Back in 2018, I was reading the biography of a Sherlockian and he said that he reads at least one Sherlock Holmes related book a month and I found this very intriguing. So in 2019, I decided to give this reading goal a try. I also found all my other Holmes related books that I have read over the years and listed them too. So many Holmes books, so little time!
