Beyond Binaries Bookclub April Nominations: Historical Fantasy

The theme for April will be historical fantasy. Think historical fiction, but with a fantasy twist. As they say, “the past is a foreign country, they do things differently there”. Explore stories of how people actually lived, except with magic as well!

The intention with this theme is for books set in a specific historical setting, and not a secondary world with world building inspired by a particular time and place.

To Nominate a Book

* Make sure that the book has not previously been read by any book club or that BB has not read the author before. You can check this [Goodreads shelf](https://www.goodreads.com/group/bookshelf/107259-r-fantasy-discussion-group). You can suggest an author that was read by a different book club, however.

* Leave one book suggestion per top comment. Please include title, author, and a short summary or description. (You can nominate more than 1 if you like, just put them in separate comments.)

* No need to include bingo squares, as we don’t know what they’ll be by the time we read!

* Keep in mind that this book club focuses on LGBTQIA+ characters. The main character (and as many side characters as possible) or the central theme should fall under the queer umbrella.

The nominations will be open for 2 days, and the poll will be posted on the 11th of February. If more than 5 books are nominated, I'll use the five books whose comments have the most upvotes at the time I make the poll.
