Well, Dickens's "A Christmas Carol," of course, and Dylan Thomas's "A Child's Christmas in Wales," too, but the Sherlock Holmes story, "The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle" always gives me the Christmas feels ? ????️♂️

pickSwitching from Pratchett to British detective novels and back. This version is a radio drama and is very well made. The Sherlock stories are perfect for my commute because the last one way.
Does anybody else see Mark Gatiss in the drawing?
The gales of Storm Arwen have passed over our bit of North West England, bringing a fall of snow. Kid-me was delighted to get out for a walk while it was coming down. Adult-me is delighted that it is already melting and won't affect my work commute tomorrow. Cat-me is cosying up with The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle, a spicy sweet potato salad, and a hot Vimto. Did a glug of red wine fall into my glass? Only Holmes could say 🔎🍷
Out helping the sisters run last minute errands and listening to one of my favorite Sherlock Holmes stories.

Last one for tonight...my grown-up #HolidayReads for tonight was a little visit with Watson and Holmes. Can't go wrong with a little Sherlock on a chilly evening!

I'm late posting this because December has been out of control stressful, which wasn't helped by the fact that I decided to make a giant cake for my book club holiday party that had six distinct components and took twelve hours start to finish. But it was gooooooooooooood. Hells yeah I made those trees! Black Forest Dome Cake + the tagged short story = #bookclubbakes
I found this beautifully illustrated pop-up book at book sale. The colors are amazing and the Blue Carbuncle is a favourite of mine. #sherlocked #sherlockholmes #drwatson #illustration #love #toast #blue #jewels #acd I'll post some of the pop ups so you can see it's awesomeness.
I've been enjoying some Sherlock Holmes stories on serial reader lately. I've found that I don't always have the attention span for longer novels in this format, but I like reading shorter stories this way.
pickIt's too bad we didn't know about this one for Christmas. We could have had #spirited and #Sherlocked at the same time. I liked the twist, and the Sherlock isn't quite the jerk he usually is.
pickAnother fun short story down! I really liked the little twists of this one, and Sherlock actually took a break from being too overbearing. 😉 #sherlocked
pickI enjoyed this one... it had a nice twist to it! #Sherlocked
So far I'm liking it! It seems like it'll be another relaxed story.
Also apparently "jollification" is a word and I'm appalled that I did not know this. #sherlocked
The next #Sherlocked adventure is The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle! The @SerialReader #readalong starts today!
Next up in the #Sherlocked #readalong with @SerialReader is this 3-issue story, which is involved a Christmas goose. Maybe we should have read this one for the holidays? 😀
