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 went to the library today and saw 4 things I wanted immediately! Sometimes I go there and don’t feel inspired by anything. I may’ve found more if I’d’ve stayed longer. Anyway - picked up the new Walter Mosley (I love him!). It’s an Easy Rawlins story - Farewell Amethystine and another Agatha Christie - Tommy & Tuppence in The Secret Adversary. I also found an Anthony Bourdain book and a Levinson Wood book in the travel section, but left them for another day. Still got Strange & Norrel + an adult graphic - Saga Vol 1.

Currently reading a book about Big Cats, - the mysterious sort, that people see but which then disappear without trace, and no-one can identify where they came from. It (the book) is by Merrily Harpur, which is quite a mysterious name in itself.

I’ve been labouring over a book since august. My reading virtually stopped as a result. I am not following any of it, but I am making this weeks holiday a time to finish it and then get back to reading regularly. Think I have. 20% left and have read 43% in the last two days. Might stil get some more read before bed.

I read my first Elizabeth Strout - Oh William - recently. I found her style really quite irritating and shan't be reading any of her others.
I'm currently reading Tom Lake by Anne Patchett. It's pleasant enough, though there are definitely longueurs. It's set during the covid lockdown era and in a way these less interesting passages reflect the emptiness of parts of our lives in those times.

Of the two, I certainly prefer Patchett's writing style.
