After all, when Sherlock is put out, people will have a complex to pay for and appreciate it, not the rest.

"No, no, I have to share it with my friends. ”

With that, she took out her phone and took a picture of the cover of the Sherlock book, and then posted it on Facebook, and said, "God! I have to recommend this book to everyone, it's so fascinating, I just read fifty pages in one sitting! This is the best Sherlock Holmes fanfic I've ever seen, I heard that the BBC is preparing to make a TV series, look forward to it!"
