Apologies - the books have been a bit late going out so we will give winners a bit longer to read and add questions and comments to this thread. They should arrive in the next couple of days so if you get one don't forget to add your thoughts here as soon as you have read it.

More info on the book here

I'm assured they are on their way. Don't forget, if you do receive one, make sure you leave your comments and questions for Dinah on this thread as soon as you've read it. Obviously we will allow a couple of extra weeks so if you can add by mid September rather than the end of August that's fine.

Doesn't look like we are going to get these methinks! Maybe the publisher's post clerk is on holiday?

I didn't like the book anyway. I very rarely give up on a book but I did with this one.

Came in from work hoping there might be a book on the doormat.......but no such luck! Doesn't look like many have been received so far.

I must say the books have been very poor these last few months, I have always been an avid reader but have had to make an effort with the choices ?

Mine was waiting over the side gate for me! Couldn't believe the size of the packaging! No wonder it wouldn't go through letter box. It's still August.....just!

Just received my copy - many thanks. As somebody else said - ridiculous sized packaging for a fairly small book. Have another book to finish, a house move to undertake and new grandchild due any day - but when all that's sorted I'll start the book! Fortuitous as my son is working for a year in Vietnam so hoping to visit in next few months.
