Look at this amazing gift!
It's a Strand collected volume that includes the issues that had The Greek Interpreter (first Mycroft Holmes!) and The Final Problem (secret Mycroft appearance!).
My pen pal is the best at gifting.

Really glad I am a Sherlock & Co. Patreon as I don't think I would have survived listening to the end of the Hound of the Baskervilles week by week, given the cliffhangers.

Today was the Winter Art Fair Off the Square, where a friend set up this display at their booth. The coordinating pieces at center left are titled Sherlock and Moriarty, and they're going to be mine!

I was sent a copy of the Marvel Tarot deck two years ago ... and I was finally going to write about it now that it's seasonal but it appears to be out of print. Hmm.

Enjoyed reading While the Patient Slept, a 1930s murder mystery by Mignon Eberhart. Then I discovered there's a movie! Starring Aline MacMahon and Guy Kibbee (as Detective O'Leary, who is supposed to be handsome...) and Lyle Talbot.
