I've only read a couple of stories one I didn't finish and another being the Adventure of the Dying Detective, but I've seen so much of the Sherlock Holmes shows and movies that I'd like to read the source material. My mom actually is reading The Hound of the Baskervilles for her reading challenge. (She ADORES Sherlock)
(A bit off topic but hope you dont mind)anyone planning on Reading a romance since its february,aka valentines month?
I hadent really thought about it but a goodreads friend started anna and the French kiss because its feb. So I thought why not. I might read

I'm still reading
. But after that I think I want to read
and I'm not sure after that! I might reread a few so I can go further into series...

Big time, there's so many to choose from there's a Sherlock for every taste.
I have seen BBC Sherlock, that version is one of my favorites. I actually have season 3 on DVD (my favorite season at that) but one of my favorite Sherlocks is actually Sherdog from the manga Sherlock Bones, I'm just missing volume 7 out of the entire series (I hope it gets picked up as an anime one day that'd be nice)
I've seen the RDJ Downey movies that's actually what got me into Sherlock Holmes (my mom has always been a huge fan but I resisted until recent years. XD;) And I started looking for anything else related because I couldn't get enough. I've even seen the cheesy 22nd century cartoon. (And man was it cheesy)
XD Just how I work.Yeah, I wasn't big into mysteries as a kid, so when my mom would try to get me into it, I would just roll my eyes and move on. Ironically one of my favorite animes Detective Conan/CaseClosed, the main character is a Holmes fanatic so there was a movie that took place in London even going to Baker Street. Got me curious and well... After the RDJ movies, I finally just gave in and gave it a real try... And now I really love it.
The wedding episode was my favorite! Loved Sherlock's best man speech!
I always have a shifting to-read list, but definitely at the top is Cinder. Cinder I have heard soooo many good things about this book. I can't believe I haven't read it yet.
Well my list completely changed and I haven't read any of my last "next five" list. Too many shiny books appeared in between.
Let's try this again!
Two of the above are from my Pick It For Me challenge! :)

Karen,most of the time my lists are wish lists not realistic. They can be filled With 2 books I own and 3 books I wish I own. If you see on my past lists you see I rarely change books altogether.
after all the list is called WANT to read not, PLAN to reaf. so yea, these are my hopefully\wishing to read lists.

I tend to make lists for each month so I don't have to stress out and stand there in front of my shelves for hours on end because I can't decide what to read. My next five should be along these lines:
Time for a new one! I've read 4 off of my last list! Right now reading
Then its:
Shadow and Bone would be a reread
Then its:
Shadow and Bone would be a reread
I only read one from my last list whoops. My current list:
(I already started and need to finish the last two, ha.)
These were drawn straight from my TBR jar as that is now how I am doing things since I have such a hard time choosing what to read since I have so many unread books on my shelf and Kindle lol :) These are my March reads:
I may not get to all five, many only get to four of them but am going to try!

What I did was make a TBR jar with all the books on my shelf and on my Kindle and I can only draw from those. I put in 3-4 bonus books in my TBR jar I don't own and IF I draw one of these I can buy a book, if not no. The only way I can buy books now is if I receive a gift card. I had to do this as I was just buying all the time and and not getting enough read. Its working out great so far!
1. Dead Ice by Laurell K Hamilton2. Firewalker by Josephine Angelini
3. Rogue Julie Kagawa
4. The Infinite by Lori M Lee
5. The White Rose by Amy Ewing
I'm impressed. I actually read 4 out of my last list! My list is always so sporadic depending on what shiny penny of a book distracts me, but here goes:
wow my last list was a bad one, I'm still only halfway through Bloodhound and haven't touched the rest. time for a new list, methinks...
Daughter of Smoke & Bone is going to be a reread but I'm so excited for it!
I finished two books from my list so that's better than last time. hahaI'm almost done with
.Then I want to read:

Not sure how to add the covers.

Emily, there should be a question at the bottom of the "add book/author" box that you can check either link or cover. Just check the cover box. :)
