Overall: An interesting article - thanks for writing it. Please could you add the citation for the sentence about Simon Mayo's bookclub as it appears to be unreferenced? Otherwise article is new enough, long enough, seems plagiarism free and we're just waiting for an additional source. Lajmmoore (talk) 21:08, 30 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
