@julieclair ... THANK YOU! I love everything! The Sherlock goodies touched my #sherlocked heart, and I've already started eating the candy--though it's not even noon here yet. I don't think they'll last until Halloween. 😂 I'm thoroughly intrigued by the books as well--can't believe I've never read JAMAICA INN! You spoiled me! 🧡🖤🧡

julieclair Yay! I was so happy to get your name. 😀 I couldn‘t resist adding a little Sherlock. 😉 I hope you love Jamaica Inn! It‘s one of my favorites. 🎃 1w

The Elementals | Michael McDowell

@dabbe I love everything!!! Obsessed with the pin (it‘s going on my trolley driver vest 😂), already ate 2 Reese‘s (delicious!), and I now wish I hadn‘t gone to the library yesterday because this book sounds sooooo good. I also, randomly, really needed pens 🥳 I think tonight‘s gonna be a face mask and chill kinda night..
Also: I‘m reading the perfect book for the Holmes bookmark (The Beekeeper‘s Apprentice) ✅

The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes | Arthur Conan Doyle

I've just received this lovely surprise package and am really touched. Thanks for the presents and the handwritten note. I love everything, but the bookmarks are probably my favourite. Thanks again for guiding us all through this incredible journey of reading the entire SH canon. I had a blast and I'm looking forward to the next chapters of our adventure! ❤️❤️❤️ #NoPlaceLikeHolmes #ForeverSherlocked @dabbe @Cuilin

dabbe Well, this just made my day! Thank YOU for always being there on our discussion days and for offering such keen insights. So glad we're continuing on with the pastiche reads, too! We are #foreversherlocked, aren't we? 💛🤎🧡 1mo

Cuilin My Saturdays still feel strange without a Sherlock discussion. Thank you for all contributions. #Sherlocked #NoPlaceLikeHolmes 1mo

eeclayton @Cuilin @dabbe I miss the Sherlock Saturdays, too. It was always a happy thought throughout the week that there were a story and a discussion to look forward to. 1mo

Sherlock Holmes: The Definitive Audio Collection | Arthur Conan Doyle

pick

This was an incredible audio collection of all the Sherlock Holmes stories narrated by Stephen Fry! I‘ve read and listened to some of the stories multiple times and others just once. Some are phenomenal and others much less memorable, but overall it‘s a wonderful collection.

An accomplishmenet indeed.

The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes | Arthur Conan Doyle

pick

With today‘s last story in the #NoPlaceLikeHolmes discussion group, I read the entire Holmes canon. Thanks to @dabbe and @Cuilin for leading the group.

This final collection of Holmes stories hints at Conan Doyle‘s almost reluctance to write more. Some are good, and some are not up to the caliber of prior stories. Yet, I liked the collection overall. A good way to spend a half hour reading one story at a time. #CatsOfLitsy #Xander #SebastianKitty

Susanita I want to scritch that kitty between his ears. 😻 3mo

rubyslippersreads ❤️ to see kitties reading. 😸 3mo

Cuilin Agreed, I liked the collection too even if they were not as good as previous stories and novels. 3mo

Fridays | Andrew Johns

#5joysfriday this week went fast 1. We were at my sister‘s cottage last weekend 2. Started my Sherlock Lego set 3. The Globe is printing a pic everyday from The Beaverbrook‘s collection, I read The Frame-Up to my class a few years ago and it is set in The Beaverbrook art gallery - it‘s a great middle grade novel 4. Finally started my basement glow up 5. Summer Shakespeare last night was an LGBTQ reimagining of Romeo & Juliet ❤️👏🏻🎉

The Murder of Roger Ackroyd | Agatha Christie

This post contains spoilers

show me

2. The Murder of Roger Ackroyd is considered one of the best if not the best crime novel ever. Crime Writers' Association voted it as the best in 2013, and the Mystery Writers' Association named it the 12th best novel in 1995. Participants cited the twist at the end for their voting choice.

What do you think? Is this the best crime novel or one of the best? Why or why not? #ChristiesCapers #AgathaChristieClubR3

OutsmartYourShelf There are other Christie books that I've enjoyed slightly more, but I'd put this one in my top 10 of Christie reads. 3mo

kspenmoll One of my top reads of hers but she was so prolific it‘s hard to choose! 3mo

MallenNC I can see why this one was voted a top mystery. The ending, the unreliable narrator, and the twisty solution to “who done it.” 3mo

See All 9 Comments

dabbe I still consider AND THEN THERE WERE NONE as my all-time favorite, but this would probably be a close 2nd (though I haven't read all of her books--one of the reasons I'm thoroughly enjoying this group read). And IMHO, THE HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES is the best mystery novel ever. #sherlocked 3mo

MallenNC @dabbe And Then There Were None is my all time favorite also. It‘s so good! 3mo

suvata I‘m also a fan of AND THEN THERE WERE NONE which, I believe, was the first Christie book I read. But, having said that, I was first a fan of Sherlock Holmes. So I would put Sir Arthur Conan Doyle above Agatha Christie. 3mo

BarbaraJean I think it's one of the best and possibly Christie's best, because it's so intricately put together. Her choice to frame it as Sheppard's narrative is superb and accomplishes exactly what is needed for the twist. That said, I honestly don't like it as much as others of her books. Partly because I don't like feeling tricked, even though the clues are all there and what feels like trickery really isn't! I love unreliable narrators, but ⬇ 3mo

BarbaraJean (Cont'd) ...I like to have a sense that they‘re unreliable. I enjoy trying to figure out what‘s true or not, and what‘s being withheld. This didn't feel like an unreliable narrator until really late in the book, because Sheppard keeps himself so completely in the background—so that aspect of it is far less satisfying to me. 3mo

MariaW It is definitely on the top ten list of crime novels because the ending was this unexpected and caused a lot of stir. I would put this one on the same level with The Mystery of the Yellow Room by Leroux, ehich I enjoyed very much. 2mo
