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!

I had a quick look at DN and I'm a bit apprehensive. The font is quite small and the writing looks a bit too poetryish for me. I will read the first story to give it a chance but after struggling so hard with last month's choice (sorry, McG!) I may give myself a break and abandon it.

I'm about 75% through DN too. The stories are short enough to read in bite-sized chunks if you don't want to tackle the whole thing in one go

So.... we are nearing the end of July. So I want to re-pose the question I suggested a couple of weeks ago. We've not had a lot of activity on this month's book yet. Part of that might have been down to me being away and not being able to set up the thread/poll details over there>>> (or there VVVV) in a timely manner.

Do Book Groupees want to keep Dark Neighbourhood going into August? Wrill we have a few more takers if we do? Or would folk prefer a new book for August?

I don't think I'm going to read DN but would read a new choice that wasn't short stories fwiw (or non-fiction).

I have looked for it in three bookshops and not found it. The same with Angelmaker. I might read it in the future but it’d be nice to have another option. I would like to join in a discussion.

Hi book groupers :-) I stayed up much too late last night looking at the thread, looking for some holiday reading inspiration. Still looking :-p Although I think ill pick up Ocean At ...

So, any suggestions? Maybe pre last 12 month listings ive not reached yet?

As a hint, books I've enjoyed on hols include Citadel, The Luminaries and that spooky one centred on Highgate Cemetery. (Or is there a specific thread?)

Her fearful symmetry?

I loved The Time Traveler's Wife by the same author.

Ocean at is amazing but won't take you long
