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This is a genre-agnostic mega-list of weird girl* fiction expanding on an original list by @yarnandbooks (no longer being updated). 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!

A list to help those who aspire to read from authors outside the typical areas. I will be creating different list for different regions. I will also list the countries currently found in the list. Be sure to check out the other lists! Note: The countries are not perfect as some countries are classified differently, so I did my best.
Current Countries: China, Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan

Depressing, rage-inducing, a collection of books that thoroughly disgusted me of the events/ the character's thoughts and/ behavior. Sometimes it's important. Sometimes it's just fun. Could be satire, social commentary, or historical!
ps. as always, please do check the TW
That girly feeling of wanting to burn it all down
