I'm leavin' on a jet plane...

I'm off on the first of my three trips over this next three-week period. *waves* See you soon! I hope all is well with you, my friends.


FYI, an update about reading Sherlock Holmes pastiches...

More than a year ago, I asked for recommendations of Sherlock Holmes pastiches and received great replies. (Thank you!) I waited until I'd finished going through all of Arthur Conan Doyle's canonical Holmesian writings in order, but now I've embarked on my pastiche reading. I'm still only "baby steps" into the project, but I thought I'd list the novels I've read thus far, ranked in order from my most favorite to my least favorite. My reviews are general, and though they may contain a few spoilers about the premise of a given work, they don't give away any twist endings or key surprises.

There are new entries on my list since the last time I posted an update (and a new title since my general post last week, as well)!

( Here's my ranked list of Sherlock Holmes pastiches read thus far with my reviews. )

In parting, in honor of this brilliant casting news re: Doctor Who...
