	I have just checked and my June message has not even been opened. I have heard absolutely nothing. Seems like a waste of time this time. I just thought I had not been chosen. I do wish they would put something on the board if it has gone wrong. Has anything been heard by anyone? :-( :-(

	Surely though they should say something, or even stick to the closing date and send out those they have. I haven't checked the facebook site though as I don't go on there, they probably made an announcement on there.

	Same for me Ann. They could be stopping the Book Club if not enough people are responding but it would be nice to know.

	Just had another look at the original announcement. Pammy, there have been 76 views, not 26. Should have gone to Specsavers :-D EDIT. The announcement also says books will be sent out after 19th June. Doesn't say how long after!

	I changed the title hoping genes will notice it. Only 26 views on this board Vera.

It probably isn't a high priority to Penguin. My experience is that the books do turn up eventually. At the end of the day they are free books?

	We are not complaining about that Whizz. We are saying Genes have not opened the message asking to be considered. And I am sure we all appreciate they are free books. If they have not opened the messages they can't know who applied so therefore can't have passed our names to penguin.

	Mine is unopened as well. Do they have a bookclub support person?

	I have added a thread to the suggestions board, maybe that will help.

Member Since: October 2010 Posts: 30 Send Message	Oh my. Apologies all. I thought I'd had a reply for the June book but I was mistaken.

Member Since: October 2010 Posts: 30 Send Message	Have emailed support to see if that yields a response. Fingers crossed.

	Morning everyone The CM doesn't look after the Book Club unfortunately however I have asked my colleague who is supporting this to give me an update. Once I receive a reply from them, I shall update this post again. Thank you for your patience - this is I can assure you being investigated. Alison

	Thank you Alison, I didn't think you looked after the book club but was sure you could put us in the right direction.
