Audiobook Review #1

        Sherlock Holmes rediscovered railway mysteries. Four original short stories by John Taylor and narrated by Benedict Cumberbatch. The entire audiobook is only 2 hours and 4 minutes. I am a big Sherlock fan. I have read, listened, and watched many different versions of Sherlock, it gets hard to keep them straight, but I've enjoyed them all.  Of course, not all have the same feel of the characters as the original Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes. 

        I did enjoy the first story in the audiobook. The story is intriguing, but it didn't give me a real Sherlock feel. It does build better as it continues so if you find yourself, unsure as it begins, I would, say keep listening. All four stories were very enjoyable. All in all, the author did a wonderful job at bringing back to life the intricate, and adventurous lives of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson. The narrating of the very talented Benedict Cumberbatch is perfect and brings to life every character of the also talented author John Taylor. Each story has a wonderful mystery that takes you on a thrilling maze through the mind of Sherlock as he gathers clues and solves the puzzle left by each criminal. I would 100% recommend this for anyone who enjoys Sherlock Holmes, or mysteries. The author did such a great job that I was left wanting to hear more. I will be looking for more John Taylor mystery books in the future.

Let's Dream

     Let's dream. I often feel like I dream too big or unrealistic. So here are my big dreams. They may or may not happen and that is okay. I will continue to take steps both big and small. I know that if it is to be then God will open the door in His time.     My first dream is to start a new blog. obviously that one has just begun. I did have a blog about fourteen years ago. It is my hope to share love and encouragement in the Lord with others. That being said I will not bend and twist the word of God to make the world feel better. I definitely don't know everything, and I don't have it all together, but if we're all honest no one does. Take it one day at a time and do the best you can. step by step, and little by little.      I am currently considering taking some writing courses online. I have some story ideas just not sure where to start. Doing my own illustrations is also on my list. I used to enjoy drawing and painting; however, I have foun...
