advice about a Goodreads no show?

Won a book with them in early June. However I still haven't received it. They said if I didn't receive it in 4 weeks then I was to mark it as not received on their winners page, which I did. When I heard nothing I emailed them, I also emailed the author of the book, who did initially get in touch straight after I'd won the book asking if I wanted a physical copy or e-book (i replied saying i would like a physical copy), but now i haven't heard anything from anyone. Goodreads are a great site, i have won a few books with them in the past with no problems. So wonder what i should do next...any suggestions? Cheers :)

    got a reply from a nice lady from Goodreads today, she said she will get in touch with the author on my behalf, it may be a few weeks before I hear anything but she will let me know as soon as she hears back. :)

    I;ve had books take 8-10 weeks to get to me, especially if they come from America. They'll all turn up eventually :) xx

    oh right, thank you, still plenty of time for this one to arrive then...hope Goodreads and the Author didn't think i was being a little hasty and impatient :) i think i just got a little worried as i've won a few times on Goodreads and the books have always arrived superfast...as in days. Well, it's something to look forward to :D
