Recs if you like Everyone Knows Your Mother Is a Witch...

Fiction about hyperspecific stuff that'll get you lost in Wikipedia if you're not careful — the more niche the better. Suggestions welcome, but to make the cut, there MUST be a corresponding Wikipedia page!! Links in the comments to get you started.

A little feral, a little fashionable, and wholly uninterested in being understood. From housewives who fall in love with sea creatures to grandmothers who commune with the cosmos. These stories are eccentricity, rebellion, and taste.

bitch what were YOU doing at the devils sacrement...

is it hot in here or is it the witchcraft accusations

some book recs that involve the complexities of motherhood: the tough and tender, chaotic and beautiful, exhausting and full of purpose.

It’s always nice to feel like a normal person by reading about those more unhinged than you 😌 These are all women focused books. Some I’ve read and some I’m 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 I’ve included because I thought they were appropriate or the author has a track record of writing women well.

Fiction and non-

Any book I found during the year that I want to read at some point.
