'Harm's Way'
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."
It's the things an interesting review of and I go to look at them and, hey, on sale, so I get it but I'm not going to read it right now because in the middle of whatever and then when I'm scrolling through my library later I can't remember why I bought it that are my real problem.
But I think that's how I got The Affair of the Mysterious Letter, so, you know, not gonna stop.
My biggest problem is I'm very visual. So if it's out of sight, it's definitely out of mind. There are books on my Kindle I've tried to buy twice because I forgot there were there.
I've a mind to send you Alexis Hall's The Affair of the Mysterious Letter.
That sounds like the kind of mystery I like! I also need to eventually range Jonathan Strange and ... whatever whatever.
I've a mind to send you Alexis Hall's The Affair of the Mysterious Letter. Not a romance, but good lord, it's a juicy, wordalicious fantasy take on Holmes and Watson that blew me away.
Taking note! The last couple of "takes" on Holmes I've read were major letdowns.

Very much this!

If John Watson was a trans man, and Holmes was actually a wickedly self-interested, brilliant, lesbian sorceress sharing a flat in a multidimensional city and they are solving a mystery that cuts across time and space?

Oh my.
I loved Mysterious Letter so so much!
It's pretty great. From what I can tell the author's other works have mostly been m/m romance, but I haven't read those. TAotML might be my favorite Holmes homage, though.
Alexis Hal is definitely mostly m/m romance—modern. But snappy language and chock full of some amazing representation.
Glitterland captured bipolar illness with comedic elegance and a sexy, sexy audio narration (same narrator as AotML.)
And Arden St. Ives gives me life.
AH's newest is coming out this summer. (Bated breath.)
You guys Sarah Gailey retweeted me and I am fangirling ALL OVER THE PLACE
Rock star!
ETA I had to search Twitter real quick. I suspected you might've gotten involved in that whole pasta thing but your tweet that was actually retweeted is perfection
