willaful I'm glad that Jemima wasn't immediately vindictive and isn't letting jealousy blind her to Ruth's blamelessness re F, but, ugh, what a mess. 3w

Cuilin Poor Ruth. I hope Jemima keeps quiet but something tells me she won‘t. 3w

KAO Poor Ruth. It will all come out in the open soon, I fear! I‘m surprised that Jemima didn‘t blab right away, but it feels like a ticking time bomb now. 3w

Clare-Dragonfly Jemima doesn‘t exactly know the truth. Because of course the dressmaker blames Ruth for being a seductress, and not Bellingshit 🙄 3w

AllDebooks Crikey, it's all coming to the boil now. I just wish Ruth would stop being so good and passive and just tell all the judgemental buggers to feck off for once 🤬 3w

dabbe I am so exceedingly grateful that I was born in the 20th century. How unbelievably frustrating it must have been to have been born a Victorian woman. I think I'm still reading because I'm hoping that Ruth will (like @AllDebooks so aptly said) tell all of them to f*ck off and live her life on her terms. AUGH!!! 3w

jewright @dabbe I think about this often. 3w

Bear: A Novel | Julia Phillips

An interesting read in light of the recent question, “would you rather meet a bear or a man in the woods?” In this story, neither. I was sad this book turned from magical to bleak for me, and sad that Sam couldn‘t escape her trauma. Glad to have carried this book with me for this optimal photo while on Mackinac Island 🧸

The Final Problem | Arthur Conan Doyle

Just taking a moment to thank you all for joining us throughout this #buddyread I look forward each week to our discussions, so I for one am glad that this is not the end for #NoPlaceLikeHolmes

IndoorDame I loved this one! It reminded me of the final episode of a 90s tv show. Mycroft shows up cause all the semi-regular cast members have to make an appearance, someone dies but you don‘t know who, or there‘s a terrible accident and you don‘t know if your favorite character will live… But if the show unexpectedly gets canceled over the summer hiatus and they don‘t write a proper resolution it‘s the worst feeling ever!!! 👇🏼 3w

IndoorDame I‘d have hated if this was Sherlock‘s actual ending. And I‘d probably have been devastated reading it at the time thinking that was the case. 3w

Librarybelle I can see why his readers were up in arms over this. Not only to “kill” Holmes but to do it in such a way that leaves more questions than answers. It‘s a good chase story, but as you pointed out @Cuilin , so many questions. 3w

Cuilin @Librarybelle it was certainly an exciting read and perhaps we should be grateful to the unanswered questions as they lead to many interpretations and a way back for Sherlock. 3w

Cuilin @IndoorDame 90‘s tv show!!! Exactly. I‘m looking at you “My So Called Life”. 👀 3w

IndoorDame @Cuilin I was obsessed with that show! 🤣🤣🤣 3w

Cuilin @IndoorDame Same 🤦‍♀️ Canceling it though was unforgivable. 3w

IndoorDame @Cuilin I know! 😭😭 3w

Librarybelle So true, @Cuilin ! 3w

CogsOfEncouragement I think Moriarty is in another league and SH saw how badly he needed to be stopped. M‘s intellect, reach, and numerous offenses do not compare with other cases. Though SH wasn‘t specific, his appearance/weight-loss and actions made that clear to Watson. 3w

dabbe Moriarty's first name is James (that will come up in “The Empty House“). His brother's first name is James. Me? 😳 Could they be the same person? If Holmes survives the fall (like we all know he does), why not Moriarty, who then might pose as his brother as another one of his fronts? 3w

kelli7990 I‘m glad it‘s not our final story. 3w

Cuilin @dabbe here in lies the problem or blessing, if Sherlock can come back, so can Moriarty!!! 3w

Cuilin @kelli7990 me too!!!! 3w

@TheTieDyeDude

@TheBookHippie and I have been on a similar wavelength today. She posted two fabulous songs that I had never heard of re: HC's speech last night. I've been watching/listening all morning to this one by Kate McKinnon and wondering what might have been but thrilled that “the future is here.“ 🩶🖤🩶

Laughing with the Trickster: On Sex, Death, and Accordions | Tomson Highway

Casey and I are back together for a teeny, tiny bit! He helped me finish LAUGHING WITH THE TRICKSTER over breakfast. It was my first Tomson Highway (yeah, I know; lamentable gap) and it definitely won‘t be my last. He‘s got an interesting perspective indeed.

Kate the bar owner

I‘m still unsure about her 🤷🏻‍♀️

Librarybelle We‘re seeing a lot of tough women in this book, made tough to survive in a man‘s empire. 1mo

AmyG Not too sure, either. And yes, so many strong women….vs men. 1mo

TheBookHippie @Librarybelle YES. I do like how it‘s shown, it‘s written well. 1mo

See All 16 Comments

IndoorDame @Librarybelle Yes! I‘m loving that about this! But it‘s interesting that to be successful in this time they‘ve all had to be tough not just strong. And it ends up putting them all in conflict with each other in some way eventually. 1mo

TheBookHippie @IndoorDame Yes!!! 1mo

Librarybelle @IndoorDame Yes! Completely agree! 1mo

Karisa Kate seems strong in her realm but reports back to Mary at lightning speed. Mary is the hub of it all. @librarybelle So strong! 1mo

BarkingMadRead I like Kate more than Mary, but I don‘t trust either of them 1mo

kspenmoll @Librarybelle Yes, tough women making tough choices. I am loving this book! 1mo

vonnie862 I feel like Kate is the neutral person, and her bar is the place where you're not supposed to do any crime. It's almost like the neutral places in the John Wick movies. 1mo

dabbe @BarkingMadRead #ditto!!! 1mo

DebinHawaii I like Kate better than Mary but she is very much going to protect her own interests. I do like all the amazing tough & smart women in this book! 1mo

TheBookHippie @DebinHawaii WHO RUNS THE WORLD?!?! We DO ✊🏼 -me talking to book. 1mo

mollyrotondo I like Kate wayyyy more than Mary. And I agree @vonnie862 that her bar is like the hotel in John Wick lol neutral zone 😂 love that! 1mo

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick At this point, everyone is in someone else's pocket, hoping to keep them happy for safety & protection. I like Kate a little better than Mary, but they all want to control everything so they don't lose their foothold in their respective businesses. Kate sends 4w

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick Kate seems neutral but could be the biggest traitor of all. I can picture her feeding information to authorities so that busts don't happen in her premises. 4w
