Recs if you like Go Gentle...

pink, sophisticated & sometimes fatale <3 (added some essential nonfic & poetry!)

Coming of age novels end when the girl figures out who she is. Coming of Rage begins years later, when the woman realizes what's been done to her and is finally old enough to know better. Some of these women savor it slowly. Others empty the bottle and make a Molotov cocktail. All of them are done apologizing. Always taking recs - See pinned comment!

the coquette femme aesthetic is of the utmost importance

lit fic and horror, mainly, and mostly books by women, nonbinary & trans writers, basically mostly non-cis-men

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

Atmospheric novels that feel like stepping into another country, another era, another interior life.

List formerly known as weird girl elders. "Weird girl literature" books with characters that are over 30.

I've listened to every episode of the Book Riot Podcast post-2021. Below are Rebecca & Jeff’s recurring faves, or books that I just associate with them through osmosis. Disclaimer: this list starts once you’ve read the complete works of Toni Morrison, Colson Whitehead, Zadie Smith, Kazuo Ishiguro, Percival Everett, and, of course, Marilynne Robinson.
