'The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August' finished today. It's weird because I read 'Life After Life' immediately before it which deals with similar themes - in fact the main premise is virtually identical. It's weird because we're discussing the Kate Atkinson book on Monday in my book group and I want to discuss the Claire North book instead. I think Atkinson's book is more 'literary' whilst North's book is the better one as there seemed to be more direction in where the book was going. Will put a review up in the next week or so (as an aside I'm finding myself getting jaded with reviewing books on goodreads and on here - I think I need to get a bit more sparkle going to motivate me).

As for the challenge at the end of Quarter 1 I am just about on schedule so the 27 books for the year is still on!
