In response to requests for more non-fiction, we've decided to resurrect Non-fiction book of the month and will be bringing you a host of great non-fiction book giveaways to read, discuss and when possible the opportunity to engage with the author. To kick off we're delighted to offer you the chance to grab a copy of Kim Gordon's brilliant memoir Girl in a Band

Find out more about the book and apply for a free copy, then come back and discuss the book and put your questions to Kim on this thread. We'll be sending up to 15 questions over to her on 22nd Feb and we'll post up her answers to this thread in early March.

Thank you, MN!

I've also been lucky - I have a question, not having read it yet - Kim, what did you think of the UK when you were touring here, what did you like about it - and what was not so good?

I always had a niggling fear that we could never be quite as cool as the US, even with the reasonable music scene we had going on at the time Smile

Thank you so much.

ClarenceTheLion · 15/02/2016 21:42

Has anyone got their book yet? I want to get going!

CheeseEMouse · 17/02/2016 11:18

stareatthetvscreen · 21/02/2016 00:57

whitershadeofpale · 21/02/2016 00:59

No book here either or reply to the email I sent.

Sadik · 21/02/2016 10:38

Yes, I emailed too and didn't hear back

LovelyFriend · 21/02/2016 22:39

Ive had a book like this before but it was sent out by publisher, not mn. They are probably waiting for the stock to arrive from the warehouse etc.

We're so sorry to hear you didn't get your copies yet. There's clearly some issues at publishers but I was away for half term last week (hence not responding to any emails so apologies for that). I'll chase right away and post up on here and also let you know the new deadline for the questions to be in for Kim.
