Yup, my next read-along is right around the corner! I'll be posting about the first chapter on Monday, Oct. 13. Now, you don't have to sign up for this officially or anything, but if you're kind of thinking you'll be participating and you want to say so here, go ahead :-) Or if you have any questions. I'll be running this like my LOTR read-along, with individual chapter posts that include possible discussion questions and so on. You can join this read-along whether you've never read THOTB before or have read it dozens of times.
AND this read-along might possibly-maybe-perhaps involve a Very Special Guest Interview. Still working on those details, but my heart is pounding just thinking about it. More on that when things firm up. Or don't.
If anyone has an idea for a guest post for this read-along, I would totally be interested. Like a review of a movie version of THOTB, for instance. A comparison of the Sherlock episode "The Hounds of Baskerville" with the original story. Soliloquizing on why Sherlock Holmes or Dr. Watson is so awesome. Your favorite recipe for split pea soup. I'm up for suggestions!
If you're interested in participating, or just want to share the news about this, please consider putting one of these buttons on your blog someplace, with a link back to this post. I'm not providing an html code for them right now, but if you need those, I can figure them out.
I'm thinking we'll do about 2 chapters a week, so not a super-fast pace, but not too draggy either.
I'm in. Perfect excuse for reading Holmes. Now if only "Sherlock" would hurry up and come back.......
ReplyDeleteYay! And no kidding... BC and MF need to stop being so popular and making all these other movies and just do Sherlock.
DeleteMost definitely. But I guess they can't help being so awesome. :-)
DeleteCount me in!
ReplyDeleteCool beans!
DeleteI doubt I'll have time to start this before your first party post, but I'll try to catch up later if work slows down!
ReplyDeleteSounds good :-)
DeleteMy copy's in the mail!! (That is, our library had two copies, but had lost one and the other was checked out until into November. :)) So...all that to say, I'll be participating...and I love the buttons...and one will be going up on my sidebar shortly...and I'm looking forward to it! ;)
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I mean, not awesome that your library didn't have it for you and you had to buy a copy, but... it's a good book to have a copy of :-) I'm glad you like the buttons! The house-and-carriage one is a screenshot I took from the Granada TV version (w/Jeremy Brett) because isn't it perfectly atmospheric? :-D
DeleteOh, good grief, I am so tempted to join in. But I can't, I just can't ....... **** crying pity tears ***** ;-)
ReplyDeleteAww, that's too bad :-( I hope you can enjoy the discussions anyway!
DeleteA little late but I am definitely in!
ReplyDeleteYou're not late! It just started today. Welcome aboard :-)
