Although I read on my Kindle and phone, I love going to a book shop to browse and buy books too. The smell of books, the feel of them, the pretty covers. 😍 It's definitely my happy place! My favourite bookshop is Gay's The Word - London's only gay book store. It stocks my books, along with a shopful of LGBTQ+ fiction & non-fiction. If you're in London, do pay it a visit and buy yourself a treat. Other London bookshops worth a visit? Waterstone's in Greenwich has great books & stationery, along with a sweeping staircase and excellent coffee & cakes. The Stoke Newington Bookshop is also a fabulous place to pick up your next read, as is Brick Lane Bookshop. Finally, if you're more central, hotfoot it to Foyle's. But be warned: you might lose a few hours and come out with a lighter wallet! #gaybooks #lesbianbooks #lgbtqbooksWhat's your favourite book shop? ... See MoreSee Less

In honour of National Cartoonist Day, I am geeking out over Alison Bechdel's comic strip, Dykes to Watch Out For. Are you a fan of this epic cartoonist's work? Dykes To Watch Out For was the soundtrack to my twenties, and I devoured every collection as soon as it was published. If you haven't caught up with Mo, Ginger, Lois and the gang, you're in for a treat. Bechdel's ground-breaking graphic memoir, 'Fun Home,' catapulted her into the mainstream back in 2006. It's a heart-breaking and very real depiction of family life and growing up queer. She followed that up with 'Are You My Mother?', and both are big favourites of mine. Fun Home, The Musical was also an absolute tour de force.Dykes to Watch Out For is also the origin of the Bechdel Test, which has become the frequently used metric in the representation of women in fiction. It asks whether a work features at least two women who talk to each other about something other than a man. Rest assured, my books always pass this test! 😎#cartoons #cartoon #art #drawing #NationalCartoonistsDay ... See MoreSee Less

I thought the trope this week could be women who come out later in life. Because who knows when you might get stopped in your tracks by a woman who takes your breath away?My books that focus on coming out later in life:The London Of Us has Alice, who has the perfect boyfriend as well as a great job and settled home life. However, when she meets Rachel, she realises she might not be all that straight after all.In Before You Say I Do, Abby is getting married to Marcus, and the wedding is weeks away. When he hires a professional bridesmaid to help her out, things get even more complicated when Abby realises she has feelings for Jordan. In Nothing To Lose, Joy is getting divorced and is the subject of town gossip. She opens her home following some catastrophic floods to help the locals. And that’s when Scarlet moves in.Do you have a favourite book about late bloomers? #comingout #comingoutlater #olderlesbians #olderwomen ... See MoreSee Less
