Yay, Lisa and Kim! Keep killing!

Sherlock has been one of the biggest surprises and joys for me in this challenge. I don't know what I'm going to do when I no longer have Holmes and Watson to spend breakfast with.

[Janice, Moderator]

Lisa and Kim, you've been badged.

[Cherie]

Oh, Lynda, you have no idea! There are so many Homes and Watson books out there. Some good, some not so. There are short story anthologies and series galore. Seems like everyone has written a story or book with them in it. I still have quite a few on my TBR list.

Thanks Janice!

[Lynda]

That's good to know, Cherie. They are delightful.

[Marie Claude]

Finished X a few minutes ago (and didn't like it), which in its lonesome (at least it has some utility), help me finish another level. So, I have now finished Level 9 :)

Now will have to decide whether or not I read the new Louise Penny immediately, or wait... I am so afraid of being as disappointed as I was with the Grafton...

That's about what I decided to do from the start and ended up reading a lot of books from "almost finished" series which means I could finish some levels... I have at least 3 levels for which I only had to read one book since I only missed the last one and they were more than 10 books long.

I think the most important aspect of this challenge is not the levels we go through but the fact we are getting to (or through LOL) series we sometimes have neglected the last few months or years :)

I was at the library today looking at the for sale books and saw The Sherlockian for sale. You might enjoy it. I did.

[Sam]

And I have finally killed my level 6! :-D

[Cherie]

Way to go, Sam! Great that you are going to keep killing those series with the rest of us crazies.

[Sam]

Thanks Cherie, finding myself struggling to actually finish series' at the moment. I keep managing to start new ones instead!

[Dominique]

This has been so much fun. I'm enjoying rediscovering series that I started long ago and have found so many new ones to explore. I'm trying to squeeze in as much as I can before the end of the year. Great challenge!

[Janice, Moderator]

I'm glad you're enjoying the challenge, Susan. I have a couple of series that will require a reread of the first book because I've forgotten most of the details.

[Stephanie]

Great work, Stephanie and Susan!

I gave you your badge, but you need to identify the series you killed on your reporting thread. I can figure it out, but I don't like having to work too hard at it. :)

[Deborah]

oooo! so sorry, Janice - I clearly didn't think that one through - mea culpa!

[Janice, Moderator]

No problem. It's all sorted now.

Totally with you. I finished the series Friday on my way home, and I'm missing them a lot!

[Beth]

Finished level 9. Saying goodbye to Holmes and Watson. Have a couple Eve Dallas ones on the audible account, so those will be next.

[Deborah]

I have killed off level 6 - Kinsey Milhone by Sue Grafton :)
