Books that will make you cry & feel

i see new cannibal-leaning lists on PB all the time. modern authors are running with this theme in so many fun ways. BUT! this queer-coded, girlboss, eat the rich cannibalism we're seeing a lot of right now is brand new. i think it's important to balance this with an understanding of the role that cannibalism has played in colonialism and systematic violence. here are some books to read if you're a fan of man-eaters, soylent green, or special meat. as always, i am open to recommendations!

Books with sapphic/lesbian relationships involving vampires!

Whales and octopus, the best and smartest creatures in the world! A mix of fiction and nonfiction that are about or prominently feature these amazing marine animals.
