Other folks, let me know. Remember to post when you have received your book. It seems to me that more than seven folks should have received the book by now.
I received my book today & I'm in Idaho, so the deliveries are moving westward.
I just received my book in Oregon, just 50 miles from the Pacific. :)

Great but don't give anything away until our weekly threads - what about the rest of you - we need to hear from you and tell us if you have the book.
Received my book on Christmas Eve and am reading it :)
#17 - VirginiaI take it there is another Virginia here; I have no book, and I was too late finding this to sign up for one.

Yes that was another Virginia.
Just being sure; Happy New Year to you and everyone!
Mod
I cannot wait until this book is offered in January. Just in time for the Queen's Diamond Jubilee! I did not join until December, so really missed out on an advanced copy. :-(

We have tried to reach out to each and every one of you already.
Come January 10th, you will be able to acquire the book via your local bookstore and Amazon.
This just in. A body was found at the Sandringham estate, where the Queen usually spends her Christmas. Here is the article: http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2012/jan/03/sandringham-murder-inquiry-woman-body?INTCMP=SRCH. Thought some of you might find this interesting.
Interesting, thanks Jason.
I just saw that on internet news........strange indeed.
I guess the body was found in a little hamlet outside the main area of the estate. They are treating it as a murder...
Mod
For those of you waiting to participate in the group read, we have a small delay but will be up and running in a short time. Hope to see you there.

Attention: Folks who received free books.
One of the ways to receive any free books in the future is to make sure that you honor the requirements that you accepted for receiving this first one: participate in the book discussion here on the HBC, read the book and then review the book.
Otherwise, for the next book, you will not be considered for the free offer until others have been given the chance ahead of you.
Here is the thread outlining the weekly reading assignments:

Here is the link for the First Impressions thread:

Here is the link for the Week Two - Non Spoiler thread: (January 16 - January 22)
http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/7...
Here is the link for those who have completed the book:
http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/7...
There will be weekly non spoiler threads. Just keep up with those and participate on these threads as we move through the selection. It is a great book and the subject matter is riveting.
Hi Bentley, apologies. I have had a huge week and will get with this asap. Many thanks.
