Sherlock Holmes Collection:
On my original challenge list, I have The Complete Sherlock Holmes stories and novels listed as ONE book (it is number 55 on that list if you want to check it). The complete collection consists of 4 novels and 5 books of short stories. To make it easier on myself, I am NOT going to add my completion of any of those books to the above list until ALL are finished.

However, I am counting the completion of each separate Holmes book as 1 book read for my "100 books in a year challenge" and for my own records. Confusing? Maybe.

As I finish each Holmes novel or short story collection, I will add the title to the following list. Only when all NINE are completed will I add The Complete Sherlock Holmes to the above list. I should also point out that I will be reviewing each book separately, as well as giving an overall review of the world of Sherlock Holmes. Like above, each entry will link to my favorite entry about that book or story collection.

1. Doyle, Sir Arthur Conan: A Study in Scarlet
2. Doyle, Sir Arthur Conan: The Sign of Four 
3. Doyle, Sir Arthur Conan: The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes
4. Doyle, Sir Arthur Conan: The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes  
5. Doyle, Sir Arthur Conan: The Return of Sherlock Holmes 
6. Doyle, Sir Arthur Conan: The Hound of the Baskervilles 
7. Doyle, Sir Arthur Conan: The Valley of Fear
