Here's every book so far from BOTM's monthly shortlist since February 2015 for anyone who wants to read them all like I do!

Lit fic books to read for the aesthetic

Hii, everyone ♡ I am a very big fan of the booktuber @caricanread so I thought I would make a list of all the books she has read this year! ✰

for the people who seek out a little bit of cannibalism in their literature 💕 comment recs for me to add to this list/my tbr!!

PLEASE NOTE: THIS LIST MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS IF CANNIBALISM IS THE PLOT TWIST!!

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

Social commentary under patriarchy

Weird, mostly girlys going through different unique life adventures. Supporting girlies (the girls, theys and thems) rights and wrongs.  Regina George screaming down her hallway into her room hunting down the Burn Book

All the 2026 BOTM monthly, add on, and Allurial titles

Books that have online communities, traditional lifestyles, unlikeable characters and everything that can go wrong when you mash them up together.
