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!

That's the one, LindsD, thank you. I had The Time Traveller's Wife in my head, but knew that was wrong.

I have started it, and I'm enjoying it although have occasional misgivings about these halfway houses between stories/poems/prose. No regrets, interested to see what others might say and what people think in general about books like Max Porter's "Lanny" - which I started, but couldn't get on with it, as there are several examples of this which are very much in vogue. Do we like? Is it pain in the arse and could poetry do it better? Is it like marmite houmous or some other such abomination, or fish and chips (a similarly exotic fusion dish apparently once upon a time).

I choose Dipps for next month...

Gosh thanks! Would you all be willing to try Queenie by Candice Carty-Williams? If most of you have read it ill choose something else but i enjoyed it when i thought it might be worthy and have a point. It does have plenty of points, but the story comes first and they are all messy

Ive just realised it took me two mins to choosinate. I have the distinct feeling this is bad form and suggests a lack of earnest concern over its suitability for the catholic tastes of the thread

I took ages to choose and chose the worst book in the history of people choosing things.

I commend Dipps' choice to the house.

BTW - if anyone wants to try Angelmaker I'd be happy to post it on. Just don't send it back to me when you finish ;-)

There is sex in it - there is a lot in it - that is problematic. I dont think it pulls any punches
