How to Get Your Free Reading Copy and Enroll in the Discussion [ Edited ]

[MLS]

Just a quick question...I signed up for Songs for the Missing on 4-10 and it was listed as read on 4-14. Since I received no confirmation message I sent a personal message to you on 4-26 and it said it was read on 4-26.  I see that all confirmations of inclusion in the First Look for June have been sent and still I didn't get one.I wonder how you decide who is included in your discussion. I am curious...I think...unless it happens to be level of intelligence in the past discussions!!!!!  Thank you for past oppotunities.  I will just follow the discussions and read the book later.

Maria,

I did get a PM. I think it was a positive one. By my memory has slipped. I can't remember, really, what the message said. This is very embarrassing. Is there any way to recheck? I feel embarrassed to even ask. Thank you in advance. Grapes

grapes,
unless you delete all your pm's, it will still be there in your inbox. I have to clear my in and sent box every so often but I NEVER delete the first look pm's lol. It will be there if you got it and didn't delete it yourself. You may want to check again.

Before too many more years pass, they'll have to give us mailboxes in our PM boxes so we can sort our keepers.

whats the date on your sent message in your sent box for both times you signed up? And are either showing that they have been read when you open them.

Hi--Have the books been sent out? I'm about to finish the current book I'm reading and I was hoping the O'Nan book is on its way so I can read it next! I'm excited about participating, I've never done this type of thing before.
Cheers, Kelly

[AllieK]

On the announcement/news thread...it says the books are being sent out and expect them around the 19th of May.

[Melissa_W Moderator]

Reshan, you shouldn't post your address, etc. on the boards because the entire Web can read the posts.  Send a PM to Maria if you need to confirm your info

My copy came in the mail today!! (I'm in NJ)

[Everyman]

In the past First Look clubs, I have waited seemingly forever after the announcement of shipping for my book to make it to this corner of the world. I've been used to people reading on, sometimes finishing the book before mine showed up; in the first FL, I didn't get my copy until the discussion was well underway.

Not this time. My book came today!!! I was just heading out to take advantage of the first sunny day in what seems like weeks to get some badly needed mowing done when the UPS van pulled up and there it was! Needless to say, the mowing will have to wait until tomorrow, at least!

Thank you, B&N, for not making me feel like a poor Orphan Annie yet again!
