Description

Hey comrades! In this episode, I'm chatting about what the heck "historical accuracy" is anyway with my new favorite historical romance author (and 19th c. English lit professor) Alexandra Vasti, author of the upcoming sapphic romcom, LADIES IN HATING. We talk about falling into research rabbit holes, when to throw that research in the trash, and assign an appropriate amount of hate toward Georgette Heyer and the Victorians. And of course, we're stuffing your TBRs with our favorite historically accurate recs. Enjoy the show!
