My first venture into Lovecraft. If you like the story, check out the 2005 film adaptation by the H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society. It is very faithful to the source material and done in the style of a 1920s silent film, as if made shortly after the story's publication.

My first venture into Lovecraft. I read a few HPL stories from an omnibus I got for Xmas a few years back. Creepy stuff.

I just started rereading the Joe Grey (talking cat) series by Shirley Rousseau Murphy, she no longer writes, she is 96, but I always enjoyed this series as well as her other books. This is not a child's or even young adult series but a series written for adult cat lovers.

That looks like a cool volume of continuation stories. I own all of Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes. But I never got around to reading them. I've been wondering if I should go up a shelf or down a shelf when I finish my current shelf, which includes my Bond novels. I've decided to go up a shelf (D for Doyle precedes F for Fleming). Of course it will take a while for me to get there.

The new anthologies tend to be hit and miss, but I always enjoy reading about these characters.

Getting ready to wrap up this one: And read what I call a "crappy romance" (Brain Doritos) in the meantime. (The ugly duchess by Eloisa James)

I finally finished reading Stephen Fry's incredibly erudite and amusing trilogy: Mythos, Heroes, Troy. I love Greek Mythology so I enjoyed them very much.
I've just started reading Ghost on the Throne (The Death of Alexander the Great and the Bloody Fight for His Empire) written by James Romm.
