discussing heavy topics and mental illnesses!!(SA, Mental disorders, death, etc) If you have recommendations PLEASE comment them. I beg of you. (Also ignore the emojis I can't think of any)

my fave lesbian/sapphic (and culturally related queer) period romance novels, mostly pre-victorian era where they have to overcome angsty and tough queer coming-of-age.

Experimental, weird, brilliant

Grounded, thoughtful, smart

Soulful, poetic, quietly devastating

Expansive, imaginative, always packing a bag

Bold, gritty, unputdownable

This reading guide aims to be a beginner to advanced composition of books within the genre of women/gender (+ LGBTQ -/ basically anything that doesn’t center the experiences of cis-men).

Expect to find titles including but not limited to the scopes of mental health, wellness/psych, disability, & illness in the Global South, and critical/BI-POC voices from the West. Enjoy, besties!

Emotional, epic, cathartic chaos You seek out books that allow you to feel deeply, empathize wholly ans journey through life's emotional extremes.

sometimes forgetting is for the best, but sometimes it definitely isnt and we really need to find out what happened.

I love a lot of books, but not all of them make the list of books I actually recommend to everyone. These are all time top recs that I think everyone should read.

books about witches that follow a very specific naming convention; complete the list to meet every kind of witch!

it's all about the ✨ aesthetic ✨
