what does it mean to be perfect when perfect cannot exist?

books with commentary about the wellness and beauty industries, social media, and self care.

Books that are atmospheric, emotionally unsettling, beautifully written, a little weird, and linger long after you finish them.

“lynchian” is an over-prescribed pill, so i’m not going to assign such a label to any of these books. still, this selection reflects works that are in some way evocative of the work of master artist and filmmaker david lynch.

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

pink, sophisticated & sometimes fatale <3 (added some essential nonfic & poetry!)

Horror books written by women where a female MC is "going through something" and it's (mostly) society's fault. Others might think she's going crazy, or seeing things that aren't really there... But is she, really?

These books explore the real horrors women have to face in society through the storytelling conventions of the horror genre.

in which nothing happens or a lot happens, but sometimes it feels like nothing at all.

also known as: lit fic that feels like a dream or a nightmare or a hallucination.

To be clear, these are books that smell like the candle, not Gwyneth Paltrow's actual vagina. They're books with girl bosses, lip oils or maybe serums.

Often murder. Sometimes kinda culty.
