Operation #ReadSherlock Ends: Wrapping It Up & Final Giveaway


Today is the final day of October (and it is really the final hours!), which means that is the final day of Operation #ReadSherlock!  I can't believe how quickly the month flew by!  Let's take a few minutes to look back at this final week, and then I will share some of my own final thoughts.  Let's start with a quick shot from Instagram!


ICYMI:  There were only two posts from this last week, but one was the favorite fandom results from the survey that we started the week with.  That was a fun one!


Overall, I had a blast this last month, and got to read some of the Sherlock stories that I had not previously read.  I am considering doing something Sherlock related again in the future because there is just so much more to chat about than what I did this last month.  And, some of the chatting I wanted to do, I simply just didn't have time to do.  Speaking of this future event, this is where you all come in and I'm going to attach it to my . . . 

FINAL GIVEAWAY.  I have a special order on the way from Nook & Burrow.  It is a bookmark that I consulted with the artists about, and I cannot wait to see it in person.  It is shipping from Australia, so as soon as I receive it, I will turn it around and mail it out to you.  

But, how do you enter?  Simply comment on this post with feedback on the event:  what did you like or dislike about the event, what you would like to see in future Sherlock events, would you like to see a future event as a full month or just a week-long event?  Leave your email address so I can contact you.  All comments received within one week (through Monday, November 7, 2016) will be entered.  One entry per person, and I will open this one up internationally as well.

Thank you to all who participated in #ReadSherlock!  It is because of you that the event was so much fun!

  1. I loved the event. In a way you grow up knowing about Sherlock and the stories but I never read the stories and did not watch much of the movies or tv shows. This event was a great opportunity to pick up the book and I even ended up watching some Sherlock.
    For a next event it might be an idea to get a few discussion topics and throw them out on twitter or instagram. I did check the readsherlock hashtag and reacted a few times but I would have liked more action and found it hard to start something myself.
    I liked to have the full month. It gave me some space to read. In a week event it would have to fit in that weeks schedule. I can imagine though that after two weeks people start to forget to update and post stuff. Hard decision. I will keep an eye out for next events!!

    1. Ciska van der Lans ... Thank you so much for your feedback! It's so true that Sherlock is so much a part of our culture, and we could talk days about just the references. I love the idea of social media discussions. Definitely writing down this idea!

    1. Kami ... You're welcome! I love that you were able to jump in and enjoy at least a portion of the month. If you think of anything for next time, just let me know.

  4. I loved the event! I thought it would have been cool to have a watchalong of a Sherlock ep or movie, but that's logistically difficult to organize. It was fun and that's the most important thing!
