Badge Gremlins
Shorter books (under 200 pages) that are part of at least one quest. Many are also in the public domain, making them easily accessible when you want to grind for that next badge.
Charco Press!
Aspiring to read more of charco press because they are so so underrated! From their page: "Charco means 'puddle' in Spanish. In short: the very best of contemporary Latin American literature. Brought to you in English translation for the first time."

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.

Perspectives: Pregnancy and Motherhood
Books centered on characters navigating pregnancy or early motherhood. Reading from differing perspectives on this topic showcases how women from various backgrounds may experience this part of life (even if most on this list are fictional). Their narratives still offer insight into the emotional and psychological realities of pregnancy and early motherhood, and show how it can influence their mental health - for better or for worse.
Motherhood (Oh What Fun)
Pregnancy and its horrors and/or joy. Motherhood and women's bodies. Motherhood and dystopia. Motherhood and horror. Motherhood and grief. Motherhood and happiness. Mothers and daughters. Daughters and mothers. Mothers and sons, sons and mothers. What say you.
