Hi all,
I thank for all of your good words. I don't know what happened to the pigeons for this time. They were never so late. Today is 11th and nothing of my book. I'm still waiting for any answer of it. Hope I can get on board soon MV5OCEAN. I had some problems with computer while I was discussing a book on FL TARRI, but everything was all right at the end.
PEN 21 I didn't know my posts were appreciated by someone here. Thanks! DSAFF I also regret this late. I was so happy for this discussion.
VERMONTCOZY I believe pigeons are having babies and hope one of these come and bring my book as soon as possible
DRAGONFLY_YAYN you can't imagine how bad is seeing the board and can't interact. Sometimes I avoid it. I come, see other boards and skip Of bees and mist. When my book arrives so I'll come back and post. But I confess it'll be a bit difficult accompain the rhythm of discussions.

Hey marciliogq,
Sorry your book hasn't arrived yet. It must be terribly frustrating but hang in there. My book arrived on schedule but I am so busy and time is so limited that I am way behind on the discussion. I know that there are a couple of other people in the same boat so we'll probably still be around to chat when you start catching up.
See you then!

Hi TRJ4SQ,
It's terribly frustrating as you said not having the book while discussions are happening. You have good expectations for it and because of unknown reasons you book doesn't arrive. From BN First Looks this book was the one I most expected because it's a kind of literature completely unknown for me. It'd be a delightful experience. But... let's wait for it. I sent PaulH an e-mail and he's trying to solve my problem. Perhaps I can call UPS and relate my problem cause only through the website nothing was solved.
Thanks and hope we can discuss the book soon.

You have a PM. Yes. I'd suggest you call UPS in Brazil, as we've sent two books now that haven't been delivered.

Yupiiiiiiii!!!!! My book has just arrived. A bit crumped and wet, I don't know what happened to it but what matters is its content. I heard my bell ringing so my sister called me and I went downstairs like an airplane LOL. And there was the delivery and my book! I'll start it by the weekend cause I have too many things to do! Thanks all, thanks PaulH for all.
I'll try to get the board rhythm if possible yet as too many people wrote their opinions and I don't know if it's possible to accompain all of them. Someone from BN called me to confirm the book arrival.What a surprise for me! It's what I call absolute attention.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Hi dhaupt, eadiburke. Vermontcozy,Tarri, DSaff, and pen21. You're great! Finally the book arrived. I'll you meet in the club in a few days. For now I'm too busy preparing myself for a test in a university tomorrow morning. I'm reading too many pages about English Language Teaching and Literature theory. At weekend I'll finally get the book to read.
So, only next week I'll come back and discuss it with you. Hope you have a good weekend and reading.
See you soon!

I am so glad that your book finally arrived, even if it was damp from those carrier pigeons dropping it in the ocean! I hope that when you do sit down to read it you will enjoy it as much as some of us have! The story is delightful and enchanting and (lucky you) you won't have to stop after only a few chapters!! Looking forward to your thoughts!!

I was thinking exactly the same thing.
There have been some posts on other threads making statements that for reasons left unsaid (no spoilers) that this would be a book best read without having to stop.
I don't personally feel that way, but it will be interesting to see the viewpoint from someone who doesn't have to stop and see if their take is any different.......
