Our November book club choice is Cartes Postales from Greece by Victoria Hislop (read more about it HERE).
Winners should be receiving their copies in the next few days. Don't forget that if you do receive one, please leave your thoughts, reviews and questions for Victoria on this thread by the end of November.
OK update - there was a processing error but the books have now been sent out and should land in the next day or so. We don't do book club in December so there is extra time to read, enjoy and add questions for Victoria Hislop
Just received my copy today - 22 November! Thrilled to receive it - but really not sure if I'll be able to finish it by the end of the month, which is only just over a week away. Please, Gransnet, can we have a bit longer this time!
Also just found out that I have won a voucher to download the e-book. Cartes postales from Greece. Now all I have to do, is find out how to do it. . Thank you Gransnet.
Dont some of you realise that Gransnet is smoke and mirrors.
The site is less than satisfactory, no edit button, no reference to posters history, I could go on, BUT We only are here because of the posters, and their humanity.
It is a commercial entity and the only beneficiaries are the 'rich' owners.
You can easily download itunes just to download your free book and then delete it. But you will only be able to read it on an IOS device,that is an ipad. I don't have an ipad, so have emailed the publisher to see if there is a Kindle friendly format.
Hi all - as I mentioned yesterday - we are happy for you to have a bit longer to read as we hadn't anticipated the books going out quite so late - so let's say mid December?
And unfortunately there is no way for publishers to be able to gift via kindle (they would love to - it's just not possible) which is why we put an explanation on the page to only tick the ebook box if you had a device other than kindle. Huge apologies for any confusion and to anyone who has been disappointed. We will be launching our preview of our fabulous January book of the month in the next couple of weeks so another chance to win.
Thank you for my copy, received today. I'm relieved we've got a bit of extra time for this one - I'm reading four books at the minute and one of them is October's GN pick (very nearly finished, though )
The publisher has replied saying that it was in the competition entry details that the prize would only be available on Itunes. I only remember it asking if you would like a copy for E reader. You live and learn, I will only be applying for the physical book in future.
I also received the voucher for the e-reader copy though I don't recall being asked if I wanted one. I am not prepared to download itunes so will not be able to read the book this month.
Help! Technophobe panic. I've won the ebook version of Hislop's book and don't know how to enter redemption code in iTunes where, apparently, it needs to be retrieved. No instructions with email. Anyone had any success with this to give me advice. Cheers.
