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've read all three of those @Diogenes which is a bit of a shock to me. As per LD I read The Millstone as a Book For Every Year.

Little Nemo wrote:I'm currently reading Dark Matter by Blake Crouch. It's a sci-fi book about the multiverse and it's pretty enjoyable. It's not the best written book I've ever read but it's an interesting story and it's got a plot twist that I wasn't expecting.


I loved it @Little Nemo. It seemed to get better the further you got too 😃

I knew that with the Mick Herron @McGoohan . I’ve read all the Slow Horses books and Dolphin Junction, I thought I’d get this as an easy read.

@Diogenes I read The Millstone when it first came out - perhaps even before it officially came out, as it was a review copy sent to my father who was at the time reviewing novels for the New Statesman. He said it was a really good month for reviews, with two books in it well worth reading, The Millstone being one (the other was called The Face I Had, but I can't remember the author's name). Might read it again.

That's very interesting @Columba !
Still on The Millstone, I'm currently reading Always and Forever by Rose Tremain. It's very much in the genre of The Millstone - I'm enjoying it, but can't help thinking that Rose had Margaret Drabble's work somewhere in the back of her mind when she wrote this one.

It was OK but I struggled with the writing style. Probably won't try another one
