I like The Sign of the Four.

So far I like The Hound Of The Baskervilles. I haven't finished it though.

Connor Kinkade (connork) I thought you said you finished it. OH! you haven't been on Goodreads yet.

Connor and Emily do. I don't, though.

Connor and Emily = siblings.

I love that one! I love how Watson gets married at the end! The ending is my favorite out of all the stories.


message 13: by [deleted user] (new)

Getting married was the only selfish thing Watson has ever done.

Yeah, usually those stories aren't to go awwwwwwww for, but when Watson proposed was one of the few exceptions!

No kidding! Of course, I almost cried in A Study in Scarrlette when I found out that those men had killed that girls father and had taken her away. (I'm really bad with names)


message 19: by [deleted user] (new)

Yeah


message 20: by [deleted user] (new)

I cried for hours on end at the end of the last memoir. I forgot what one it was....

Listra (museforsaken) | 4 comments I love The Valley of Fear. It's thrilling. And I like Douglas, since he is very smart. He even gives Sherlock correction. Besides, it's another story where Moriarty is involved.

johanna (jo) (johannad_m) A Study in Scarlet. So far:)


message 24: by [deleted user] (new)

A Study in Scarlet. Amazing. Just amazing.


message 25: by [deleted user] (new)

Thirding the Study in Scarlet motion.


message 26: by johanna (jo) (new)

johanna (jo) (johannad_m) I love how you get to meet Sherlock through Watson's eyes. It's amazing. And since it was the first one I read, it was awesome to be able to meet him at the same time as Watson.

Indeed. If you were in Sherlock's mind then the mystery would be lost because he tends to know almost everything right from the start. It would take the wonder and bewilderment out of his abilities quick as you can.


message 28: by johanna (jo) (new)

johanna (jo) (johannad_m) Exactly ^


message 29: by [deleted user] (new)

Precisely ^^
