#12BooksOf2025 @TheEllieMo

November: THE HOUSE OF SILK by Anthony Horowitz

Thoroughly enjoyed reading this SH pastiche with #TheLitsyIrregulars (#TLI). 🩶🤍🖤

TheEllieMo I didn‘t know this existed! 11h

dabbe @TheEllieMo The book, group, or both? 🤣 6h

TheEllieMo @dabbe I meant the book, but actually the statement applies to both! 3h

dabbe @TheEllieMo 🤣 Horowitz was the only writer asked by the SH estate to write a pastiche novel. His other one is MORIARTY, and it's fabulous, too. 2h

Unquiet Spirits: A Sherlock Holmes Adventure | Bonnie Macbird

What a lovely surprise, @kspenmoll! Would I ever look away from ANY SH ANYTHING? Never! I stacked it based on your review (as you know), and then you send it to me when you're done! How lovely is that? Plus an added Christmas story bonus. You spoil me, m'dear. Thank you, my friend! #foreversherlocked 🩶🤍🖤

GinaKButler @dabbe I‘m sorry…I worded my question poorly. What book are you using for your #doublespin? I scrolled back in your feed and it didn‘t name specific books. The writing on the picture was so small I couldn‘t tell. Thank you! 2d

Deblovestoread Is this your graphic? I would love to borrow if you don‘t mind? (edited) 2d

(continued)

OutsmartYourShelf Not having read any of this author's Sherlock Holmes books before, I wasn't sure what to expect. The first three were a little ropey but the stories then steadily improved. I thought the author captured the characters quite well for the most part, although there were a few times where Holmes seemed to act out of character.
