UPDATE: The book club will be delayed by 1 week due to unforseen circumstances. The new date of the book club will be Friday, August 7th at 9:30 PM Central
For this month’s book club our patrons have selected Catherine Webb’s The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August. This book comes heavily recommended by a friend of mine, so I’m very excited to get into it!
Here’s the summary:
Some stories cannot be told in just one lifetime. Harry August is on his deathbed. Again. No matter what he does or the decisions he makes, when death comes, Harry always returns to where he began, a child with all the knowledge of a life he has already lived a dozen times before. Nothing ever changes. Until now. As Harry nears the end of his eleventh life, a little girl appears at his bedside. “I nearly missed you, Doctor August,” she says. “I need to send a message.” This is the story of what Harry does next, and what he did before, and how he tries to save a past he cannot change and a future he cannot allow.
The live-streamed discussion of The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August will occur on Friday, July 31st at 9:30 PM Central Time over on our YouTube page. Get the book and get reading! If you’re going to purchase a physical copy through Amazon, we would appreciate it if you do so through our Amazon Affiliate link. The book will cost exactly the same to you, but it will help support Doof! Media.
