Summer of Sherlock, and Flist Book Recs

[apple_pathways]

I have claimed my prompt for sherlockmas's "Summer of Sherlock" ficathon! It is:

River Song, River Tam, John Watson; DOCTOR WHO and FIREFLY xover: Shooting gallery at a summer fair.

This may be my first time writing a crossover. I don't usually write them because I'm not familiar with that many canons, but here's a prompt that combines Sherlock, Doctor Who, AND Firefly! It had to be mine. :P

If you'd like to claim a prompt of your own: follow this link! (If you're not sure which one to pick, I'll you which ones were mine so you can claim them. ;)

And remember how I said I was going to take all of your book recs and compile them into a spreadsheet? Well, I have! There was some interest from others in sharing it, so here ya go: follow me!

One of these days, I'd love to host a book rec swapping meme-type thing: where people can ask for recommendations for certain genres/types of books, and people can post stray recs. Is there any interest for something like that?

O_O!

Uh, oops. The 'Thicker Than Water' I read was Mike Carey and the 'A Gentleman's Game' was Greg Rucka. :D

(Huh, the Thicker Than Water on that list sounds maybe interesting o_o)

Ha! I had to guess, since you didn't specify who wrote what. I'll have to fix that, then. :P

I didn't realise both of those titles would have different books.

I must resist giving you heck over seeing me reading a golf book as opposed to a tough lady globetraveling British spy. 8)

Oh hell, I don't know! You could be into golf, what do I know? :P

Just had to say! No harm no foul, I have a big mouth. :D

Truth be told--I did find them both to be rather odd book selections. Thicker Than Water (the one I listed) looks intense: like, seriously upsetting. IDEK, man.

I looked up a longer review - holy crap! That DOES sound seriously disturbing. I thought the 'Thicker Than Water' that I read was disturbing, to the point of "is this hardly FUN" at one point... but Mein Bog, the one you found sounds just as much of a nightmare!
