Beautiful books for when your monthly reading roundup needs a little facelift 😉

books that fall in the “woman unraveling” subgenre. life is so much, and sometimes the only way we know how to react is to spiral…. for better or worse !

All sorts of stories about all sorts of women. Mostly litfic, some horror.

Why read a cozy book, when instead you can feel unsettled yet somewhat validated while reading of another women’s journey through the horrors of life?

From a slow descent into madness, covering up murder for siblings, accidentally joining a cult, to insurance fraud over taxidermy - this list covers it all!!

A collection of mostly “literary” books with kink or bdsm as major plot points. I cannot state I’ve read all of these, but I’ve purposely leaned far away from the more popular Fifty Shades of Grey books. These books center women in their narratives, queer people, neurodivergent people. And others not always see in this genre.

Books that mainly take place inside the MC's head. Not saying the events are not real, but the compelling part of the book is the thoughts of the MC and less the plot. Typically unwell or struggling.

My favorite books that explore grief.
