I'll read it too. It's an easy choice for me as I've the complete Sherlock stories on ebook and I'd already read the two 1st stories.

Cait (clickcait) | 480 comments I really enjoy the Sherlock Holmes stories. I was thinking about using one of them as the short stories collection. I prefer the shorter Holmes stories to the longer ones. :-)


misplacedselchie | 347 comments Great choice! This was by far one of my favorite Holmes books :)


misplacedselchie | 347 comments You want to know some fun Sherlock trivia? Nowhere in the entirety of the series does Holmes actually say "Elementary, my dear Watson.". I didn't believe that at first, lol


misplacedselchie | 347 comments Lol I was surprised too, but it is true. You'll find him call things "elementary" and sometimes he will say "my dear Watson" but never all together

I'm so disappointed! Next time you'll tell my Watson doesn't write on a blog about Sherlock. Oh wait, it's just in the tv show, the old Watson used books :p

Who watch Sherlock on BBC One? I like it a lot :)


Tammy I'm in. I have it waiting on my Kindle.

Bana AZ (anabana_a) | 414 comments I really enjoyed this book! I read it in a Sherlock collection, though. I assigned it to my Grade 9 students and they liked it, too. They said it's the only assigned reading that they enjoyed so far.

I'm rewatching the series with my mom. I'm obsessed! I'm going to London in 5 months to check out some of the filming locations (Speedy's St. Barts), as well as see Benedict in Hamlet :)


Tammy I enjoyed it! Now I want to finish the collection!

Anastasia (anastasiaharris) | 319 comments My family loves Sherlock on BBC. I will be reading the Scarlet Letter as my book published 100 years ago. It was recommended to me by my son, a grade 9 student :)
