![]() There weren’t very man in bookstores – often, none. Holmes Shelfie #9Īfter unintentionally causing trauma with Shelfie #20 yesterday (the story continues in Shelfie #21 and has a happy ending!), back to individual shelves.īefore the explosion of Amazon and also of digital publishing, it was tough to find Holmes pastiches. He wrote two books about Holmes and Dracula. I have a couple more in ebook.įred Saberhagen was a big name in the sci-fi field. The other three movies are better-known.īack before pastiches were widely written and available, Barrie Roberts was writing some pretty readable ones. Roger Moore (James Bond) played Holmes in Sherlock Holmes in New York. ![]() I found it rather dull and never re-read it.Ĭouple movie-related paperbacks together. I liked them more than I thought I would.Ĭaleb Carr was very popular when The Alienist was on the NYT Best Seller list. Once I got over how ridiculous the concept was, I found them to be enjoyable Victorian spy thrillers. Other than being brilliant,he’s not the Mycroft of Doyle. Here, Mycroft is actually a mobile, active, crime-solving detective. Quinn Fawcett is actually two writers, who did a spy series about Ian Fleming (the Bond author). There were four (the two hardbacks are on another shelf). Overall, the whole Russell/Holmes thing was a little creepy to me. King’s Mary Russell and Sherlock Holmes series is hit and miss. They were okay, but I’ve never had any interest in re-reading them. The Carole Nelson Douglas books were fairly popular. ![]() I managed to put almost all my standard-sized paperbacks on this shelf. Its’ been neat.īack to 221B Baker Street! This is the back layer of Shelfie #11(Sherlock Holmes #7). And I’ve been adding a comment, talking about some of those pictured. I’ve done a couple fantasy shelves, but mostly I’ve been sharing pics of my over-500 Sherlock Holmes and Arthur Conan Doyle books. I started with my Jack Higgins shelf, and then my Clive Cussler one. With over 2,000 books on 90-ish shelves/cubes, that appealed to me! R/bookshelf is a subreddit where people post their shelfies. If you saw this post, you know that I found a kinda cool group over on Reddit.
