Hi All,

Just to let you know that some confirmations did indeed go out today, but not nearly all of them. This is a fairly labor intensive part of the program, so please hold tight!

Thanks!

Thanks for the update Paul.  I'm sure I'm not the only one waiting patiently (or impatiently)!

Yes, Paul, thanks for keeping us updated on the selection process. 

Can't you feel us all breathing down your neck?! 

And if Erick is tuning into the posts this early on, he should feel encouraged by all of our excitement to get out hands on his book!

Okay Gang,

Another batch of confirmations went out today, but not all of them are out yet. Again if you haven't been confirmed, hang tight!

More to follow tomorrow....

Thank you for keeping everyone up to date with information. I can't imagine how much work for you and the other moderators to keep up the book club.

Thanks for all your efforts.

Paul, I just think it's great that even with a bunch of FLers breathing down your neck, you're able to maintain your sense of humor.

Paul,

Don't mean to be tedious, but any clue as to when (approximately) the ARCs will ship? Just kinda wondering when to start stalking the UPS truck. 

[Paul_Hochman]

Thayer, Thayer, Thayer....

Please see januttall's post directly above yours r.e. "FLers breathing down (my) neck"....

KIDDING!

There's still more confirmations in the kicker, so we're looking at the first part of next week to commence shipping.

No worries though, as I said before, your patience will be rewarded with one of our best selections yet!

And I may (no promises here!) throw in a surprise twist or two before your ARCS arrive...
