shaq | 11 comments Anyone else not got their copy of this month's book yet? lol
I had to order mine in from overseas, I'm hoping I'm not the only one who might have to play catch up every month.


message 2: by Robin (new)

Robin (tijgerlil) | 17 comments Well I have it, but haven't had a chance to start it yet due to other reading obligations.

I have a feeling there will be many playing catch up. I wouldn't worry about it. It's not just about the discussions after all. What's important is that clubs like this provide opportunities for people to pick up books that they may not have chosen themselves.

If you make the effort to read the book and consider it, you are already miles ahead!

I picked mine up from a fantastic Independent dealer after searching the main chains.....

shaq | 11 comments I get all my books from Book Depository, another place to look if you need to Jennifer.


message 11: by xenu01 (new)

xenu01 Just popping in to say I haven't either--I'm 33rd of 35th on the library waiting list, ha! One thing that's great about Goodreads at least is that when we finally do read the book, we can go back through and find the thread talking about it. I bet there will be a lot of people doing this anyway, since people have various time commitments and read at various speeds. :)

message 22: by Astrid (new)

Astrid | 215 comments I ordered it from the library, but when I checked on it, it was loaned out until march 2017 :) So I'm gonna skip this one...


message 23: by Donaji (new)

Donaji I don't have the book yet, mostly because I read some of the quotes shared here and I have not been impressed, that added to the fact that I find it a little over priced for kindle has disappointed me, so I think I'll skip this one and see if there's a better one on the horizon.


message 24: by Gabi (new)

Gabi Miserani  | 16 comments I don't have this book yet. Someone tell me how i can get it? I live in BH Minas Gerais Brasil!!!!


message 25: by Alma (last edited Jan 20, 2016 04:09AM) (new)

Alma I eventually gave in to the ebook world to get the book, I much prefer a paperback but it doesn't seem to exist for this one and the hardback is too expensive and impractical for me (I mainly read on the tube).
The kindle app is free to download on tablets and smartphones and 'My Life on the Road' cost me £7.79. I've just started and I love it already, so it's totally worth getting in any form you can!
Hope this helps!

Susan | 13 comments I couldn't "find" the book in the bookstore either (initially) and had to ask...it was on a special table for new biographies....not on the self.


message 38: by Evelyn (new)

message 42: by Kaitlin (new)

Kaitlin | 10 comments Nope still waiting for mine. I have mine on hold at the library and I am number 52 out of 69. I most likely won't be seeing that book until late March, early April. :( I also had the audio on hold and that has not been working out well either I also won't be seeing that until March.

OMG Kaitlin, you are VERY PATIENT. I saw 24 on the waiting list of copies for check out and said "no way". You might get yours by 2017, unless they have lots of copies circulating, and if that's the case, then frugality and patience wins for it could be sooner than spring. Fingers crossed for you!


message 45: by Rachel (new)

Rachel Still waiting for the library book. I hope we find out the second book, so I can be ahead of the line for next month!

Same here.


message 47: by Jillian (last edited Jan 31, 2016 02:28PM) (new)

Jillian | 6 comments A suggestion for people who have books on hold at the library. I put the book on hold soon after Watson started this club and today was still 200th in line. However, I also put the audiobook on hold and received it a couple of days ago. Try looking into the many different versions (large print, digital, etc.) available at your local library!


message 48: by Kaitlin (new)

Kaitlin | 10 comments I finally got the book on audio. Woo hoo I can finally participate. We shall see how I do on the audio fingers crossed.
