2017-2018 Chronological Sherlock Holmes Challenge Sign-Up

I thought I was done when I signed up for *just* four year-long reading challenges, but I found two more that are just too fun to pass up -- and technically this one is not a year-long challenge since it runs for 16 months :)



The goal is to read all of the Sherlock stories in order. The pace is set at one per week with three weeks allotted for each of the novels. A story a week just seems like the perfect way to enjoy these tales. Though there is also plenty of leeway in the schedule to play catch-up if I fall behind. And if I get some momentum going, I'm sure it can't hurt to read a little bit ahead to build in a bit of a buffer for weeks I may be extra busy. Several Sherlock books are on my Classics Club list and I've basically been procrastinating since high school when I first read and enjoyed a few stories for freshman English. I will procrastinate no more! I have all of Sherlock in both print and on audio, so I can alternate formats -- and may even try both for some stories -- I shall see what works!

I'll post my sign-up for the other challenge I found tomorrow -- and then that is it for challenges. For real this time :)

    1. Thanks Kay! You should definitely read some of them! This challenge is perfect for me. At first, I thought the pace might be a little slow, but who am I kidding? I need these spaced out to make sure I actually stick to it in between other things.
