'Just' a(nother) boxset of 50 short modern Penguin classics from me - which I won't list [grin]
ReplyDeleteNext week is Indie pre-birthday book shopping time though... so BRACE yourself!
How about this year you look at my TBR first to see what you want, and then just buy those? lol
DeleteOoh the Daughter of Sherlock Holmes. And I've never read Scottoline...
ReplyDeleteI'm just amazed that he had the time to father a child, or could find a woman he liked enough to have one with...! [grin]
DeleteGreg - The Sherlock one was a fun read and didn't take long. She's definitely her father's daughter, lol. I've never read Scottoline either but it was a NetGalley find in a thrillers/mysteries email I got the other day, so I am giving it a try.
DeleteCK - She is the daughter of Sherlock and Irene Adler, basically a one-night fling. It's an interesting series. Watson is the only one left of that generation, everyone else is now the "children of" - even Toby, who is accurately named Toby Two. Eleanor found it for me at the library and we love the Enola Holmes series so much, she thought I would like this one too.
DeleteI wondered who Irene Adler was when I read a Colleen Gleason book a few years ago (the gleason series was YA about Holmes' daughter working with Bram stoker's daughter- I think?- it's been a while) but I don't know the Sherlock Holmes mythos so I didn't know who Adler was..
DeleteAdler is the only woman to ever outwit Sherlock, though she was not a villain. I am VERY intrigued by this YA series, I bet Eleanor would like it also.
DeleteNow that I've (kinda recently) finished re-reading the original Holmes books, its about time I read some of the associated others.... Predictably I already have a pile to start working through... [grin]
DeleteI know you typically are not interested in YA/middle grade but the Enola Holmes series really is fantastic. They're so well done. The first six books were the original series and wrapped everything up nicely with an afterward from Sherlock about Enola. The books after that came out around the time the movies started, though are not the basis of the movies. It's such a wonderful series and Enola constantly outwits her brothers. The movies are so much fun, also. I personally found that though I liked the first book in the Sherlock's daughter series, I LOVE Enola forever and ever. I just wish books #7-9 matched the original covers.
DeleteI love the colors of the cover of The Daughter of Sherlock Holmes! Sounds like an interesting read. I hope you enjoy them all.
ReplyDeleteIt was very fun! Eleanor found it for me at the library and thought I would like it because we love the Enola Holmes series so much.
DeleteThe Unravelling of Julia sounds good.
ReplyDeleteI've never read anything by this author before so I am very interested - even though the title annoys me, lol
