Mycroft and Sherlock: The Empty Birdcage | Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Anna Waterhouse

pick

I am so sad this is the last book in the series!
Mycroft seeks revenge and builds up relationships that will serve him well as he moves in the world of power, but he is at his wits ends when it comes to his brother. Their two cases come to a surprising connection and Mycroft starts to accept Sherlock as he is with help from friends and life lessons.
4.5/5 read for a diverse and really interesting Sherlock tale focused on his first case

dabbe I can't believe I haven't read these yet! 😱 3mo

The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes | Vincent Starrett

@kspenmoll I can't thank you enough for the lovely get-well package. The books are right up my mystery alley (especially the SHERLOCK one, which I haven't read 😱) and will keep my mind busy. The pens are perfect for the lovely journal. The LUCY mug is sooo meee! (I called myself “Crabby Abbe“ as a teacher!) and the post card is hysterical. What brought me to my, though, were the worry dolls. I had no idea how much I needed them. 😅 ⬇️

dabbe I can't believe how this surgery has thrown me for a loop. I thought, “How hard could it be? I mean, I was jogging two days after my hysterectomy.“ I wasn't prepared for the long journey ahead to get it to not hurt anymore. It helps knowing you've been through it, but 2 years? 😱😳😱 These worry dolls have a lot of work cut out for them! 😂 Thanks again, Katherine. I'm so glad to call you friend. 💛💜🧡 3mo

kspenmoll I am so happy the box arrived- I was told it would be delivered Friday this week! Please know you contact me anytime especially to rant! (edited) 3mo

kspenmoll But I also had a big tear in a muscle under my bicep which needed a screw. That actually took longer than my shoulder , that‘s why two years TOTAL healing! 3mo

dabbe @kspenmoll Is it wrong that you just made me happier that mine was not as bad as yours? Thank you for making me feel better and getting me out of my so-sorry-for-me slump. As we know, there are so many other things out there to worry about. My dolls are going to be put to good use! 🩶🤍🖤 3mo

Mycroft and Sherlock | Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Anna Waterhouse

pick

Another excellent book in a good series.
Mycroft receives a diagnosis that makes it hard to justify his hopes for a family, and he tries to help Sherlock develop empathy by tasking him with teaching the boys at Douglas‘s school which leads to Sherlock developing his sleuthing skills as one of the boys mysteriously dies.
4.5/5 read for a fun and historic story with background for Sherlock Holmes and his brother.

Sherlock Holmes vs. Dracula | Loren D. Estleman

so-so

37/100 This series of "Further Adventures" of Sherlock Holmes are very hit or miss. I deem this one a definite miss. While the author does a good job mimicking the writing style of Conan Doyle, the story is kind of flat and the ending is seriously anticlimactic. Other SH stories, like The Hounds of the Baskervilles, had supernatural elements, but they were all explained in logical, reality based solution. I was hoping it wouldn't really be the ⬇️

RamsFan1963 mythical monster, but something more human hiding behind the legend. I wonder why Dracula is never portrayed in the movies with a mustache, since I understand he has one in the original novel. 3 ⭐⭐⭐ #Read2025 #SeriesLove2025 7mo

AnnCrystal I'm the wacky kind, who becomes very disappointed when the supernatural gets debunked 😜😂🧐🧛📚💫. 7mo

Sherlock Holmes of Baker Street: The Life of the World's First Consulting Detective | William Stuart Baring-Gould

A couple of Sherlock Holmes books I didn't go looking for yesterday, but which I found anyway! ?
I'm pleased to have added Baring-Gould's pseudo biography to my collection: it's a 1962 first edition and treats its subject as if historical, in best Holmesian tradition.
The Public Life of Sherlock Holmes is a 1975 review of "the many ways in which the entertainment industry has used, and misused, the best-known character in all fiction." ?

Bookwomble Naturally limited to its publication date, with some neat photos from film and stage. The second half is a catalogue listing the Great Detective's appearances on stage, screen and radio, which is a useful reference, but dry reading, so I won't do that when I come to it.
