I have decided to join the challenge at the Princess level, meaning I am required to read 8 books that fall within the given parameters between now and March 1, 2012. I TOLD you I have a lot of Sherlock Holmes to read!
If all goes according to plan, I'll be reading the following:
By Sir Arthur Conan Doyle--
-A Study in Scarlet
-The Sign of Four
-The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes
-The Hound of the Baskervilles
By Jane Austen--
-Mansfield Park
UPDATE (December 16, 2011):
By Charles Dickens--
-The Chimes
-The Cricket on the Hearth
Since I chose three books from this period for the Christmas Spirit Reading Challenge, I decided to overlap these two challenges, to give myself a little more breathing room so I don't get completely bogged down.
Good luck on your to-read pile! You now also have a new follower :) oh, and I think the Dorothy Parker award is hilarious! There have been quite a few books that I've just wanted to throw violently (preferably towards the author) and this seems a good enough substitute for the time being!
ReplyDeleteI have always wanted to read Sherlock Holmes, thanks for putting the idea in my head, I may just read it for this challenge. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteIf you wanted to get double-credit for reading Holmes, you could also join the Baker Street Challenge (http://bakerstreetchallenge.blogspot.com/)
ReplyDeleteI love me some good Victorian and Regency books! I finished Northanger Abbey this year as well.
Thank you for pointing this one out to me, Bev. I do believe I will join the Baker Street Challenge!
