Re: Community Room

It is only a few minutes after 1:00 and over a hundred people have already read the announcement and begun to sign up for the next First Look. I guess I wasn't the only one waiting with baited breath for the posting. The Sister sounds like another good read. Great job B&N staff in finding compelling reads for this thread.

I wouldn't doubt that there are more waiting for 1:00 pm to roll around

I was waiting for 1 to roll around too. I couldn't wait to see what the new selection would be. It sounds like a good book. Enjoyable reading to all!

Re: Community Room

I agree with everyone, this sounds like a great book.

I actually had a pop up on my computer for 1pm! I was so interested in what this next book might be.

I hope I get in as well.

Re: Community Room

Had to sign up for one about someone who is my namesake. Vivien, I have always been told is the male spelling of Vivian tho. Maybe its an English version, since this is another Brit author. I have one sister, but her name isnt Ginney tho.

Re: Community Room

I live in the Pacific Northwest and everything is closed down because of the snow (about 17" in 30 hours), so I was off work and got the message right away through home email. It sounds like another great opportunity. Hope I get in-thanks Barnes and Noble.

Re: Community Room

I forgot to put my phone number in when I signed up. Do you think it matters? I hope not. I pm'd Marie asking her if it mattered or not.

Re: Community Room

Okay. Maybe I will send another message. Just to be safe. I wouldn't want to miss out on this one! Sounds like a good read!

Re: Community Room

I too had my computer pop up a reminder. I enjoyed reading THatR and I think "The Sister" would be another good read. Although I don't have any sisters. I can't wait to hear if I got in!!

Re: Community Room

This is the first time I have registered for the First Look discussion. I am not sure how you find out of you have been selected to join. Can someone who has done this before give me some idea of when I will find out. Thanks

Did you go to the sign up thread in this club and sign up on a pm as it instructed you? with the subject head and your name address, etc? If you sent that pm as instructed, then when you are accepted, they will send you a pm back saying so, that could be days so dont worry, just get in your request. If you are not sure where or how to do this, read the other threads in here and you will find the one on signing up and just follow the instructions there. :smileywink:

Re: Community Room

Hello!

I managed to be off running errands when the new book was posted. Naughty Lisa! I am hoping that I am not too late to participate this time.

Vivian, how are you feeling? Glad to see you "out and about" here!!

BTW, the author reminds me of an actress (that the name eludes me right now......) hmmmmmmmmmmmm
