I LOVE these. Softest & nicest period underwear I’ve tried. I also have a menstrual cup bc perimenopause means SO much blood 🩸🩸🩸 but the Saalt undies mean I only have to wear it on the heaviest days.

So glad I read these stories, though! I wouldn't have on my own and I enjoyed them plus the other information (side quests) about Conan Doyle! It was a great distraction during the lead up even if I am unable to string a thought together day of. Thank you for organizing this! 🩸

My husband and I watched the 1932 movie as part of our 1930s horror movie binge of Halloween 2023. It is wildly hysterical. I did not read the story but I am watching reactions to the source material with great interest!🩸

I’ve read both Bohemia and Rue Morgue before but LONG ago. I never before realized how Poe created the precurser to the analytical Holmes along with his own Doctor Watson sidekick. 🩸

I remember being irritated by the Moffat Sherlock adaptation because in usual Moffat fashion he created a strong woman but in the end she has to be saved by a man. Moffat just can’t help himself. ACD didn’t insult us. HIS Irene Adler saved herself. 🩸

On Bohemia, what a great day to read the short story where the only person to ever outwit SH was a woman! Now, that was because Holmes was sloppy not because she was brilliant. But I like to think ACD wanted us to understand that he was sloppy because he underestimated her BECAUSE she was a woman 🩸

Probably those old movies? I read constantly from
elementary school on, but was never much interested in deduction type mysteries. Nero Wolfe is as Sherlock Holmes adjacent as I get. 🩸

Poe just discovered the real treasure is the friends we made along the way. 🩸

Okay, I genuinely love that Poe starts “The Murders in the Rue Morgue” with a nonsense take that checkers requires more brains than chess. 🩸

I read a few stories in middle school or high school – and also “The 7% Solution” for some reason – and then mostly ignored Holmes until the Cumberbatch show launched. Then read “A Study in Scarlet” and the most famous stories with my kid a few years ago. 🩸

Before I start with thoughts on Bohemia, I was wondering how everyone was initially introduced to Sherlock Holmes. For me, it was Saturday afternoon TV showings of the old black and white Basil Rathbone/Nigel Bruce movies. As a teen I later read The Complete Sherlock Holmes. #Therewillbeblood 🩸

That memory held up. And she just doesn't really seem that smart to me. Falling for the ruckus that Holmes set up, *and* the fake fire? Understandable and human, but not for the person who's supposed to be a match for Holmes's intellect. She's a cardboard cut-out. 🩸

And as for the Holmes story... I chose it because it's the first Sherlock Holmes short story ever published, and Holmes is supposed to be largely influenced by Dupin, but also because my memory of this story is that Irene is supposed to be THE woman, but she's largely absent from the page 🩸

That first section about types of intelligence and reasoning is rough going, and the question has been raised as to whether or not Poe is being serious with this story. I kinda think he is. He gives me the feeling of a guy who is high on his own supply 🩸

I finished Rue Morgue late last night, so my thoughts on that are fresh, but actually I stand by my earliest take from *squints* a whole week ago 🩸

The way the problem ceased to matter as soon as he understood it! No thoughts of catching the killer orangutan, the victims are props, the perpetrator is a prop, no responsibility to the sailor?!?! It's *wild*! 🩸

It's discussion day! Here's some more doggerel verse to start us off!
Auguste Dupin, Auguste Dupin:
"L'assassin--un orang-outan!"
Singe meurtrier! Quelle recours?
"Bah, la nature suis sa course!"
Ah non! Ta gueule, Auguste Dupin!

If you haven't finished reading, or even if you haven't started, there's still plenty of time! (I literally just finished Bohemia about 20 minutes ago, and have about 10 pages left in Rue Morgue.) #therewillbeblood 🩸

Okay, Bluesky bookclub. We're almost there--the big day! The one we've all been waiting for!
I refer, of course, to discussion day for A Scandal in Bohemia and The Murders in the Rue Morgue. Have you read one or both? How are you feeling about them so far? #therewillbeblood 🩸

I...uh...wow. that story did NOT go in the direction I was expecting. Here I was anticipating a very modern analysis on human observation, and then Poe went in a completely different direction. Huh. #ThereWillBeBlood 🩸

Have finished A Scandal in Bohemia and am starting The Murders in the Rue Morgue. I'm terribly amused that Poe, of all writers, understands how unreliable eyewitness testimony can be and can portray is so hilariously. #ThereWillBeBlood 🩸
