I don’t see graphic novels on the list but I really want to mention Lore Olympus by Rachel Smythe, which I remember doing great feminist and consent/choice/trauma/autonomy oriented things. I didn’t see this title mentioned (even just as a general myth recommendation, regardless of the list), and think it should be on the radar for myth retelling looking folks!
Additionally, I’d like to mention Otherworldly by FT Lukens, which ties in myths/fairy tales in several ways, but more notably has a Greek Mythology tale show up with an overarching theme with the dynamic between the main characters (I don’t wish to spoil here, by announcing, and spoiling the sort of reveals within the story, but I’m sure a quick google search would answer which myth is in association). I think this tale, at least would be a great addition toy he list as a lighter tale. Also noting: a nonbinary or at least they/them pronoun rep main character, as well as background f/f.
I am also aware: K. Ancrum has written Icarus which remains on my list of queer titles.

Hi all! I'm looking for some recommendations for enjoyment and also for broadening my reading. I have always been fascinated with psychological disorders (BPD, schizophrenia, DID, etc.) and also personally struggle with depression, anxiety, and ADHD.
I'm looking for adult fiction that includes these themes/characters that struggle with their mental health. I see more YA than adult, so hoping there's some out there a little more mature.
I would also love to know of any memoirs or nonfiction that are less self-help and more relating/coping, if that makes sense? I haven't enjoyed self-help that I have read in the past and am less looking for guides than just others' stories and the like. Even better if there's satire while obviously not detracting from the seriousness of these topics.
Thanks so much!

I’m gutted. This book was tragic and devastating 😭 I just finished a reread of the original trilogy and read the prequels for the first time. Between Sunrise and Mockingjay, I’m emotionally exhausted.
