WWMRR? aka What Would Moira Rose Read?
In honor of my Canadian queen Catherine O'Hara tragically passing away today, I wept (literally, I am unwell, y'all), and then felt inspired to make a list of books that I think Moira would like. Please give me ideas, I am thinking books that are/contain the following: dramatic and theatrical, VERBOSE vocabulary paired with profanity, female rage/female empowerment, sly humor, dark and twisty, possible nods to The Industry, excellent accessories required.
all the page’s a stage
fiction where the drama is baked in, as the plot or setting involves the theatre.
Its Hard but There's Beautiful Things
Books of various genres that make you feel "oooof" but also "we'll work out a way to get through, even if its not perfect"
Feminist Fiction
Fiction books that outright tackle misogyny, or have feminist undertones. For every reader out there who's tired of being met with toxic/misogynist behaviour in stories that is presented as acceptable, or even romantic, and those who want to learn about the female perspective. (For more horrory books, see my list "Feminist Horror", for YA, see my list "Feminist YA".)
a fun romp
it's just not that serious
f-ck the patriarchy
female centered books by female authors, for when you just can't handle the patriarchy anymore. Feel free to leave suggestions in the comments
Audie Award-Winning Audiobooks from 2016-2020
I’m an audiobook lover, and I’m always looking for great audiobooks! Rather than just listing my favorites, I thought I’d make a list of audiobooks that have won Audie Awards from 2016-2020.
There are so many, so I stuck to specific categories. Not all categories are in all years, so there is some inconsistency. I included the following categories:
- Audiobook of the year
- Autobiography/Memoir
- Erotica
- Spanish
- Fantasy
- Fiction
- History/Biography
- Humor
- Horror
- Literary Fiction
- Classics
- Middle Grade
- Mystery
- Nonfiction
- Romance
- Science Fiction
- Short Stories/Collections
- Thriller/Suspense
- YA/Teens
- Paranormal

Happy listening!
