vivdunstan: Sidney Paget drawing of Holmes and Watson in a railway carriage (sherlock holmes)
Back in April I blogged about my plan to reread all the Sherlock Holmes short stories in sequence. And blog through them as I go.

That plan was put on hold while I was extremely ill again from May through August. But I'm now firmly back on track. Already part way through a reread of "A Scandal in Bohemia". And making notes for a blog post/review/critique/reflections.

So blog post upcoming. Not my favourite Holmes story, but I'm having a fresh appreciation for it this time. And definitely appreciating it more than 11-year-old me did in 1984, watching the Jeremy Brett TV version.

The Holmes short stories are also an extremely tempting reading option, one at a time, if I feel I need an alternative to my current fiction book(s) or rather more heavy-going non-fiction books.

More soon ...
