Feminine Rage
Featuring physically violent and or cunningly intelligent women fighting patriarchal regimes. Both those who empower their fellow women and those in it for selfish purposes, these women change the cores of the societies they are beholden to.






Inspired by Mythos
Retellings and reimaginings of stories and influences from various mythos and pantheons (only putting the first book in each series)

Books with ocean mysticism, pirates, mermaids, sirens, and every sea creature in between.
Covering a range of genres and sub-genres. Only adding the first book of each series.






Fantasy Romance + Romantasy
Fantasy Romance and Romantasy are two different genres, but I enjoy them all the same. This list is full of books from both genres, ranging from YA to extra spicy. Recommendations always welcome!

Books that fucked me up in a realm of different ways, ranging from crying my eyes out to raging at the world to re-evaluating my entire existence.
