    Thank you! This is such a lovely, thoughtful video. I've been looking for f/f historical fiction recs for quite a long time, and found your channel. So happy! My friend keeps recommending "Patience and Sarah" to me, and now I am definitely going to read it. PS. I would love to read something set earlier than the 19th century.

    • @BooksWaffles
      @BooksWaffles  Před 4 lety +1

      Patience and Sarah is such a delight! I highly recommend it (it’s set in early 19 century, so not exactly what you’re looking for but it’s good). I might actually have a few recs for books set earlier but have to look at my shelves🧐

    Great video, looking forward to the next one.😊 I've read The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo,and liked it a lot! Have not read any of the Sarah Waters books you talked about here, but I've read Tipping the Velvet (loved it) and Affinity (liked it). Love reading about the victorian era:)

    • @BooksWaffles
      @BooksWaffles  Před 4 lety +1

      +Mie Reads you should totally read her other books! They’re all well written and have fascinating plots. She does with historical fiction what a lot of people don’t, which is very appealing. Like for example in Affinity she delved into Victorian ideas about spirituality and occult and that was not what I expected from it at all.

    I need to step up my Sarah Waters game. The Night Watch sounds so good as does Evelyn Hugo which has been on my tbr for ages. I'll definitely have to read them soon along with the rest of these recs. I like to read a lot of classics and historical stories as the weather gets colder. Nothing like curling up with some tea and a good historical novel :D

    • @BooksWaffles
      @BooksWaffles  Před 4 lety

    Thanks for making this video. Since high school I was amazed by, motivated and humbled by LGBT Fiction. Have not read really anything as far as Lesbian stories. A couple years ago I did dive into the works of the hardly known Dutch writer Anna Blaman and after that became intrigued to read more Lesbian oriented books. Eager to check out the titles you discussed here and watch more of your videos.
