I JUST FINISHED THE WATCHMAKER OF FILIGREE STREET AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO READ NEXT. CAN YOU RECOMMEND ME SOMETHING OF THE SAME CALIBER?

THE BEDLAM STACKS, ALSO BY NATASHA PULLEY, HAHA

I’m deadly serious – I loved The Bedlam Stacks even MORE than Watchmaker, if that’s possible. the same ‘here’s a weird, random period of history’ setting, the same ‘here are some really niche things you know nothing slash don’t care about’ plot, the same ‘here’s the quietest, sneakiest love story you’ve ever not noticed creeping up on you’ romance. but with more ADVENTURING. and PERIL. and a CAMEO from a certain CLAIRVOYANT, eh eh eh 

buuuuut it doesn’t come out until July, so to tide you over here are some lists for books in the same-ish vein: queer historical novels, queer fantasy (almost exclusively YA), and some non-YA, adult, classic novels. 

wuthering heights is so fucked up. there isnt a single character thats likeable yet the book still slaps..... at least in jane eyre jane is likeable even if annoying sometimes. but cathy??? i mean both cathys. they are annoying as hell all through the book. heathcliff is sexy but for all the wrong reasons and i kinda hate him
