weird girl covers that are paintings w/ neon text
an oddly specific trend i’ve noticed, mostly in genres like horror, weird girl, feminine rage, etc. (but there are some others here, too) 💁🏻
assigned by frankie
almost every single book mentioned* on 🔗 Frankie's Shelf youtube channel because their taste is wild and i love it.
updated as frankie posts. *mentioned as in the book is the focus of the video, listed in the description, or offhandedly said.

Being Human is Uncomfortable
These books are deeply human, and they aren't afraid to make you uncomfortable along the way.

Recommendations are welcome!
