How to Enroll (ENROLLMENT IS NOW CLOSED) [ Edited ]

[Paul_Hochman]

The heirs apparent to Stieg Larsson and Henning Mankell, Roslund and Hellström's Three Seconds will be one of the most talked about crime novels of 2011 and it's the perfect selection for the First Look Book Club.

You will receive a free advance reading copy and access to the discussion with the author. The ARCs will mail soon and the discussion will begin on November 29th.

Please only enroll if you're going to participate in the discussion. ARCs are limited, so if you do not participate, you will be excluded from future First Look selections.

For some reason, I am unable to click to send a new message.. I just keep getting a page that says this:

The core node (0) you are trying to access was not found, it may have been deleted. Please refresh your original page and try the operation again

Not really sure how to fix that...

Three Seconds sounds like an interesting read. The cover is definately an eye catcher. It seems to have the makings of a great page turner that you can't put down.

Megan,

What are you clicking on to receive that error message?  Is it when you click on the envlope to open the PM client or is it when you click 'Compose Message'?  Check to make sure you have Private Messages enabled (go to "My Profile" and then click "Display and Privacy Settings" then "Private Messenger" - "Enable Private Messages" should be checked).

Atreyu, I am so enjoying your participation in Vixen and glad you'll be here too.

[mlfoley012]

Super excited for this book!  Can't wait to participate!

[Atreyu59]

Megan-smith:  here are some ideas (not that they will work but help with problemsolving)

1.  be sure your using a 'acceptable-recommended' browser

2.  don't use any parenthesis or marks in the TO section when you send it - - > plain and simple as the directions state  THREE SECONDS  or SECONDS  which ever goes on which line

3.  check your formatting and keep it simple

hope this helps & hope you get to send the message and get confirmed

Looks like a great book. I can't wait to read and review it!

[MommaBrikz]

looks like a great book.  not a huge crime novel fan but i'm always up for something new.  

[Atreyu59]

Here' s a good question for you Paul;

What about the cover?  Looks more like a remake from the cover of the movie Backdraft than anything I've seen; is that flames he is walking towards, or into & is it significant? An explosion?

Humm . .mm

Hi corky, above the the messages you will or should see on the left in white letters your log in name followed by logout - password - help - and a little envelope. Click on the envelope then to compose new message then follow the instructions Paul gave us in the first post.

Hope that helps

Very excited about this! I've always wanted to join a book club, but they're scarce in my area so this is perfect. The book looks fantastic - can't wait to read it!

Thanks, B&N!
