dabbe No, you hit it right on the head. Sherlock is condescending to everyone, even Watson. He would be an extremely unlikable character if it weren't for Watson, though. Watson humanizes him. I'm looking forward to reading this pastiche! 💙❄️💙 6h

#DailyPhotoChallenge #Day4 #Snow

We rarely get snow in central Virginia, we get ice. Here is some pretty snow at my old office before it melted in the afternoon and of course became ice in the evening.

Little chipmunk songs 🤣🤣

CatLass007 I didn‘t want to get the audiobook because the print version has pictures. I never would‘ve thought to play the music at 1.5 speed. 😁 2d
ShananigansReads @CatLass007 I rarely listen to a book at regular speed. So it‘s an amusing side effect. I debated reading the print version but I wanted to hear dolly reading it. Probably should have gotten both and had a dual experience. 2d

I‘ve spent all day trying to figure out how to interpret day 2 of the #WinterGames #DailyPhotoChallenge which is love. I‘ve decided to go with a series I love by an author I love. Honestly I love all of her books but this series is really special.

I‘ve never read a Sherlock Holmes book before. Is this normal?

wanderinglynn Sort of. Sherlock Holmes was supposed to have a genius level IQ with incredible deductive reasoning and attention to detail. But in the original stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, I wouldn‘t say he talked to Watson as if he were a dimwit. (edited) 3d
dabbe I also think the early movies in the 1930s (with Basil Rathbone as Sherlock) portrayed Watson as a bumbling dimwit (Nigel Bruce brilliantly playing said dimwit). The original canon does not portray him that way. He is seen as less than a genius (aka Sherlock) but by no means an idiot. It's kind of like seeing Karloff in FRANKENSTEIN in the same era. The real monster did not have green skin and electric bolts--totally different than the original. 3d
Bookwomble What @dabbe said! Sherlock is often dismissive of the intellectual capacities of others, and did give Watson a hard time occasionally, but he had a genuine respect and love for his biographer 🫂 2d

#FavoriteHolidayTradition #SelfieScavengerHunt

My bestie and I were so happy to bring back our seasonal tradition of going across town to get ice cream while listening to Christmas music. We may or may not do this more than once a season. 🤫

#WinterGames #UglySweaterSquad #USS

TEArificbooks My family does this on New Years Eve. Our first New Years Eve married, I had a crazy craving for ice cream at 11:30. We went to a fast food restaurant drive thru and the tradition began. Now we go to Cold Stone, but usually in the middle of the day because they close early that day. 4d
dabbe Adorable! I think it should be a Friday treat throughout the month! Thanks for sharing! 🩵❄️🩵 4d

The #USS team read is perfect for the first #DailyPhotoChallenge to kick off #WinterGames I started the audiobook on the way into work this morning. This genre is generally not my thing so we‘ll see how it goes.

Here‘s my wrap up for #NovelNovember

My page goal was 1,000 and I read 975! I really need to pay better attention cause I really could have squeezed in 25 more pages last night.🤦🏾‍♀️ I finished the two books and got 80% into the third. And most importantly I enjoyed every one of them.

Thanks you @Andrew65 for hosting.

1. I‘m not an ugly sweater girl. I do have tons of Christmas pjs though and I usually wear them to parties cause why not?
2. It‘s a tie between My Kind of Christmas by Christina Aguilera and The Temptations Christmas Card
3. The Holiday, Christmas Vacation or A Charlie Brown Christmas, more Holiday than winter but it‘s what I watch during the winter.
4. I‘d be pissed either way but a little less so with a jacket without a hood. Wet socks ⬇️

ShananigansReads Are the devil. 5. I enjoy the Christmas season but I hate putting up/taking down decorations so I don‘t decorate. 🤷🏾‍♀️ (edited) 1w
dabbe I'm totally with you on #5. I might get a poinsettia and a pine wreath, and that's about it. I love looking at other people's decorations, though! 🤩 Thanks for sharing! 🩵🩶🩵 1w
