It's PO'Monday!

Late May, 2017, and we were in a good mood.

His fur had so many wonderful colors and patterns.

In honor of June is Audiobook Month:

I recommend the Susan Ryeland series, written by Anthony Horowitz.

Magpie Murders, 2017

Narration: Samantha Bond and Allan Corduner

Moonflower Murders, 2020

Narration: Lesley Manville and Allan Corduner 

Moonflower Murders, 2025

Narration:  Lesley Manville and Tim McMullan

Susan Ryeland works for a book publisher, dealing with authors.

That is, until one is murdered.

Anthony Horowitz writes these stories from both Susan's point of view, and the mysteries that the private detective character Atticus Pünd solves from the book she is editing.

Clever, gripping, a touch of humor, and always jaw-dropping solutions.

And poor Susan is always in the heart of the action, whether she wants to be or not.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was born on 22 May, 1859.

The creator of Victorian-era consulting detective Sherlock Holmes character would leave a lasting legacy.

First appearing in print in 1887's "A Study in Scarlet", Holmes's popularity became widespread with the first series of short stories in The Strand Magazine, beginning with "A Scandal in Bohemia" in 1891; additional tales appeared from then until 1927, eventually totalling four novels and 56 short stories.

Why artists like to recreate Holmes and Dr. Watson as cats is unknown, but I surely like them.💗

Note:

Haven't read the Canon of Sherlock Holmes stories in decades; many of them are surprisingly NOT politically correct for modern times.

I prefer to read the character in the hands of these authors;

Laurie R. King:

 Russell & Holmes series, book #18 due out in 2024

Anthony Horowitz: 

The House of Silk, The Three Monarchs, Moriarity

Vicki Delany: 

Sherlock Holmes Bookshop Mysteries

Laurie R. King

Robert Galbraith

C. S. Harris

My current 'want to read' list has 569 books, which does NOT include all the books in an author's series; just the first.

I am a member of several book groups on Facebook, and a question I ask people is, "What are you reading?"

I use Goodreads to keep track of everything, and have access to a handful of libraries AND a Audible account to feed my reading habit.

I am a reading addict; there, I've typed it!

Authors are amazing people; they create new worlds, characters, and emotions in their heads, then are able to publish these stories for the public's enjoyment.  

The above images were found on social media, and included purely for the enjoyment of our readers.

So, what are you reading?
