This is how to prove that I'm incredibly lazy. Is it just m/m historical fiction, or lesbian and gay historical fic? And is it just full length novels rather than short stories?

homosexual historical fiction. short stories, novellas, novels, text books, e-books.

I'm even thinking about movies.

Not f/f though. i don't read it, i don't know anyone who does and I don't know of any titles. Anyone can do their own if they want i guess.

I do :)

But I'm far too lazy to do any such thing. I mean busy, of course. Yes, busy, not lazy...

This looks excellent - thank you for putting it together! I am looking forward to reading more reviews, despite guilty consciousness I ought to contribute one myself, though I am hampered by total absense of critical faculty about things I actually like. I might attempt the Wells, being a countrywoman and all.

Anyway, here's a couple more from the indefatigable biblio-hound (wuff!):

Iridescence by Peter Wells - Victorian England and Napier, New Zealand
(Wells is best known outside NZ as the director of the feature film "Desperate Remedies", a marvellous lesbian melodrama set in Victorian NZ, also highly recommended)

It Takes Two by Elliott Mackle - Florida detective mystery 1949

I can't remember if I've given this one already and can't check the list as there appears a glitch in the coding list so it stops at "Raven's Brood"; forgive the duplication if I've already mentioned it:

Wingmen by Ensan Case - WWII (war in the Pacific)
(read this recently, very good especially for fans of war/navy/flier novels)

Totally unrelated: thank you for the Orlofsky reference which came at the psychological moment to send me in full gallop in pursuit of a brand-spanking-new plot bunny, after five years hooked on the same characters (who are now taking a well-earned rest).

Thank you so much for the extra titles - so wonderful to know about new ones!!!
