I love historical fiction, witches, fantasy, and romances. Here’s a list of my favorite books/genres/themes, and tell me what else I should read:
Historical fiction like Philippa Gregory and Elizabeth Fremantle Love the Tudors, but also Catherine de Medici, and the Borgias.
Witch stories like Hour of the Witch by Chris Bohjalian/The Witchhunter’s Sister by Beth Underdown (witch hunts) and The Great Witch of Brittany by Louisa Morgan/The Winter Witch by Paula Brackston (fantasy-lite historical with some romance)
Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller/The Scottish Boy by Alex de Campi; m/m historical romance with lots of feelings
And retellings. Beauty and the Beast, Hades and Persephone, other mythology/fairytales.
So please tell me what else I should read.

Tbh Wicked by Gregory Maguire 🤷
Serpent and Dove
Historical fiction easy answer are the Wolf Hall books by Hillary Mantel
For witchy (admittedly not my bag), you might like Weyward
Any of Georgette Heyer’s regency stuff! Sylvester, the Corinthian, the Toll Gate, Venetia, The Grand Sophie. Charming.
