Weirdly just found a niche I didnât 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 birthcontrolđ
Witchcraft for Wayward Girls has some of the most graphic childbirth/body horror scenes Iâve ever read đ”âđ«
Oh my goodness, yes!
I feel like Nightbitch by Rachel Yoder might fit this list!
I second that.
Iâll add it!
This concept is great! May I suggest âTrad Wifeâ by Saratoga Shaeffer?
Added!!
omg this is amazing !! i feel like trumpets of jericho by Unica Zurn might be perfect for this
Oooo I havenât 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 enjoyđ€
Me a mom Lmaooo and loving the title of the list đđđđđ
Lmaoooo thank you!!
Iâm 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.
Youâd probably like âThe Pushâ 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. phewđźâđš
