Recs if you like Piglet...

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

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!

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

the gurls NEED to read horror books 💋 i wouldn’t say these are all horror but that’s left to the reader to make that assumption

supporting women's rights and very very wrongs

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 sorts of stories about all sorts of women and girls.

This list will be deleted in a few days. Go follow the masterlist by @yarnandbooks instead! :)

Name-calling and insults you might hear on the playground and beyond...

Anything can be an insult if you believe it! My kid brother used to get in trouble for calling us "you...you BEAN" with all the spite his little preschool self could manage 🥹

for those who don't conform to the norm.

Books that explore women's hunger (as a theme/with appetite as a key aspect of the book), whether it's ambition, power, sexual/emotional hunger, longing for a voice/community, or literal physical hunger. #girldinner

All sorts of stories about all sorts of women. Mostly litfic, some horror.

will anybody love me when i'm older?

In these novels, women will do anything and everything to satiate their hunger. There's cannibalism, affairs, and everything in between!

Eat your fears

inspired by both shanspeare’s video essay on the topic and also by my sheer adoration of this niche genre of books! vampires and other monsters are also included in this category.
