Hound of the Baskervilles (Anniversary) | 
so-soA very not Sherlock approved setting for finishing up this read, but this cocktail pop is yummy!
I haven't read much Doyle, interesting how this book (#5) mostly follows Watson. There is a bit of misogyny like you would expect for the time but the layered mystery was interesting, I am still more of a Christie reader (her anti-Semitism and racism put me off there though)
This was just fine. Glad it is off the shelf.
Happy SHERLOCK HOLMES DAY!!!
Got a favorite story from the great detective?
Mine is The Hounds of the Baskervilles 🐕
pickI‘m not a fan of neat and tidy endings (with many Sherlock Holmes books, you‘ll get the who, what, where, when, why and how for all aspects of a case, no matter how mysterious its beginnings….it IS a detective story after all); I still like the eeriness of the unexplainable. This book definitely kept up the eeriness for its first 200 pages. What atmosphere! Murder and old folklore all blurred together upon a bleak but beautiful Devonshire moor.

Next on my #12booksof2021 list (April) is the Sherlock Holmes novel: The Hound of the Baskervilles.
Structurally, Holmes' novels will never live up to the well-worn murder mystery formula that we now know and love, but they paved the way for the genre to develop.
The Hound of the Baskervilles is a fantastically atmospheric detective novel that takes the reader right out onto the blustery howling moors.
pickSpooky, mysterious, and some drama. This is my favorite Sherlock Holmes so far just because it has a little bit of everything for me. #bookreview #sherlockholmes
Might I trouble you then to be ready in half an hour, and we can stop at Marcini‘s for a little dinner on the way?

Day 89.
Here I will note 365 books (or as many as I will have before I get tired) that have shaped my taste in literature. No explanations, no reviews. Just the cover of the book.
I do not challenge anyone. You are all welcome to take part.
How many copies of Sherlock is too many? Asking for a friend. I'm a bit indifferent to #brown covers, but Coralie Bickford-Smith made it work.

Another one down with my reading bud 📚
Such a little love 🖤 @TheNeverendingTBR
Do you own any clothbound classics? I only have a small collection so far but they are one of my favourite things to collect 💕
Starting this book today, I hope. Getting ready to crank out #20in4 this weekend. How awesome would it be if we could take that Monday off once a month? Have a blessed day💪🏾❤️ #dailycheckin #readathon photo credits to @Mavey and Andrew.
GOALS:
Finish Dear Mrs. Bird (about 20 pages);
Get traction to finish Hound on schedule for book club (about 50 pages);
Read 200 pages for #losersclub book from last month (Desperation).
GO❣️TAK 🤣
pickThis book is unlike most other stories in the Sherlock Holmes archive because a significant portion of it is endured by Watson alone. Holmes and Watson depart when it is decided that there is too much work to be done in London and Watson is to advance in the investigation of the beast as much as he can in Devonshire. This strips the reader of the security provided by Sherlock's quick wit and rapid logic that leads to speedy resolutions.
My trees looks more spooky than like birches, but that may be because of the book... Paint class success!

Mr. Sherlock Holmes, who was usually very late in the mornings, save upon those not infrequent occasions when he was up all night, was seated at the breakfast table.

A wet and wild morning in Yorkshire today, listening to another favourite. So enjoying #Scarathlon2020 and the guilt free opportunity to read my favourite genre, and the IG #48hrReadathon by bookishrealityy #TeamSlaughter 1pt (points for 7/10/20 6hrs reading = 60 pts)
pickArthur Conan Doyle - The Case-Book of Sherlock , and other novels about the detective (3586 p.). In times of quarantine, I've been missing a good detective with a nice ending, when the good guys get the bad ones. It was totally worth it to open the classic novels about the iconic detective. Four books, and the last novels in the collection amazed me as much as the first ones ♡
1. So I think that I will read more or even re-read some of the short stories when I‘m home (I have a physical book of then at home) .. I enjoyed Sherlock but some of the narrators were difficult to get into.
2. I think I know the answer to this one!!!! I‘ll post it as a spoiler in the comments of my Litsy post

pickAnother gem! I really enjoyed this one as well. Not as much as I thought I would (but it might have been the narrator) I have the physical book back home so I might reread it at some point.
But... I am loving Sherlock!

