Books that smell like Gwyneth's vagina candle...

Often murder. Sometimes kinda culty.
Burn after reading.

Weird and Unhinged Women 2.0
All sorts of stories about all sorts of women and girls.
This is a genre-agnostic mega-list of weird girl* fiction expanding on an original list by @yarnandbooks, who is no longer curating lists 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!
