It’s always nice to feel like a normal person by reading about those more unhinged than you 😌 These are all women focused books. Some I’ve read and some I’m going to read. Apologies in advance if it gets long. Recommendations are absolutely welcome!! So please feel free.

I know a couple are written by men which might be taboo for some but I’ve included because I thought they were appropriate or the author has a track record of writing women well.

Atmospheric novels that feel like stepping into another country, another era, another interior life.

Books where obsession and power dynamics are central themes.

we wake from a dream like baby, what. was. that.

You can't trust their perspective, but by god, you can't get enough of reading it.

odd girlies !!!!

books that are solely based on religion or mention religion, have religious themes.

Books about survivors of SA, domestic violence, and abusive relationships (specifically those that helped me in my journey)
