Recs if you like Girl Dinner...

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

in progress

Basically, a huge list of every book I ever heard features sapphic characters.

I have not read all of these, so I cannot be sure of the amount of the time on page of the sapphic characters or of the quality of the books.

Some of these I do not plan to read at all, since they are not my style. If you feel like a book doesn't belong here, let me know.

For my favs / read, check out my other lists & shelves.

Open to suggestions for more titles.

Don't shoot the messenger.

books where women eat or think about eating other people

You loved Patrick Bateman. You wanted to be Jay Gatsby. You know all the rules about Fight Club. Well, do I have the list for you! Um, actually... is a list of books where the whole point went over people's heads. These novels handed readers a mirror and they wore it as a name badge instead. Always taking recommendations! (p.s. I am begging you to watch Um, Actually on Dropout TV... um, actually please watch anything/everything on Dropout TV)

these books use (literal) hunger as a political tool to speak to women’s oppression, repression and desire, whether through overt cannibal metaphor, speculative dispatches, or more subtle nuances of appetite in literary fiction. these women are hungry for something more, whether they’re allowed to act on it or not.

recommendations welcome!

I'm quite experienced in the man-hating field. These books made me hate men more than I already did.

Following women on journeys to do weird and maybe violent things.

supporting women's rights and very very wrongs

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

Books We Love from NPR began in 2013, always boasting over 200 books (almost 400 in recent years) featuring genres from memoirs, to cookbooks, to graphic novels, to children’s literature, to nonfiction, to novels. Check out NPR’s website to filter this massive list.

The list is in reverse alphabetical order directly from NPR.

the coquette femme aesthetic is of the utmost importance

Horror stories (in all of its forms/subgenres) from Asian authors!

Recs welcome!

horror novels written by women about girls and women with deadly appetites. despite the title there is sapphic lit here i just liked the pun. these books focus on human cannibals, i.e. not supernatural monsters like vampires, werewolves, etc. is the cannibalism a metaphor for love? rage? sex? all of the above!

Sapphic stories that have an unsettling, sinister, and generally off-putting vibe about them.

Every single Aardvark Book Club book pick since its inception. Updated monthly!

thrillers based in academic settings/college campuses ! recs super welcomed

🚧 under construction 🚧

Social commentary under patriarchy

Books by Filipino authors that I love/are on my tbr suggestions are welcome! :)

I was surprised I couldn't find a list already. This is for my fellow cannibalism readers. Let me know if I missed any!

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
