last novel, THE VALLEY OF FEAR. Feel free to tag #NoPlaceLikeHolmes to see all of our posts, and if you'd like to join our group, let me know, and I'll tag ya! 🩵🩶🩵 1d
CatLass007 @dabbe I did tag you and @Cuilin but when I saw @Daisey‘s post I confused myself. I‘m going to blame it on lack of sleep and hit the sack. 1d
dabbe @CatLass007 Our bads! You are now on the list, m'dear! 🤩😂😘 24h
Daisey Yes, I‘m cohosting the Tolkien read. Sometimes it does get complicated keeping track of all the readalongs. Looking forward to The Fall of Arthur! (edited) 24h
CatLass007 @dabbe How did I end up off the list? Because I‘ve been participating since the beginning. And I always get tagged on the discussion posts and the reminder posts. Not important though. 23h
CatLass007 @Daisey Well, both buddy reads have lasted for years, so that kinda is what got me confused I think. I‘m skipping Arthur, because it‘s not available as an audiobook and I think I would do better if I could listen and read the print at the same time. But I hope y‘all have a great time and don‘t take me off the tag list, please. 23h
dabbe @CatLass007 Probably because I'm a moron and somehow lost you! So sorry about that! You are now and forevermore on da list! 🤩😘 22h
CatLass007 @dabbe I know you‘re joking at your own expense, but things like that, if they happen frequently, make us feel bad about ourselves. You most definitely are not a moron! More positive self-talk is hereby ordered for you. 22h
dabbe @CatLass007 My husband tells me that as well. Thanks for the much-needed reminder! 😘 9h
CatLass007 @dabbe Your husband sounds like a wise man. 8h
