I need a Georgia Nicholson renaissance in the culture, we should all be putting more respect on Louise Rennison's name so what a joy to see her on this list 🙌🏻

I love Edna O’ Brien! Including an Irish novelist on your list makes my (Irish) heart happy. You should read ‘Foster’ by Claire Keegan if you haven’t!

Thank you Lena, I will read them all! Your show arrived in France yesterday as well, I love it so much, gosh Lena, I missed your writing so much. Bravo. Bravo. In French, we can say : « Elle est trop » in such a good way.

In a much simpler time I had “Away, laughing on a fast camel” as my AIM away message and I thought I was SO clever. TY for giving Angus the spotlight it deserves.

I’m not usually a binge watcher but I finished Too Much in two days. Much needed, thank you.
