The winners of this month's book - more HERE - should be receiving their copies very shortly. So a reminder that if one does land on your door mat, you will need to add your comments and questions for Janet Ellis on this thread before the end of the month. Over to you...

My copy arrived yesterday, many thanks. Started it last night and picked it up this morning - now going to have to tear myself away to do some jobs. (Very pleasing cover btw).

Nearly had a heart attack when the courier banged so loudly on my front door at 8.30 this morning but it was worth it when I opened the package and found The Butchers Hook. Thank you for my copy and I'll start reading now. ??

The Butchers Hook just arrived!! Lovely surprise for a dull and drizzly Friday afternoon!. Will put present book ( A year of Marvellous Ways) on ice and dive into The Butchers Hook a.s.a.p. Thank you very much

Mine has just arrived too. Many thanks, though it will be a bit of a scamper to finish it on time.

I have read the first two or three chapters and it is very gripping.

My copy arrived today and I'm really looking forward to getting stuck in. Thanks GN. smile

Mine has just arrived - thank you! Will try to read it before the end of the month, but have visitors this weekend and over Easter ... any chance of a slightly extended deadline, Gransnet, as we are in the 3rd week of March now?

Thank you so much for my copy that arrived today. Better get down to reading it straight away in order to get it done by April.

My copy has just arrived- thank you. Will start it tonight.

My copy just arrived - will also try to read before the end of the month, but with Easter (and my 60th birthday!) next week (and a houseful of guests coming to celebrate with me) I, too, may run out of time.

Just received mine. Will try to read before the end of the month but with Easter next week may run out of time.

Mine has just arrived, Thank you Cari

Gagagran Fri 18-Mar-16 10:05:43

The "good authority" was right Cari - a copy has just been delivered by my postie. Thanks you very much - looking forward to reading it. (and commenting as requested!) wink

Galen Wed 16-Mar-16 17:00:33

hmm

CariGransnet (GNHQ) Wed 16-Mar-16 16:49:39

I have it on good authority that copies should arrive tomorrow

Galen Wed 16-Mar-16 14:48:03

Still waiting

Gagagran Wed 16-Mar-16 14:00:33

Bump

CariGransnet (GNHQ) Mon 14-Mar-16 15:12:59

The application form was there (and fine) and the names were sent over to the publisher at the usual time so just waiting to find out and will keep you posted

gillybob Mon 14-Mar-16 13:48:05

I kept looking but the application form never seemed to appear. I thought maybe it was just me and I had left it too late to apply. Seems strange if this happened to a few of us though. hmm

Galen Mon 14-Mar-16 13:12:24

Same here.

Gagagran Mon 14-Mar-16 13:03:33

Well I thought I had done but am wondering now if I'm having a senior moment and didn't really? Whatever, there seems to have been a break down in sorting this one out and GNHQ are being very quiet about it. What is going on Cari?

Maggiemaybe Mon 14-Mar-16 12:51:29

Did you actually see an application form, Gagagran? It'd be interesting to know if there was one, or if the gremlins have been at work and nobody's actually applied!
