It's a new month... time for some new bug fixes!
While Matt is still working on harnessing the book data that we all have contributed to, and making it available for searches, he's also been rather busy fixing other things, and even adding some nifty little features. Read all about it in this Announcements forum post.

Browsers book group choice for April'17...I'm getting to this a bit late, so hopefully will be ready for the discussion!
(23/04/17) Unfortunately I could not finish this, a rare event for me :(
I gave up after only 58 pages, defeated by the 'Sliding Doors' style, Barnett too cleverly (IMHO) trying to juggle three separate but linked stories about Eva and suitors David/Jim. It's a shame because I loved the setting-up of the story - post-war migrations, 1958 Cambridge - but really I was having to work too hard to keep everything in order in my little brain :(
I'm sure someone else will persevere and enjoy this.

I also struggled with this one. I'm not sure the book has the rewards to keep reading with the three stories really confusing to start with. But if you hang in there it gets easier as you become more familiar with the stories and characters.
I found it a little clichéd and dark. Though I liked the concept and idea of different paths taken in life leading to different situations. I also like the era and settings. But I wouldn't pick it up again.
