Perfect weather today for reading about cricket, far too hot to play it. Hopefully it will have cooled down before next month’s match between the Gentlemen of the Sherlock Holmes Society and the ‘Gold Bats’ of the PG Wodehouse Society.

Great job from @dcsandbrook and @Tabitha1278867 covering THE HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES for @bookclubpodhq - nicely wide ranging with a genuine affection for the book and its author. And I say that even though you incorrectly think THE LORD OF THE RINGS is better. Loved it!
The game's afoot at @bookclubpodhq, as Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson take on THE HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES.
Tabitha and I explore the life of Conan Doyle, the story behind the book, life at 221B Baker Street and the origins of the diabolical Hound...
