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.

Happy reading!

Oh, thank you Cari, thought I had missed it and had only just realised there is a Book Club anyway!

Yes, tried to enter the comp but you have to agree to receive either endless promotional emails or junk mail so I abandoned it halfway through.

We never do one in December because it gets too complicated with the festive season - so we do our big book comps instead www.gransnet.com/life-and-style/books/best-christmas-reads-2016

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.

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.

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.

Thanks for the link to the ebook. Unfortunately we do not have itunes so I am unable to use it. Maybe someone else can have it instead?

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!

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

Me took I've just received my copy. I'm a fast reader, but... perhaps the suggestion to miss a month, or report back a month later might be considered by GNHQ?
