And after seeing #GaysTheWord describe it as a "butch for butch romance", I read 'My Own Worst Enemy' by Lily Lindon. I thought the exploration of butch identity throughout the book was really interesting and I loved the rivals-to-lovers flirtation.

My favourite #bookshop of all time is obviously Gay’s The Word in Bloomsbury. It’s one of the first places I visited when I moved to #London. I love visiting for that vibe of being a hub of London’s #queer community (sans alcohol and loud music like Soho bars).
It was founded in 1979 & it's well worth reading up on its long history. And of course, if you haven’t already, give them a visit! https://www.gaystheword.co.uk
