I was blocked from my World Book Night (WBN) account for hours today, and my copies of ‘Toast’ still haven’t arrived at my local Waterstones at 17:00 hours today – no response to my emails from WBN – I have made countless calls to Waterstones to check and if they arrive tomorrow I may not be able to collect them due to other commitments – Waterstones have been very helpful in keeping me informed… any one not received their copies yet? I was so looking forward to giving tomorrow … guess i’ll walk the dog and read instead!
