So...all the books without a low lexile noted are good to go?

I've had Mysterious Affair at Styles waiting at home for a read too...so, I may use that.

Yes, no Lexile noted, they are good to go. Your recent request isn't on the list because no one had read it yet.

ok.... great...

and that is surprising that someone hasn't read all the Christie books for RwS yet.
I amended my plan by adding Mysterious Affair at Styles.

The Murder of Roger Ackroyd has a Lexile of 720 and The Mysterious Affair at Styles is 770. Are we allowed to use and claim styles for them because no Lexile is listed in the spreadsheet?

The Lexiles for all of the books on the spreadsheet have been checked. Either at the time they were claimed they were not YA at BPL, or BPL has since removed that designation. You are good to go with styles for those that have no Lexile listed.

That is good news. Thanks!

I'm not sure that it will fit in this season, but I am considering Murder Is Easy . It is low lexile, but not designated as YA at BPL (it's shelved under 'Lit Mystery"). Where does that leave me?

It isn't shelved as YA at BPL, so you're good to go. We won't even check the Lexile.

For Newbies:
BPL is Brooklyn Public Library

Lexile is a YA/grade rating and can be looked up here:

Ok! Yay!

So, it looks like Murder at the Vicarage is not shelved as YA at BPL. Is that right?

You're right. Help me remember to remove our YA listing so you get full credit.
