Sorry this will be long; forgot to update here recently.
Recently read:
- Lock & Mori (and it's sequel Mind Games) by Heather Petty. I still have the last book in the series, Final Fall, to read but I'm kinda putting it off. It's basically a YA version of Holmes with a genderbent Moriarty. Also they're dating and Holmes is adorable--the best boy, I'm love him so much. My big problem with it is that Mori is the main character, and it's told in first person, and I just...never connected with her. Ever. She's never felt like a Moriarty and it's difficult to suspend disbelief enough to think she'll eventually become a criminal mastermind when she's the most impulsive character in the series. Overall, it's not bad--Sherlock and Mycroft are especially good--but I'm kinda eh about finishing the series.
- The Lost Special by Arthur Conan Doyle. Train goes poof, newspaper details how they found out who vanished it...eight years later. It was nice but really hard to find.
- Years Ago and in a Different Place by Michael Kurland. -lays down, tries not to be sad, is still sad- I read this one a long time ago but decided to reread it recently and this line still gives me so many thoughts and feels:
Started:
- The Art in the Blood by Bonnie Macbird. I don't know if I'll finish this. The writing style is really nice and it is Holmesian and I'm curious about the case, but it's massively out of character and I'm angry that she went from writing the original Tron to this. Maybe on a day where I'm bored and have literally nothing else to read.
- London and the Culture of Homosexuality, 1885 - 1914 by Matt Cook. Research. Like an over-worked cake, it's short and dense, but I'm hoping it'll have some useful info in it and that it won't be too difficult of a read.

“I didn’t know what you knew,” he said. “I was a fool. But you—what were you?”
I had no answer for him. Perhaps I should have guessed what Lucy intended. Perhaps I did guess. Perhaps, on some unconscious level I weighed the options of her ending her own life, or of her facing an English jury, and then being taken out one cold morning, and having the hood tied around her head and the heavy hemp rope around her neck, and hearing a pusillanimous parson murmuring homilies at her until they sprang the trap.

. Evan Stanley actually got hired by Archie to work on the actual Sonic comics so thats a plus.
