Following women on journeys to do weird and maybe violent things.
A Journey Through the Self
A compilation of books (mostly fiction) in which the main character/s set out on a journey, leading to moments of meditation, introspection, meandering walks through the memory, conflicts with both the self, the path, and others, and ultimately: change, for both the characters and the reader. In these novels, the journey is more important than the destination.
Recommendations are welcome!
autofiction: hyperreflection as an art form
Introspective books by people who observe a lot, ponder a lot, feel a lot, and write about it. Creative memoir, self-indulgent navel-gazing, or "wan little husks" (as Joyce Carol Oates once put it)... whatever you personally think about autofiction, including whether or not it really is a genre, this somewhat experimental form of writing most definitely gives both writers and readers a chance to engage in narratives in a different way.
unhinged ladies
books that center a woman main character who makes extremely questionable (unhinged) decisions, whether by choice or necessity. (often seen as ~ hysterical ~) heroes & villains welcome. [ongoing list]

Hooked by the title

This is a genre-agnostic mega-list of weird girl* lit expanding on an original list by @yarnandbooks, who is no longer on Pagebound. You can view the original list here: (link) /// As a nonbinary person, I take as broad a view as possible of the "girl" in "weird girl*", hence the asterisk.
Wide open for recommendations!
