Weird and Unhinged Women 2.0
All sorts of stories about all sorts of women and girls.
This is a genre-agnostic mega-list of weird girl* fiction expanding on an original list by @yarnandbooks (no longer being updated). 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!
Weird Women of the Late 20th Century (1945-2001)
Lives of outsiders rendered in sharp prose style. Descendants of Shelley, the Brontes, and Woolf; forebears to 'Weird Girl Lit'. Title refers to the authors, the subjects of the work may not always be women. Focused on novels published between WW2 and 9/11, with a few memoirs and short story collections.
Scotland books... thistle do nicely!
Books set in/around Scotland. Highlands, Edinburgh, Glasgow, outer islands, etc.
Books to Read to Feel Well Adjusted
Itβs always nice to feel like a normal person by reading about those more unhinged than you π These are all women focused books. Some Iβve read and some Iβm going to read. Apologies in advance if it gets long. Recommendations are absolutely welcome!! So please feel free.
I know a couple are written by men which might be taboo for some but Iβve included because I thought they were appropriate or the author has a track record of writing women well.
Judge Me By My Size, Do You?
On the quest to collect badges, sometimes you just need a shorter read for a palate cleanse. I made this list as a resource for quicker reads in between heavy hitters - all books listed below are 1) included in at least one PageBound quest and 2) are 200 pages or less. Any and all leads are welcome!
Please note: This will not include books only found in readalongs or limited quests, as I want this list to reflect books that satisfy always-available quests.
