Hi Cheryl!

Volunteers would keep an eye on their respective genre's thread. They would be going through and checking that everyone's math is correct and that no comments have been skipped over. Then would leave a comment like, "Total checked: 52 points" or "We missed 2 points on message 12. Correct Total: 31".

This is essentially the same thing Nell has been doing for the Relay Race, so if you want an example look at message 2182

I really enjoyed the whole story! I've never read or seen any of the Sherlock Holmes books or shows/movies. Looking at the other comments here, maybe it was more enjoyable for me because I did not have the preconceived characters and voices in my head?

I'm with Olive, I liked the background in part 2 better than the mystery parts, but I've never been a big fan of mysteries in general. I thought the switch from part 1 to part 2 was really unique and it showed off how Arthur Conan Doyle could write in different styles. I would have enjoyed reading a western series written by him as well.

We've already read A Clockwork orange, please nominate it over in the catch-up thread.

Please try to include page numbers in your nominations, it helps a lot!

I'm on a waiting list to get this book from the library so I don't know if I will get to it this month.
