Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

For confinement books I'm going to recommend The Siege by Helen Dunmore. A big chunk of the book covers the 2nd WW battle for Leningrad. I thought it was a great read.

Ooh The Siege is a tremendous book. It got me into reading more Helen Dunmore, although I don't think anything else of hers has stuck in my head so much.

I'm currently reading Robert Macfarlane's Underland, with a side order of Pratchett because I feel like I need something light and familiar, but good. Just finished Guards Guards and am about to roam the shelves for another one. I like spending time on Discworld.

Case Histories arrived today :-)

I'm listening to the Wolf Hall audiobook and the bloke doing the narration is very good.

Elder Daughter tells me her library (in Balham) has closed, but before it did so it allowed its customers to take out up to 25 books each.

Still no word from "my" library re The Immortalists. Must be in the same galaxy as Owlie's Galleywood.
