hello everyone and happy UK LGBTQ+ history month! historical fiction is one of my favourite genres (but not one i pick up often enough) and i thought that this month would just be the perfect time to talk about some LGBTQ+ historical fiction! i've not read as many as these as i'd have liked to so sorry if i get anything wrong! i hope you enjoy!

also don't mind me saying Ari & Dante is set in Old El Paso lol, clearly I was just fancying some fajitas. it's set in El Paso, Texas. and I couldn't remember exactly so didn't want to assume while filming but i just want to say that both boys have Mexican heritage.
