I am under the belief that audiobooks are books, no matter what the current argument is. Just because one isn’t sitting either on their Kindle or with a paper book in their hand does not make the story any less exciting and engaging. Audio dramas, however, are up in the air because, while the stories … Continue reading A Devilish Good Time

There and back again
Welcome back my friends! Already it is near the middle of August and here we are. I've bought so many good books this past month, and read even more and I can't wait to share them with you. First, my trip to London was wonderful! I had so much fun and visited so many historic … Continue reading There and back again
London Calling
Hello friends! June is almost over and July is only a few days away. I will be taking the month of July off from writing this blog. Why? Because I'm going to England! Almost two weeks in the heart of London with side trips to the country and to Scotland. It's something I've wanted to … Continue reading London Calling
My rabbit hole is the size of Reichenbach Falls.
I fell down a rabbit hole this past weekend. It started with a comic book, A Study in Emerald. Then it was Major Holmes and Captain Watson. Then I was reminded that I ordered another comic, Mycroft Holmes and the Apocalypse Handbook which I'll be reviewing next week. During my search and discussion of Holmesian … Continue reading My rabbit hole is the size of Reichenbach Falls.
Why’s everyone gotta pick on Archduke Ferdinand?
Happy June everyone! Last year I reviewed two LGBTQ books but this year it’s the month of Sherlock Holmes comics. But never fear, because Sheffield Holmes is here! Last review we had Sherlock Holmes (sort of) in alternate Victorian London where Lovecraftian Elder Gods ruled. This week we have Sherlock Holmes (sort of) in an … Continue reading Why’s everyone gotta pick on Archduke Ferdinand?
A Study in Sherlock Comics
There’s an old adage in the Ghostbusters/ Real Ghostbusters fandom that dictates that when writing fanfiction, you can crossover GB/RGB with any fandom. I’m beginning to thing this adage may apply to Sherlock Holmes as well. There are so many pastiches and variations surrounding Sherlock Holmes. He’s met Dracula, Jack the Ripper, Scooby Doo, The … Continue reading A Study in Sherlock Comics
April conventions
Hello friends. How has your April been? I know I missed a week this month, a week where I would normally post my bi-monthly musings, but I had just gotten back from a convention. It was the first convention out of state I’ve attended since 2019 so it was an exciting time. 221B Con, a … Continue reading April conventions
The Lion Sleeps Tonight
While I am a fan of Sherlock Holmes pastiches, I must admit I have a soft place in my heart for stories that are based on other characters in the canon. There's an interesting series for young adults that deals with Mycroft Holmes' daughter and Irene Adler that is really good as well as the … Continue reading The Lion Sleeps Tonight
It’s a Review. Looking back on some of my favorite reads of 2021
I know other blogs did this at the end of 2021 but I figured I'd start out the new year with a two-parter before I got back to the business of reading books. This week we'll be looking at some of my favorite reads from the last year (mostly because I want to squee over … Continue reading It’s a Review. Looking back on some of my favorite reads of 2021
And you thought the Blue Carbuncle was the only Christmas Story.
Is there really a better way to end out a year of book reviews than with Sherlock Holmes? I say nay. Which is why I was excited to find Sherlock Holmes: The Twelve Days of Christmas by Roger Riccard. Twelve short stories fitting enough to join any pastiche and to add to the holiday festivities and rituals … Continue reading And you thought the Blue Carbuncle was the only Christmas Story.
