Recs if you like Mathilda...

Overlooked, lesser known classics from all over the world and of many genres.

This list also exists as a book club on Fable under the same name.

The Entire Collection of Penguin's Little Black Classics

NOTE: the ones with non matching covers just won't switch to the LBC edition no matter what I do

Something compelling to make you think

Mujeres que escriben historias

Interested: Me interesan pero aun no lo consigo TBR: Comprado pero aún sin leer

little tbr of quintessential gothic works, all written by women authors! (still updating)

What a woman does is open doors, it is not a question of locking or unlocking.

Name generators my beloveds. Just a list made by someone whose D&D characters were mostly christened with the help of RNG. The one and only criterion: Title is a first/given name (or nickname too)! Some are verified by the book actually containing a character with that name.

I will update this list frequently! Recommendations welcomed.

All the books in the little black classic collection from Penguin.

Women pushing the boundaries of what’s acceptable in pursuit of their urges and desires. They’re behaving badly, unconventionally, and selfishly. Some are violent, some are horny, some are traumatized, some are angry—but all of them are finally acting for themselves.

An expansive list born out of combination of feminine rage, weird girl lit, “good for her”, women vs the void, monstrous feminine, and everything in between. Books written by women, trans, and nonbinary authors only.

They are pretty, they are tiny, they are collectable, but have you read them all?

Missing two: cannot find them on Pagebound

classic literature that feels like running through a field in a long skirt or writing ink-stained poems at midnight, elegant prose, moral themes, academia, mostly from between 1500-1900 (a few exceptions)

Classics that pack a punch without being The Brick of Monte Cristo. Books around 200 pages or less from across the category, published before 1900.

This is a list of books by the authors present in "The Literary Witches Oracle" deck, written by Taisia Kitaiskaia, illustrated by Katy Horan. A celebration of magical women writers.

"Do from within, the same work of reconstruction which the nineteenth-century archaeologists have done from without" -- MOH, pg. 273. Old classics for the new world, new classics for the oldest world we dare to endure with human hope upon. Undeniably timeless literature.

books that had scenes that made me uncomfortable, stressed and/or anxious. all between 3 and 5 stars

For better or worse, mothers who haunt their daughters and the narrative.
