Recs if you like Half His Age...

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

Fiction & nonfiction books that explore the complexities and traumas of mother-child relationships or in which such relationships play a central role. While many books on this list are what I’d classify as including “mommy issues” there are others that are more about the different perspectives and nuances of the mother-child (often specifically mother-daughter) relationship. Some books center the child, some the mother, some both.

Suggestions are welcome.

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

audiobooks where the narrator is the author! any book goes, no matter the genre. there may be multiple versions of the audiobook, but at least one version has the author as narrator. please suggest more in the comments!

These books are deeply human, and they aren't afraid to make you uncomfortable along the way. Whether the characters are unlikeable or the author seems to be rudely calling you out or the content is critiquing an aspect of the human experience (or all the above), these books are unflinching in the face of their consumers. Recommendations are welcome!

All sorts of stories about all sorts of women and girls.

This list will be deleted in a few days. Go follow the masterlist by @yarnandbooks instead! :)

Works of fiction that remind of their author's life.

A type of novel among other things called autobiographical fiction as I have learnt.

Recommendations always welcome!

Men who make it so easy to hate them. Gotta throw the whole man away. Would love to hear recommendations 🙂‍↔️

a collection of books im interested in which are releasing this year (2026). no particular order

All sorts of stories about all sorts of women. Mostly litfic, some horror.

Mostly memoirs, mostly celebrities. Books where listening to the author read it can add so much to the stories because they can convey the exact tone that they intended.

graphic design is my passion

Books where obsession and power dynamics are central themes.

books about weirdos. most of these are psychological thrillers or explore controversial themes.

we wake from a dream like baby, what. was. that.

Women pushing the boundaries of what’s acceptable in pursuit of their urges and desires. They’re behaving badly, unconventionally, and selfishly. Some are violent, some are horny, some are traumatized, some are angry—but all of them are finally acting for themselves.

An expansive list born out of combination of feminine rage, weird girl lit, “good for her”, women vs the void, monstrous feminine, and everything in between. Books written by women, trans, and nonbinary authors only.

RUN GIRL!!!!
