Recs if you like Circe...

An emergent subgrene by and about strange women on themes of female rage, sisterhood, hunger, attraction, beauty, motherhood, violence, and much more.

Books that are part of 3 or more quests ✨for easier planning! Initially thought of making this on my shelf, hope the members of pb find this helpful!! (The list is incomplete, I'm working on checking & adding new quest books🙌🏻 thanks for the love ❤️🥹)

These are books that don't rush to impress you. They simmer while the author adds in the layers. They may confuse you or bore you at first - but if you give them time to cook you'll end up with a delicious meal of a book!

Always taking recommendations! If you are recommending a series - the layers need to come together by the end of the first book (not half way through the series).

For all the multitaskers on here (including myself): books featured on 2+ quests! Go get those badges everyone

Books with witchy female characters

In honour of Everybody Scream dropping tomorrow, here are books that are utterly delicious, magical, and sometimes a little bit dark. (Lots of folklore, some horror, and of course feminine rage)

Any book with an mc over 30, whose character arch involves themes common in coming of age stories like, questioning their upbringing or experiencing some aspect of the world/ relationships/ common experience for the first time or learning who they truly are/ what’s important to them/ being themselves authentically for the first time ect.

A list of well-rated sci-fi and fantasy books featuring a woman who's 30 or older as the main character. I'm open to recommendations - I'd love this list to be long

pink, sophisticated & sometimes fatale <3 curating the personality of my aspirations (added some essential nonfic & poetry!)

Coming of age novels end when the girl figures out who she is. Coming of Rage begins years later, when the woman realizes what's been done to her and is finally old enough to know better. Some of these women savor it slowly. Others empty the bottle and make a Molotov cocktail. All of them are done apologizing. Always taking recs - See pinned comment!

Double, double toil and trouble; Fire burn and cauldron bubble. Crafted list of witchy books; made specifically for your looks. Pick one out and read it through; but careful that your heart stay true. Keep your wits lest you fall under spell; though knowledge gained will make you power-fell. Each book contains what you long to find; be it magic, coven, familiar, broom, or all in kind. So please enter and choose where you start; just be so kind as to leave a heart. Happy Castings!

feminine rage, (mostly sapphic) yearning and general vibes that would make hozier, mitski and florence + the machine proud. inspired by the amazing mimi_reads & astraios! suggestions welcome<3

Perfect for fantasy lovers with not enough hours in the day!

Feel free to mention any I missed in the comments 😊
