Haven't received a single book I'm afraid. Received messages confirming my selections (back in May 2016); however, nothing arrived so I stopped trying/choosing books.

My copy of The Year of Needy Girls arrived and it looks so SWELL! Can't wait to read it.

It was mailed from Akashic in a regular padded envelope, delivered by USPS.

Packaging method: bubble mailer

For some reason the touchstone doesn't work unless I input a slightly different title: The Health of Nations: The Campaign to End Polio and Eradicate Epidemic Diseases. I don't see any indication that this title is correct.

Title: The Chilbury Ladies Choir
Date Received: 13th January, 2017
Format: ARC paperback (it's a beaut!)
Publisher: Random Penguin House
Came with: a packing list note

I was so excited to win this book as it is a story which just charmed my bookish heart to read. I'm thankful it came today, as I have exactly one month start tomorrow before the #PubDay to read and happily review it! I love ARCs (book blogger) and this one is a special one to receive as it's beautifully produced to mimic a finished copy - full cover art and everything appeared to be inside, too, like the map! Love those small details in ARCs. Thank you, LT ER programme! Very blessed this New Year!

You're welcome! :) I just found this section of the forums and as I'm looking forward to being more active on LT this New Year, I wanted to start participating by talking about the ER programme! :) This was my 2nd win and 1st book to arrive! Thus, I thought - hmm, I wonder if anyone else is expecting a copy, too!? When it arrived I was happy about how lovely it looked and how exciting it will be to read! Congratulations to you! You've received your copy, too! Didn't you just feel in awe of the layout & look of it?! I hope we'll equally enjoy our time inside it's chapters! Happy reading!
