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
so-soWhen Roseanna came out in 1965, the portrayal of an independent woman travelling alone and being comfortable in her own body and sexuality, thus defying norms of the time, must have been original but is a bit outdated today. I didn‘t enjoy the writing style much either and Beck is a total bore. Overall, it‘s an engaging enough mystery and I love that the series was written by husband and wife (a journalist and a poet). First book in the series.
A blueberry and yuzu parfait is a surprisingly great pairing with Agatha Christie!
pickI‘m growing to love this series: gentle, seemingly soft-touch stories with gentle humour, but covering some tough subjects at the same time.
As one of the official languages of Botswana is English, I‘m claiming this for #English_Speaking #FictionalTraveler @julieclair

Oh my goodness. This is at the British Library! They have the most wonderful exhibitions always beautifully presented and usually only on for 3 months. Dame Agatha has a 6 month run! They‘re obviously expecting it to be busy! Can‘t wait 😝
pickHaving red 'a daughter in time' years ago in which Insp Alan Grant is in a hospital bed, i was interested, to go to 1st in the series. It took me a bit to adjust to the pace + style of 1920's police mystery, but I soon enjoyed the characters + a thrilling chase in the Scottish Highlands. The ending wasn't great, but overall, I enjoyed stepping back in time when people queue for the theatre + get murdered for their trouble. Definitely trying more
All done and time to reconfigure my family room bookshelves
#Naturalitsy #HyggeHourReadathon
For tonight‘s #HyggeHour I‘m reading the latest Encyclopedia Brown book for #EBBR & then catching up on a cozy mystery with my remaining time. I‘m hydrating (it‘s humid) with Hint watermelon water & noshing on this cute Neko Pan (bread with strawberry cream filling).
Mood is tired. Shoulder is still sore & I‘m not ready for Monday. 😵💫
