Recs if you like One's Company...
I love it when women
...are unhinged, lonely, tortured, kooky, crazy, unmoored, yearning, plotting, stalking, monologuing, self-pitying, lost, etc.
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, listened in the description, or offhandedly said.
sad girl litfic starter pack
the warm, fragmented interiors of women navigating emotional turmoil, relational dysfunction, identity crises, and existential malaise. intense, immersive, atmospheric, and deeply felt. stories of mundanity and despair, but also of a different beauty, some subtler strength. let's wallow freely and without shame.
note: open to recs, but those focused on interiority rather than romance (e.g. not Normal People)
iβm obsessedβ¦ with this list!
books centering on characters obsessed with a certain thing, ambition, or goal! one of my favorite types of charactersβ¦ you could say Iβm obsessed with them

This is a genre-agnostic mega-list of weird girl* lit expanding on an original list by @yarnandbooks, who is no longer on Pagebound. You can view the original list here: (link) /// As a nonbinary person, I take as broad a view as possible of the "girl" in "weird girl*", hence the asterisk.
Wide open for recommendations!

Books to Read to Feel Well Adjusted
Itβs always nice to feel like a normal person by reading about those more unhinged than you π These are all women focused books. Some Iβve read and some Iβm 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 Iβve included because I thought they were appropriate or the author has a track record of writing women well.
