@eleanorrees Unclean!
This reminds me of the twenty minutes I once wasted in Waterstones in the run-up to Xmas, moving books between the "gifts for him" and "gifts for her" displays

@Nickiquote to be fair, I'm a dad and I thought Robert Harris' Pompeii was excellent. Most of the rest looks...meh
@glaringanomaly Haha, I’ve actually read that one too. It was a long while ago though. It came out 23 years ago.

@JackTheCat Of course, I’m not an animal.

@MiaMarkTwo James Patterson doesn’t appear on this stand but I did note that there were loads of James Patterson (branded) books in the normal books section.

@Nickiquote stick a few copies of ‘Strong Female Character’ in there.

I find it mildly reassuring that with space for 20 titles, they only managed to find 18 so had to show two of them twice

Yeah I haven't read that, but I would. And the Bernard Cornwell too, probably. Both are good writers

Every Ken Follett strong feeeemale character during every phase of British history:
- Whip-smart and also lithe as a whip.
- Sense of yuuumour and also very serious.
- Fiercely independent and also totally devoted to A Guy.
- Extremely skillful and resourceful does everything better than the men around her can do but also, and this is important, most fetchingly.
- Very ethical and also cunning and brave but also frightened and admirable but with some vulnerabilities and strong but with a softer side.
- Has been through a lot which has just made her stronger not bitter and definitely not a man-hater in fact really rather horny and up for it right now as a matter of fact.
