Inspired by a few videos I’ve seen on BookTok.
I’ll go first with my pick: Into the Drowning Deep by Mira Grant.
This was soooo hyped everywhere I looked. Reddit, Tiktok, Instagram… The plot looked promising and I was told to expect building tension and full-blown horror! Instead I got bad prose, rushed plot, too many characters with boring backstories, and no horror. I’m still bitter tbh and although other reviews say Grant’s other works are better, I’m unsure whether to even try. I just wanted scary mermaids. 🥲

Okay so we all know weird girl lit right? At least glancingly you’ve experienced the ever expanding genre that this seems to be. Don’t get me wrong, I like it. I think it’s interesting and introspective and allows us to see a different side of women then are often explored in media. With that being said, is there weird boy lit? Can the defining characteristics of weird girl books be translated like that? If there is, what books define weird boy lit, and are there differences besides gender that separate the two hypothetical genres.
Bonus Question: Weird enby lit?

I came into this story knowing nothing about the Mahabharata. I enjoyed the story and the author’s writing and it did make me more interested in the original epic. After talking to some friends and reading some reviews from people who are much familiar with the original versions of the epic, it has left me more disappointed in the story and what it could have been. I don’t want to get into too much detail since I am not an expert on the Mahabharata or Indian history and culture, but if you’re interested in how those things tie into the story, this Goodreads Review has a lot of interesting info and analysis!
