I have also re-posted on a couple of Shelock Holmes novels I read last year. Doyle is such a comfort read.Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17824748902803492123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7521348297206014365.post-34505862796855818062012-06-17T17:41:53.211-05:002012-06-17T17:41:53.211-05:00I recently finished Lyn Shepherd's Tom-All-Alo...I recently finished Lyn Shepherd's Tom-All-Alone's which uses settings and characters from Bleak House to tell a murder mystery story so I thought I would count that one for the Victorian Challenge. I am hoping to read some Doyle and maybe re-read Arthur and George Julian Barnes great novel about Doyle, I will see how I go.Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17824748902803492123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7521348297206014365.post-65636710722848241612012-06-15T13:21:27.842-05:002012-06-15T13:21:27.842-05:00If anyone would like to contribute a guest blog th...If anyone would like to contribute a guest blog this month either about George Eliot or Sir Arthur Conan Doyle their lives or works, please let me know.

I've read Middlemarch multiple times and count it among my favorite all-time books. I love Silas Marner and have read it multiple times, read Adam Bede twice, and liked it better the second time. I was disappointed in Mill on the Floss, primarily because all my life people have been telling me how much I would love it, so expectations were high.<br /><br />I'm currently rereading the SH stories, and just watched the first season of Sherlock, which I loved and recommend.<br /><br />Great post.JaneGShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11094501834387622997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7521348297206014365.post-13292197606902761442012-06-11T12:30:01.012-05:002012-06-11T12:30:01.012-05:00What a terrific post, Laura!
