Dash & Lily is a very cute mini series set around NYC at Christmas time. I didn’t even know there as supposed to be a second season, the ending is definitely satisfying.

It’s my favourite short story book, and your review has made me want to read it again.

So far I‘ve read 156 books this year. A lot of them had over 400 pages, a couple even over 600 pages.

Thank you, I didn’t know that!

It’s a hugely enjoyable and well-researched book. I really hope it won’t stay her only published work. I also loved her podcast, Bad Women (can be found on Spotify), which is well-produced and really gives you even more insights into her work and the lives of these women. She is doing a second season right now, on female murder victims during the London Blitz.

Reply to London book shop recommendations? by 3rd-eye-blind
Unfortunately, Persephone Books had to move, but there is still a big selection of their books in Waterstones at Piccadilly Circus. This Waterstones is the biggest bookstore in Europe, it got 6 levels and a nice cafe. Foyles is also massive and right around the corner of Shaftesbury Avenue. For all kinds of LGBTQ+ books, I heartily recommend Gay’s the Word at Russel Square. They have a wonderful selection, great atmosphere, and they have a lot of signed books and special events with authors. Last but not least, for Fantasy, Sci-Fi and Comics, Forbidden Planet at Shaftesbury Avenue is another great store with lots of good deals and many signed books as well. Have fun in London!
