Our October book is The Secret Diary of Hendrick Groen, 83 1/4 Years Old (read more about it HERE

Winners should be receiving their copies in the next few days. Don't forget that if you do get one you will need to add your thoughts and reviews* (marking any spoilers clearly) on this thread by the end of October.

*No questions this month...you'll see why in this from Publishers Weekly

"In the media there has been a lot of speculation about who Hendrik Groen could be. Is he an actual octogenarian? Is he a famous Dutch writer? A well-known Dutch stand-up comedian? He remains anonymous, and the only thing that his publisher has revealed is that he is currently writing another diary."

Tizliz you have to wait for the announcement and fill in the form. Usually towards the end of the previous month, but lately the books have arrived rather late. Good luck!

Still no sign this month's book then and so I am living in hope.

Still no copies for anyone? Can GNHQ give publishers a nudge?

The copy of "The Secret Diary of Hendrik Groen" has just landed through our letter box. I had forgotten that I had applied for it, so a lovely surprise. Will start it when I have finished my current book. How long do I have before I post a review?
