I’ve been trying to come out of a reading slump by returning to some old favorites!

I’ve already read most Sherlock Holmes stories, but I haven’t gotten to every single one in His Last Bow or The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes, so I’ve borrowed a complete collection and promptly gotten sidetracked by rereading The Hound of the Baskervilles.

I also finally got around to reading the Anne of Green Gables series, and absolutely adored the first few books. The older and more restrained Anne gets, the less engaging I find them, but it’s a very comfortable series and I was gifted all eight paperbacks, so I soldier on through book seven. Anybody else in the community doing some recent reading?

Ooh, congratulations! I’ve had a few ladybugs around my yard, but I’m mostly overrun with false chitbugs instead of aphids, and they don’t seem to be making a dent. Hope your buggy community keeps thriving!
