And I am once again reminded that most of the time lit-fic is just not my thing. Willa Cather is good with words, but I just don’t get her writing.

I have now conquered the complete Sherlock Holmes.
I’m glad he went for one more round. I liked all of these better than the ones in His Last Bow.

Basically every bad thing that can happen, does. (But by the end, you get a nice sense of resolution, which is necessary because of all the previously mentioned […]
