-Not the tagged book- Audible Original Podcast offered this six-part series about Arthur Conan Doyle, and I was intrigued to learn about his personal life and the creation of Holmes. There‘s a lot of information packed into this two-hour podcast. I recommend giving this a listen if you're interested in learning the highlights of Doyle‘s life. 

Full review at https://abookandadog.com/blog/the-real-sherlock

AnnCrystal Was Doyle's friendship with Harry Houdini discussed? I always wondered if Doyle truly believed that Houdini was a Master Sorcerer or if it was something else that broke their friendship. (edited) 2mo
Daisey I completely forgot I have this in my Audible library. Thanks for reminding me. I need to listen to it alongside #NoPlaceLikeHolmes sometime soon. 2mo
NatalieR @AnnCrystal It was only briefly mentioned. Nothing profound to answer your question about his relationship with Houdini. 😕 2mo

NatalieR @Daisey Ah, yes! Excellent idea. 😀 I just added Sherlock Holmes narrated by Stephen Fry to my Audible library. It‘s more than 70 hours. Probably listen to it in chunks over time. 2mo
AnnCrystal Thank you @NatalieR , very good to know 😉👍💝. 2mo

Complete your graphic novel bingo with this book about Percy Bysshe Shelley‘s famous Peterloo poem that doubles as a mini biography of women‘s labor activist Pauline Newman. 🔥

This was interesting and extensively researched. I'm low-key fascinated by the Shakespeare authorship question. I'm team Kit Marlow. 😉

Watching second episode, wicked but good!

Librarybelle I was wondering about this. The previews look good! 9mo
Leftcoastzen @Librarybelle I really liked the first 2 episodes! 9mo
rubyslippersreads It was a bit sad to see Treat Williams, though. 9mo

mrp27 I‘m enjoying this as well! Also, good documentary on Capote on Hulu. 9mo
CarolynM I liked the first series. Looking forward to this one. 9mo
marleed I‘ve been obsessed with Babe Paley and company ever since I read the tagged back in 2016. They are fascinating. And the cigarettes- it‘s amazing that anyone in this orbit lived past 50! 🚬🏙️ (edited) 9mo
marleed We should have a buddy read of the tagged when the series concludes 9mo
Leftcoastzen @marleed cool idea ! 9mo
