Congratulations to you and Holly on your wedding! I think this is a pretty cool concept, and i think it seemed pretty successful for you, 3 books in your preferred genres that you hadn't heard of before. Thanks for testing it out! I can't wait to see part 2.
Huge congrats on the wedding! 🎉🎉 And yeah like someone else said these services seem pretty hit or miss, but I almost want to try one to see what recommendations I get, like I’m just curious. 🤷♀️
I think it’s a really interesting concept and would love to see you do another round to see if the recs get better. I imagine your bibliologist gets to know your tastes and styles better as you go on. You’re basically my bibliologist now though Georgia, I’ve found so many good books through your channel!
loved this video!! re your question about similar services, many local libraries offer recommendations like this (for free!) :) also based on your preferences in this video, i think you'd love caro de robertis - their books 'cantoras' and 'the gods of tango' sound right up your alley!! both are absolutely GORGEOUS works of queer historical fiction. (apologies if i've already rec'd this author in your comments before hahaha, i can't shut up about how much i love their work. i'm currently reading their most recent book 'the palace of eros' and absoluetly loving it! it's a queer greek retelling, and while i'm usually not a big fantasy person either, i had to give it a go because i'm just so in love with caro's writing) also huge congrats on your wedding!! :)
I've read The Sleeping Car Porter and agree it is a bit slow and I don't care about plot. 😊 It has won awards and is pretty literary. If you do this again, I would suggest you tell them that plot is more important than characters.
congratulations on your wedding, it looked like such a gorgeous day and you and holly both looked stunning!! Also such a great concept for a video, super interesting + I thought it was cool that they gave you recommendations you’d never heard of! Thanks for the video Georgia💚
The Sleeping Car Porter won the Giller Prize! That’s the top Canadian book prize. I just wanted to let you know that! If there are any questions you have about Canadian references, I can maybe help with that. I’m Canadian, of course I never lived in the 1920’s.
you’re so real about the fantasy lack of interest. ive always felt like that and its so annoying bc some DO look interesting but the world building… however i did recently read faebound by saara el-arifi and i was HOOKED. wasnt too complex for me. maybe has turned me into a casual fantasy reader hahaha!
Congrats on the wedding!!! I'm curious to how this book selection service stacks up against others like Book of the Month, OwlCrate etc. It sucks you can't just do a one time book selection though you can always cancel.
Hii, I love this video idea! I know that the local library where I work has a recommendations form on the website where people can submit requests (without having to be a member), but I do not live in the UK so I have no if this is the case for other libraries. Even if the libraries near you do not have anything like this, people who work there are usually happy to help with giving recommendations in person. As a librarian, the books I would recommend based on your answers would be the queer mystery/thriller novel "they never learn" by Layne Fargo, the epistolary queer historical non-fiction "Love letters: Vita and virginia" and for the Genderqueer aspect I would recommend "A dream of a woman" by Casey Plett which is a mix of short stories and connecting stories about trans women. Perhaps any of these sound interesting to you.
Can I recommend a book I think you’d like? I think you’d be really interested in Penance by Eliza Clarke. It’s a fictional true crime book, that features a queer/sapphic plotline and is interspersed with podcast excerpted, letters and newspaper articles etc
I've never seen anyone love all the recommendations from any of these services, so doesn't seem worth it to me. I'll stick to getting my recs of BookTube and The StoryGraph.
It’s definitely a good option if you want to get out of your comfort zone a bit but if you want to know you’re gonna love everything it’s probably not worth it!
I highly recommend the 57 bus by dashka slater. It’s a non fiction about a true crime case that investigates racism and homophobia within the justice system, and it has episcopal elements
I have a question I’ve been wanting to ask, but worried about offending anyone. The word queer. I understand why it’s used now. The taking back of the word. It still makes me cringe inwardly l a bit as it was such a ‘bad’ word all my life, until recently. Is it something that it’s only appropriate for people in the LGBTQ community to use? Similar to how it’s seen as acceptable for rappers to use the N word? I can’t see me using it anytime soon. It’s just something I’ve been curious about.
@@storieswithgeorgiamarie to my ear you are putting the emphasis on the wrong parts. I just double checked the UK pronunciation and it’s the same as the US. I like to say words correctly but of course you can say it any way you like. I pronounce words incorrectly from time to time because I’ve read them for years and never heard them outloud. I think that’s probably common among avid readers.

Carrier pigeons used to carry messages.
Congrats on your wedding, i'm so happy for you and Holly!
I actually haven’t!!! That would be a great idea for a video actually, thank you!!
@@storieswithgeorgiamarie a video about that would be so cool!

Congrats in the wedding!!! I think you’ll like the Lavender House by L. c Rosen and They Never Learn by Layne Fargo for queer mysteries!
Also to piggyback on this, I haven’t read Sarah Waters but apparently she’s a classic queer author!
This was so interesting and I can’t wait to watch the next round of it!
honestly I’m excited to see what they come back with for round two!
Ready for part 2!

Tbf they did give her exactly and perfectly what she asked for
Have you read the honey witch by Sydney j shields ? It's regency and it's sapphic perfection
I highly recommend the 57 bus by dashka slater. It’s a non fiction about a true crime case that investigates racism and homophobia within the justice system, and it has episcopal elements
I get my Queer book reviews from Georgia Marie

Thank you!!
great video
No, no it's not. Simple as that.
that’s not very fun of you
Epistolary is pronounced Uh-pis-toh-lar-ee
Is that not how I said it??
@@storieswithgeorgiamarie no, not even close you said epi-stol-ary
that is exactly the same as the above, I’m so sure
