Hi June,

We actually extended the date as we hadn't had 50 replies before 18th September. Now you know about the book club you will know to visit the boards on 30th of every month to find out what the new book is and apply. We won't always promote it in the newsletter.

you're bound to have had over 50 replies, especially as some of us didn't get the Newsletter offering the Book Club till 20 September, and it specifically says we'd got to email before 18th!

Thank you to everyone who sent us a message to be included in this month's book club. We only have 50 books to give away and have now had over 50 responses, and this month books are being distributed on a first come first served basis. If you do not receive a book this month, don't worry. We will be announcing a new title on 30th September and you will have the changc to apply again for a free copy.

For those of you who will be receiving the book 'This Child of Mine', they will be posted over the next few days. Once you have read your book please visit this thread to post your thoughts and reviews http://www.genesreunited.co.uk/boards/board/hobbies_crafts/thread/1331769

Sounds exciting, lots of mixed themes though eh?

I have looked at this book that has been sent out for review and it is definitely not a book that the male reader would read.. Are there no male readers/reviewers in the group GR?

As we are a mixed bunch, surely a book that would be read by both sexes would be the norm. or have I got it incorrect?

Hi everyone - Thanks to those who have already emailed to be part of the book club. Everyone who has emailed so far will be getting a book, and there are still spaces left to be included this month. Just email the GenesBookClub account with your address and we'll make sure a book is posted to you.

We are very excited to launch the Genes Book Club in partnership with Penguin.

The first book available for review is 'This Child of Mine' by Sinead Moriarty.
This is the gripping and deeply moving story of Anna, Laura, Sophie and Mandy - two mothers, two daughters and a story about the bond of motherly love.

If you would like to be sent a free copy of this book to review please email the GenesBookClub account directly by hovering over the profile picture and clicking the 'Send Message' button. The first 50 people to email us with their name and an address where they would like the book to be sent will receive this book. You must have emailed us before 18th September in order to be included.

Terms of Use for the book club can be found here http://www.genesreunited.co.uk/contents/LegalTermsBookClub

If you would like to get a taste for the book, you can view the first 50 pages in pdf format here http://cdn.genesreunited.co.uk/_Resources/uploads/ThisChildOfMine_EXTRACT.pdf

We hope that you will all enjoy this new book club. We are very excited to be working with Penguin and to be able to offer our members these free books. Penguin will also be supplying discussion points which we will post later this month, so we hope to get some great debates and discussions going.
