Thanks for the feedback, Bluebellanon. I want to reassure you that this is not a program that is about books or publishers that paid us to promote them. We obviously would love to see new interest from advertisers looking to advertise books to a book-loving audience, but I assure you that the pick for this month nor the ones featured in the poll aren't paid placements. In the cases where we're selecting the book, publishers are helping us give fans special access to the author.

But your comment makes a good point that we need a spot that allows people to nominate books for vote. For this first poll, we selected books that we thought folks would enjoy reading based on popularity of the titles, size of their communities, or timeliness (like a movie coming out based on the book). We'll definitely create a prominent area today on the portal that links to a forum thread that allows users to nominate a book, and we hope you'll submit a Sherlock Holmes title there!

As for promotion, We should definitely give w:c:bakerstreet promotion on Wikia Books! I'll leave a note on your Baker Street Message Wall about ways we could help. There are a lot of ways we could give Sherlock Holmes and Baker Street Wiki more love.
