The MX Book of New Sherlock Holmes Stories —
Part V: Christmas Adventures edited by David Marcum
A Christmas Goose by C.H. Dye

This volume was first published in 2016. I did start it then, but only got one story in. Despite my best intentions, I didn’t take another run at it until December 2020, when I only managed another handful of its stories. In total, across the seven years it’s been out, I’ve only made it through six of its 31 pieces (as well as the expected stories, there are also poems and plays and whatnot).

Well, here I go again. There are (as maths may have already told you) 25 stories left — an appropriate number for December… if I’d started on time. Doesn’t look likely that I’ll finish it this December either, does it? But you don’t know unless you try, eh.
