Re: How To Get Your Free Reading Copy & Enroll in the Discussion

You know I must have Thanksgiving Turkey Fog--I reread everything and you said enrollment will begin between 12 and 1230--I thought it was a limited 12 hour thing --where you were trying to hold down the amount of participants by having a twelve hour window---honestly, I think I need to go to sleep--but that being said---I am sooooooooo looking forward to the book and the book discussions.  I am very grateful to B&N

for this amazing club, especially when you live in Michigan and the winters can be very long.

Re: How To Get Your Free Reading Copy & Enroll in the Discussion

 

Hi deannafrances,
At first I stumbled on the phrasing too. It said, "Enrollment will open between 12:00 and 12:30 EST." It must have meant that enrollment will begin around that time and not "Will BE OPEN between the times mentioned."

I enrolled at 1 16 am on Dec 2 --did you really mean that enrollment was only for that short twelve hour period--I have been in several at least six  First Look  and as I have some mobility problems I truly look forward to these books coming and reading the discussions.  Please, assure me that I made it in time!!

Well, I'm glad we solved the problem - separately from each other. It does look like a good book and it promises to melt away Michigan snow.

The only way a sentence at the end of your request would effect your eligibility is if it said something along the lines of, "the Administrator is a know-nothing blowhard!" :smileywink:

Paul, (as I'm wiping coffee off of my monitor) how could anyone ever think of you as a blowhard. Hard headed, maybe. Opinionated, definitely. But a blow hard, NEVER!!!

Re: How To Get Your Free Reading Copy & Enroll in the Discussion

Here's my secret little tip....

I cut and paste the email address and subject line provided by B&N into the appropriate fields.  This requires opening two separate windows (or tabs) in my browser, but it elminates those pesky formatting issues.

@maxcat: upper right corner of teh page -- white rectangle with the words "[your login name] : Logout : My Profile : Help." It's right underneath Help.

 

I haven't gotten a confirmation yet. However, I do believe that I read somewhere that it could take as long as a week to process. Is that correct? I'm looking forward to reading and joining in the discussion. However, if it wasn't meant to be, I'll jump on the next one :smileyhappy:
