30.3 Katrisa Task: The Game is Afoot!

I love Sherlock Holmes stories in so many of their incarnations. This task is devoted to my favorite deductive detective.

Read two books, from 2 different options. If using option 3, only one of A, B or C may be used i.e. you cannot use option 3A and 3B as your two different options.

Requred: State the options you choose.

Total Pages must be 500+

Option 1: The Original

Let’s start with the OG Holmes and Watson! Read a Sherlock Holmes book from Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes Series
Sherlock Holmes Series


Option 2: Continuing Sherlock

Sherlock has been used as a character in MANY retellings. Read a book from one of these lists featuring Sherlock Holmes characters.
Beyond Conan Doyles
Best Sherlock Holmes Fiction

Required: State the chosen list and page number

Option 3: My Favorite Sherlock Shows

A: Elementary - The television show Elementary stars Jonny Lee Miller and Lucy Liu as Holmes and Watson.Choose either Miller’s or Liu’s television (not movie) list and read a book with a word of at least four letters from one of the television shows in the TITLE (not subtitle). Word must match exactly.

Required: State the chosen list and the show title

B:Sherlock - I also love the Benedict Cumberbatch Sherlock. For this task read a book with a word of at least four letters in the TITLE (not subtitle) from one of the episode titles from Sherlock you can use an episode from any of the series and the special). Word must match exactly.

Required: State the episode Title

C: Robert Downey Jr./Jude Law - Finally I also think the Robert Downey Jr. Sherlock movies are fun and hilarious. Read a book where the ALL of the author’s initials can be found in ROBERT DOWNEY JR. JUDE LAW. You can use any combination of the actors’ names (for example you could use T from Robert and W from Law for initials TW) but letters can only be used as often as they appear.

Just an fyi since you are a fan - In the spring challenge, I read This Is Not a Book about Benedict Cumberbatch: The Joy of Loving Something--Anything--Like Your Life Depends on It, which is sort of about him and the series.

Thanks Robin!

I was wondering if Agatha Christie's Hallowe'en Party would work for Option 3a: Lucy Liu's TV list - show was Michael Jackson's Halloween. The apostrophe in Christie's title is throwing me off :)

Thank you!

[Katrisa]

I'll have to say no because the task does say that the word has to match exactly

Option 1 - A Study in Scarlet (This is my copy for 175 pages)

Option 3A - Little Spirit: Christmas in New York (Lucy Lui's TV programme) - in exchange for The Little Friend (Which is 642 pages for my copy)?
