I can’t put this down. I’ll finish tonight. Talk about a woman who has gone feral. I hate the brother-in-law. Any other takes?

I know they don’t have much in common, but I love Rachel Harrison, Elena Ferrante and Joyce Carol Oates. Could go back to their novels again and again.

Who are your favourite authors?

been on the hold list for my library since june

Just finished A Good Person. Picked these up at the library, wondering which to read next? Going into them pretty blind!

Hello, lovelies!

These are just a sample of the books I've read after seeing them on this subreddit.

I would love to know which others y'all would recommend based on my ratings.

Thank you so much in advance <3

Edit: if it helps, my ratings are

1 - Hate
2 - Was fine
3 - liked
4 - really liked
5 - loved

I loved this book, the main character was hilarious. I feel like this fits in with weird girl lit. I need to see more people talk about it! Super short read too. It discusses deeper topics and made me think about the privileges I have as an able-bodied person as well. I highly recommend.

If I see a slightly dark, strange book and it is about 3.6 or 3.75 on Goodreads I just know I’m gonna eat it up.

I tend to find myself really disliking some of the most recently published books that are rated more highly, but something in the high 3 stars range is usually going to be good.

What’s weird is some of the books I list below, I gave 3 stars to when I rated them. But I still found them enjoyable to read? (Some of these are weird girl lit some of these are not). I find that a LOT of weird girl lit falls within this range.

Examples (from my most recently read)
-In the Woods by Tana French (3.78)
-The Lamb by Lucy Rose (3.73)
-incidents Around the House (3.54)
-The Lies we Conjure by Sarah Henning (3.63)
-The Astrology House by Carinn Jade (3.47)
-The Last to Leave the Room by Caitlin Starling (3.53)

I know it’s not weird girl lit, but I feel like I’ve seen it mentioned on this sub a few times. I’m really struggling with it and can’t decide if I should DNF or push through.

Hi! I’m a weird gal and I need good book rec’s for someone who doesn’t love reading but wants to get better at it. I read Lena Dunham’s memoir this summer and loved it. It was weird and great. I haven’t read anything since. Please give me rec’s for a beginner trying to become better at reading!

I have 20+ hours of travel ahead of me and would love any weird girl recs for books with Indian or South Asian characters and/or settings! I’ll specifically be in South India :)

I was playing with an ai bot ( not something I’ve ever done before and was curious ) anyway I put in my Libby search history+ books I’ve read recently+ books I have holds or notification tags on and asked it to consider all this and make a list of recommendations for the Libby app. It took my lists and said I’ll search based on these concepts you seem to enjoy “ Toxic, obsessive relationships and female rage• Body, food, and control• Cults, girl groups, fame, and performance Unreliable narrators, authorship, and metafiction • Queer and gothic domestic horror” I can’t argue with most of these generalizations but the wording makes me sound like I’m the one unhinged. Sorry and this can be deleted if not allowed just thought these characterizations might help others.
