Trad Wife and You Did Nothing Wrong might be great additions to this list!

Ooooo those are on my TBR! I’ll add them!
casually removes any books that were on my tbr that were featured in this list 🫣

😂😂😂😂
Weirdly just found a niche I didn’t realize I had hahahaha. Saving Noah is an excellent choice for this list, kudos for compiling these titles!
Thanks! Shoutout to my bestie Lillie for pointing out I was reading a lot of literary birthcontrol😂
Witchcraft for Wayward Girls has some of the most graphic childbirth/body horror scenes I’ve ever read 😵💫
Oh my goodness, yes!
I feel like Nightbitch by Rachel Yoder might fit this list!
I second that.
I’ll add it!
This concept is great! May I suggest ‘Trad Wife’ by Saratoga Shaeffer?
Added!!
omg this is amazing !! i feel like trumpets of jericho by Unica Zurn might be perfect for this
Oooo I haven’t heard of that one! Let me look into it!
omg yessss you added it !!! it's a fever dream and so so good
Based on the synopsis, it seems like a great fit!
definitely. i'm loving this list, i'll def check out some more of your other picks
Ahhhh! Love that! I hope you enjoy🖤
Me a mom Lmaooo and loving the title of the list 😭😭😂😂😂
Lmaoooo thank you!!
I’m already a mom, but still obsessed with this list! Love reading about the horrors of motherhood/child-rearing in general - gives you rose-colored glasses for your own day-to-day struggles.
You’d probably like “The Push” by Ashley Audrain. That was my first foray into to this type of book and it still haunts me.
I just added The Push to my TBR, what a coincidence!
"dearest" is a good choice for this list. phew😮💨
