Recs if you like Vagablonde...

We should all be reading queer, all year, but this list is full of upcoming queer books of all makes and models coming out in 2026. If you have a rec to add, just please keep in mind we’re looking for 2026 releases!

...are unhinged, lonely, tortured, kooky, crazy, unmoored, yearning, plotting, stalking, monologuing, self-pitying, lost, etc.

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! :)

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

"Weird girl literature" featuring sapphic characters

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.

She's a mess.
