Advent 2020 Day 1
Dec. 1st, 2020 08:50 pmTea: Moroccan Spice - Cinnamon, chicory, licorice, peppermint, ginger and orange herbal tea.
Book: The Collected Raffles by E.W. Hornung
Candle: (Probably) Winter Wonderland
Reading Progress - pp169-223, The Fate of Faustina; The Last Laugh and To Catch A Thief
( Spoilers for Raffles )
It was a shorter session than intended today, so I may pick up the next story after quiz night.
( And indeed I did return )
Session number two of the night has nearly finished my candle, and got me through The Black Mask; next up is A Thief In The Night. I absolutely recommend Raffles if you like Holmes/Watson. There is a very good reason that most critics read Raffles and Bunny as in love with each other. Bunny is certainly besotted with Raffles, and although he is an unreliable narrator, I feel like his reading on the situation tends to err on the understated side. The affection is clearly very mutual.
