Okay so my 3 recs are -

1. Jillybean & the body By Peter M (Thriller)
2. Short stay in the hell By Steven H Peck (Horror)
3. A Study in scarlet by Arthur C Doyle (Mystery)

Okay the third one has me LOLing . Recommending Sherlock to me is basically a cheat code to make sure I'll say you gave me good recs .

I've been itching to re-read Sherlock... and Study in Scarlet is my fav . But I'm not sure whether re-reads count for the Book Bingo... so maybe I'll go with one of the other two first (provided I can find them online).

Thanks for taking the time to give me such wonderful recs Sakshi . I'll honor it by reading all 3 within this month .

Hope you feel better and can get back to your own reading soon

Afaik, there was no rule not allowing re-reads. But yeah let's confirm with Lizzie once.

Liz, do you allow re-reads for Bingo ?

While re-reads are okay, just want to remind you that the minimum 60 pages requirement will hold for the Bingo. And multiple fics in the same log won’t work, meaning whatever you read has to be more than 60 pages. Just mentioning this since Study in Scarlet is a short story and might not make the cut.

Study in Scarlet is not a short story... maybe you mixed it up with the other shorter stories of Holmes... but this is one of the 4 novels. Amazon kindle shows print length of 175 pages :)

No I didn’t mix it up, I own a paperback Sherlock Holmes collection and it’s less than 60 pages in this one but I didn’t check Amazon’s print length so it should be fine if it’s published on its own with a print length of more than 60 pages.

Okay... now that you say it, I've the paperback collection too... but it has all 4 novels and some of the short stories too... so it's quite bulky. I don't remember the length for this story specifically but I'll check it later when I read it. The page count is varying a lot from site to site (it's still 120+ everywhere)... and I just re-checked that the kindle version has editorial revisions which might have increased the count perhaps...?

I think I'll avoid this for the Bingo anyway...
