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

Happy Jólabókaflóð! Thank you so much, @Deblovestoread, for this lovely swap! Hygge Hour for me is tonight. I'm gonna hunker down in front of a fire with some cocoa + peppermint Schnapps, your delicious Peppermint Patties, and this holiday Poirot mystery. My heart is full. ❣️💚❣️

And thanks, @MaleficentBookDragon, for another fabulous #jolabokaflodswap. 💙❄️💙

1. Where to start. Many of the things that should be taught at home (personal hygiene, respect, work ethic etc) are now, apparently, part of our domain. I think everyone should be required to take a cooking/nutrition class, $ management, and how to ferret out fake news.
2. Tagged book is sooooo good with a beautiful main character and wonderful supporting characters.

TheSpineView Never too late to play! Great answers. Happy Wednesday 10mo
dabbe Your #1 is fabulous. I got a big too snarky. #oops 🤩 10mo

This is book 1 of 3 in the Greentown series. Each time I read or listen, I find something new. Every piece of life‘s dreams, loves, fears, and even dying is celebrated poetically here. Reading this story about Greentown will make you feel fully alive!

dabbe I must read this! I read SOMETHING WICKED last month and LOVED it. F451 is one of my all-time faves. When I introduced it as a young teacher (my 1st time teaching it to my 8th graders), I burned a real book in front of the class (an old beat-up one, but still!) And then I set the fire alarm off at the whole damn school. I had never asked permission; I just went ahead and did it. #oops 🤩 14mo

GHABI4ROSES OOH! I dumped a Bradbury book, the one where the guy had to slap the lady a lot, a detective one. I could handle that but it was just so... black and white melodrama, I love that you are into this and I should try again. 14mo

#BookHaul #Oops 😬
More poetry books, which I've somewhat neglected this year; and two biography/memoirs: 1: Brian Eno (so a soundtrack of glam rock phasing into art rock phasing into worldbeat phasing into ambient for that one, undoubtedly with some David Bowie slipped in); 2: an interview with Miss Major Griffin-Gracy, veteran of the Stonewall Riots, and a Black, Trans activist, who I know nothing about and intend to rectify imminently!

Bookwormjillk I was skimming right along this morning through those long, long paragraphs until I realized Lyndgate was in love with a murderer. Then it got boring again. Oh well. It‘s a long book. They can‘t all be interesting 🤣 2y

Bookwormjillk Also has anyone figured out when we will finish this? I would be delighted if it was the middle of March. 2y
BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk at one point, I actually flipped the pages, hoping to see some dialog at some point 🤣 it was just one of those chapters 🤣 2y
BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk I honestly never looked because I was scared ☠️ it‘s so long 🤣 but that would be amazing. I will check later for sure 2y
IndoorDame There are 86 chapters and the finale, so I think it‘s closer to the end of March, but I haven‘t worked out the exact date. 2y
CoffeeNBooks @Bookwormjillk @BarkingMadRead @IndoorDame I made a bullet journal page for it- it looks like the finale will be on March 28th. 2y
BarkingMadRead @CoffeeNBooks thank you! You saved me from counting!! 2y
TheBookHippie @Bookwormjillk 🤣😵‍💫🤦🏻‍♀️End of March I have down as well. 2y
TheBookHippie @CoffeeNBooks 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 2y
Bookwormjillk @CoffeeNBooks @IndoorDame close enough! Thank you 😊 (edited) 2y
CoffeeNBooks @Bookwormjillk Middle(ish)march. 😁 2y
Bookwormjillk @CoffeeNBooks 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣👏👏👏 2y
CoffeeNBooks So wow- this chapter. 🤔 I wonder how all of this information about Lydgate's backstory is going to figure into the rest of the book. And why did the actress admit to him that she accidentally slipped on purpose to kill her husband because he was just a nice guy who wanted to live in Paris instead of moving back to her country?! 😳 2y
BarkingMadRead @CoffeeNBooks such a good question! Like, is it just so we understand why he may be a little wary of women, or is she going to appear at some point?!? 2y
julieclair I'm betting she shows up at some point! 2y
Bklover The end of March seems a long way off after this chapter! 2y
BarkingMadRead @Bklover 🤣🤣🤣 2y
eeclayton I'm relieved to see that I'm not the only one this chapter bored to tears 😁 2y

So, Barnes and Noble showed up in my email with 50% off all hardcovers. I may have gone a little crazy today and picked up a few that seem difficult to get from the library. #oops
