9 months late but wtv! I want to get 7 Husbands of EH and I’m wondering how gay it is 😭 I’ve seen so many TikTok’s and they have either been 2/10s or 10/10s
as a bisexual woman i like straight and wlw books because it’s the best of both worlds. well recently all the straight romances i have read are all the exact same, same premise same brooding love interest and im over it. i read one last stop which was the first sapphic book i read in months and it burrowed its way deep in my heart like how it has for you. at times it was infuriating but i love it and it’s now one of my favourite books. not because i loved the writing style or the storyline but the characters, their relationships just made me so genuinely happy that i realised just how stressed, unhappy and unmotivated i had been that past 2 months with exams and for some reading falling physically unwell the first 3 weeks into term. this book was my break and it doesn’t have to be yours but it will be mine
I am not a gay woman but I do still enjoy a sapphic novel. I find them less predictable and cheesy than standard romance/womens contemporary fiction. Thank you for sharing. I will definitely be checking some of these out.
Ikr…..I still read girl and boy romances sometimes and I used to read them more but so many of them are basically the same 😭😭……I definitely agree with you even though I am a lesbian lol
hehe I kinda used to be homophones during teenage, someone close to me got hurt by my homophobia and she suggested me to look up the term know more before talking. I considered it, found out it is not abnormal. tried to get used to gxg by reading such wattpad and animal tunrs out, I have gotten so used to it it's my comfort zone now. :)
I'm very excited to hear which books you recommend! I'm straight, but I loved One Last Stop so much, and I've found that the portrayed relationships are often healthier than in classic romance books. Not always obviously, but so far I've read some great stories!
I suddenly felt like UA-cam wasn't recommending me enough videos with queer books, so I'm so glad I came across this video and your channel! I also don't really read scifi or fantasy, and my favorite book is also Ari and Dante. I'm so excited to watch more of your videos and add more of your recommendations to my tbr
The Bright Falls series (Delilah Green doesn't care and Astrid Parker doesn't fail) by Ashley Herring Blake are amazing, I'm pretty sure Iris Kelly doesn't date will be also really good. And of course Evelyn Hugo changed my life. Thanks for this video ❤
I read One Last Stop a while ago per your recommendation and I loved it! I get what you mean about the characters burrowing into your head…. Thank you so much for this Georgia ❤❤❤
Very late to the party with your channel but now subscribed! The miseducation of Cameron Post as well as TSHOEH are my favourites. As someone who doesn't read romance often I really like Breaking character by Lee Winter. Also our wives under the sea
Hang The Moon is the sequel to Written in the Stars, it's about Brendon and Annie. Didn't read that one since it's straight romance and I'm not really feeling up to reading it. Count Your Lucky Stars is about Margot and her ex-bestie/ex-lover Olivia. Honestly i like it even more than Written in the Stars (probably because I am a sucker for childhood friends to lovers). It made me genuinely laugh out loud a few times, which is quite rare.
ive been getting into sapphic books for the first time and i read delilah green doesnt care a few weeks ago. and like you said, yeah, the romance is very very good, but the relationship between delilah and astrid made me SOB towards the end. in a good way, i think. it was soooo good
Another lovely video, perfect listen on a rainy weekend. Thank you! You could do a history video on the Daughters of Bilitis, and how it ties in with Sappho and the term “sapphic”, just a thought.
Georgia you should totally read Astrid Parker Doesn't Fail, the "sequel" to Delilah Green! It just came out and I loved it, although not as much as Delilah. A third book, Iris Kelly Doesn't Date, is also coming out next year and I think it's going to be really cute. I really want someone to script a tv series set in Bright Falls!!! I would watch the hell out of it lol
OMG I LOVE THIS VIDEO!! Thank you Georgia!! Currently only reading books with queer characters in them because I am making up for all the lost time with very little queer fiction books on the market.
The Love and Lies of Rukhsana Ali: Seventeen-year-old Rukhsana Ali tries her hardest to live up to her conservative Muslim parents' expectations, but lately she's finding that impossible to do. She rolls her eyes when they blatantly favour her brother and saves her crop tops and makeup for parties her parents don't know about. If she can just hold out another few months, Rukhsana will be out of her familial home and away from her parents' ever-watchful eyes at Caltech, a place where she thinks she can finally be herself. But when she is caught kissing her girlfriend Ariana, her devastated parents take Rukhsana to Bangladesh, where everything she had been planning is out of reach. There, immersed in a world of tradition and arranged marriages, Rukhsana finds the perspective she's been looking for in her grandmother's old diary. The only question left for her to answer is: Can she fight for the life she wants without losing her family in the process?
Hey I love your videos the lesbian pride flag in the tumb nail is the old one it did excluded trans women and mad my trans phobe the one that is inclusive it the sunset lesbian pride some people don’t know so thought to tell you and I love your videos the help a lot for me to find good books 🫶

I’ve seen so many TikTok’s and they have either been 2/10s or 10/10s
And how good is it? I guess that’s a bad question but I’m curious

To anybody still unconvinced, yes, Last Night At The Telegraph Club is THAT good
it really is!!!!!

Getting stuck for eternity on a subway train seems like a fate worse than hell and now I’m gonna have to read that one to see what happens. 😂
hahahaha literally it made me sweat at points 🤣
I read TSHOEH one year ago and haven't found more sapphic books that make me sobbing the way this book did
We need the Taylor lyric analysis 🙌🏻🫶🏻
I read One Last Stop a while ago per your recommendation and I loved it! I get what you mean about the characters burrowing into your head…. Thank you so much for this Georgia ❤❤❤
I am obsessed with this video and now I have to go and finish my current book so I can pick up these!
yes let me enable you!
The Taylor Swift quote was the cherry on top of the gay cake ♥️♥️ thank you for all these recommendations!

I'm currently halfway through!!! I hadn't realised Iris' book had already been announced as well, that's so exciting!
@@storieswithgeorgiamarie How are you liking it??? At the end of it there is an extract from Iris Kelly and it got me HOOKED!
Your taste in books in completely the opposite as mine, I still watch all your videos 😅
Ooh, also Ivy Aberdeen's Letter to the World!!
OMG I LOVE THIS VIDEO!! Thank you Georgia!! Currently only reading books with queer characters in them because I am making up for all the lost time with very little queer fiction books on the market.

this has been on my list for ages, maybe I need to take the plunge!!
