Heh, I figure I might as well read Moby Dick once in my life, and I'm a lot more likely to do it this way than the other.

As far as Molly goes, if it helps: I took a look at the upcoming letter dates the other day, and most of January will be pretty slow, so there will be some breathing space to catch up.

I, too, have decided to read the Holmes novels where they go in the sequence, but I'm going to hold off on finishing STUD until the new year, just so all of Holmes canon goes on the 2023 list together, keeping each other company.
