Recs if you like Banal Nightmare...

In honor of my Canadian queen Catherine O'Hara tragically passing away today, I wept (literally, I am unwell, y'all), and then felt inspired to make a list of books that I think Moira would like. Please give me ideas, I am thinking books that are/contain the following: dramatic and theatrical, VERBOSE vocabulary paired with profanity, female rage/female empowerment, sly humor, dark and twisty, possible nods to The Industry, excellent accessories required.

🍃✨ books where the real setting is somebody’s unsettling or off-kilter brain/perspective (with exceptional prose quality)

books for fans of Lena Dunham’s Girls <3

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

books that fall in the “woman unraveling” subgenre. life is so much, and sometimes the only way we know how to react is to spiral…. for better or worse !

There’s an FMC who is at least over the tender age of 30. If you have an eligible book, please send rec!

List formerly known as weird girl elders. "Weird girl literature" books with characters that are over 30.

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.