“Watson. Come at once if convenient. If inconvenient, come all the same.” — Arthur Conan Doyle, The Adventure of the Creeping Man
“To a great mind, nothing is little.” — Arthur Conan Doyle, A Study in Scarlet
There a tone of really good quotes :) I love this duo
As for the riddle.. I am gonna have to think about it. Not a single clue right now! (If I come up with something I will post as a spoiler in the comments)

so-so3.5⭐️ Thought it was ok; was better than the previous mystery read but it was still a little ho hum. #ebook #bookstagram #bookreview #fiction #mystery #2020
#7days7books day6 my comfort reading is crime fiction and i think it stems from picking these up as a teenager and reading them on buses back and forth to school with steamed up windows and watching black and white films with basil rathbone. So for me these are influential books and my copies that won't be going to charity shop.
pickI was distracted while listening to this audiobook, so it's difficult to give it the most accurate review.
pickListened to a chapter a day in my podcast feed. I‘m excited to find out what book she‘s starting tomorrow.
Just completed the Hound of the Baskervilles, circa 1902, my first Sherlock Holmes 20th century novel, no cars mentioned yet. I have to say this and Conan Doyle‘s A Study in Scarlet were my two favorite reads of his works so far. I thought the memoirs, the adventures, and the return were decent reading but I confess his larger stories are far more developed and interesting. These pieces were mainly written in periodicals for which he was limited.
I got to see this neat #Sherlock exhibit at the South Carolina State Museum. This copy is an original 1st edition!
We shuffled cautiously towards it, trying every plank before we dared to put our whole #weight upon it. We had taken the precaution of leaving our boots behind us, but, even so, the old boards snapped and creaked beneath our tread. #QuotsyJan20
Happy hump day! I spent the entire day shopping our health insurance, cleaning & finishing up homework. Great way to spend a day off, eh? 😅
I'm finally getting to settle in for the night with my book, a snack of bleu cheese stuffed and kalamata olives, brie & rosemary crackers, and a hard cider. 🤤
How was your day?
I started reading The Hound of the Baskervilles today & I LOVE it! I'm completely clueless to Sherlock Holmes, so I had no idea that it was narrated by Watson or that it would be so funny.
What other Sherlock Holmes novels do I need to pick up?
Fun fact: I have never read or seen a Sherlock Holmes. Is this a good book to start with?
I have a coworker who is so obsessed with these stories that he named his children Sherlock and Irene. I should probably just ask him, but then it turns into a 3 hour conversation. 😅
It's still snowing like mad, so Lucas and I baked some cookies that I bought to support a student's basketball team, and we're going to curl up for the rest of the day. 🍪
Might I trouble you then to be ready in half an hour, and we can stop at Marcini‘s for a little dinner on the way?

pickThis might possibly be my favorite Sherlock story! It has all the Classic 19th c Gothic elements: Fog-steeped moors, dead of the night howling & prowling, a turreted manor house... Sherlock takes on a case in which a baron inherits not only an estate, but a curse! Reason and logic war w/ superstition backed with witness accounts.
N.b. - This is the original story, NOT the TV adaptation-- which differs significantly but is no less entertaining :-)
pickI‘m just hitting two hours as I finish off my most recent Conan Doyle book. Definitely my favorite Sherlock so far!! And perfectly haunting for the season. 🐺

My hold came in from the library so I just had to read this on break😁 #teamstoker #scarathlon @TheReadingMermaid
Thank you so much @AlizaApp I love everything and coincidentally I was just thinking of reading The Hound of the Baskervilles. I think it along with The Murder at the Vicarage and Death Overdue will be great fall reads. Also I tried the pumpkin cheesecake cookies they are really good 💙😺💙
