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This is a genre-agnostic mega-list of weird girl* fiction expanding on an original list by @yarnandbooks (no longer being updated).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!
books involving motherhood
some book recs that involve the complexities of motherhood: the tough and tender, chaotic and beautiful, exhausting and full of purpose.
dystopian book recs
dystopian: relating to or denoting an imagined state or society where there is great suffering or injustice.
audiobook narrator spotlight: Ell Potter
next up in the series is Ell Potter! they have a wide range, from litfic to romance to thrillers to cozy fantasy. named one of audible’s break out stars, Ell has a soothing voice and their cadence just scratches an itch in my brain in the best way. Like my last list, I’ve avoided Audible exclusives so everyone can access these titles through Libby, Hoopla, or Libro.fm.
anyone can spotlight any narrator they want at any time! 🫶
as always, please drop your suggestions below!
speculative literary fiction
literary fiction/general fiction books with a speculative twist some lean more on the literary side, some more speculative. these books are more likely to be marketed as lit fic than speculative/sci-fi/fantasy.
lesser-known dystopia fiction
dystopia fiction / near-future speculative fiction that hasn't hit huge bestseller lists, gone viral, etc. (for this list I'm focusing on dystopia without a heavy romance line)
dark fairytales & sumptuous myths
