The girl ๐ง with the pearl earring book review
In the run to Halloween ๐ read the appropriately titled Dead ๐ Souls which was an Ian Rankin Rebus novel. It was set in Edinburgh, so I liked remembering my time in Edinburgh last year albeit the book was set whilst the parliament at the foot of Arthur’s Seat was just at a planning stage. Rebus in this book had a few cases ongoing at once.

Lucyโs challenge: Read an underrated Victorian book

General challenge: Read by candlelight
Did not read much as even with 3 candles very hard to see book. Especially as my copy of Dracula ๐งโโ๏ธ has small print. I skipped Jonathon going to Transylvania and read a couple of letters between his girlfriend Mina and her friend Lucy.

Saw Sheffield artist Joe Scarborough talk at Weston Park museum and got him to sign a poster (see photo on Instragram Wonderwall360). He is friendly, funny and love his proper Sheffield accent.
