Recs if you like Bear...

Following women on journeys to do weird and maybe violent things.

Bears in all their shapes and forms and across genres (this includes sentient teddybears and memoirs). If not friend why friend-shaped?! As long as the bear is plot or character relevant the book can land in here. Feel free to recommend books to be added (maybe also tell me why you think the bear functions as relevant for the story). We bear bears!

Why settle when you can have a monster obsessed with you.

Monster, Mermen, Alien, Entity, Demons, Vampires, Wolf, Orc, ect.

Horror, Fantasy, Romance, and Smut.

Straight & queer

Standalone & series Only first books in series were added because why would you read a second book if you didn't like the first.

idek man. i love this genre and vibe though

books in which the cover has lime green font

(weirdly lots of horror?)

alternate titles broke: weird girl lit woke: weird wildlife lit freak fauna creatures serving cunt in a god-fearing way animals want me, literary fiction fears me

these are not just books about animals. these are books where an owl/crow/deer/shark/bear/genderqueer mountain lion/other concerning critter arrives carrying the entire emotional weight of the novel and nobody does anything about it.

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.

exactly what it says on the tin

weird girl adjacent books set in canada or by canadian authors

a collection of books that highlight unconventional love – and i mean really unconventional

as in, feral

Unhinged is the only thing i can think about these romance spicy novels with sentient objects or lobsters!!
