I've been gone a while. I started reading fanfiction to escape and I got sucked in an abyss.

I have no idea if someone else is hosting similar challenges. I just grabbed some of what I have hosted before.

Here's to a happy year of great reading
Jan2023: Not much has changed. Writing a fanfiction now O_o as well as reading but I bought 7 new books in December and hope to get those read soon. Crossing fingers about adding challenges (late!)

Sherlock Holmes Challenge

Sherlock Holmes
Reading Challenge
2017-2018

The idea is to read ALL of Sherlock Holmes in chronological order. That's right, 56 short stories and 4 novels.

The pace will be a week per short story and 3 weeks for each novel but other schedules are allowed. The order to follow can be found here, with few changes.

So, since I do own The Complete Sherlock Holmes, I thought I'd give this a try. The sad thing that as it's all one book, I can't count it until it's finished and if I don't finish it in one year, it doesn't count at all. Not a problem, it's just one book right? Yeah, and 1,874  pages! Well, I'll may count the stories that have their own ISBN for other challenges.

I guess I'll be writing down the titles as I finish them. It's a start
