#booktube #bookcommunity #ukbooktubers
if you know me, you know literary fiction by and about women - sad women, mad women, unhinged and angry women - is my jam. I thought i'd make you guys a reading list of some of my favourite 'sad girl books' as i've seen a lot of posts, reels and tiktok's about these types of books lately and i just had to share my own faves.
i'm always looking for new interesting female voices to check out, so let me know in the comments if you have any recommendations 😊💗
I hope you enjoy the video, and i'll see you in the next one x

I love thisssss. This genre is one of my favorites to read, but I can't find many people that talk about them. Thank you for giving these recs!! Love your energy by the way((:

I’m so glad you enjoyed it! It’s definitely a sub genre that people either love or hate, but I’m with you in the sense that we don’t see them so much in the book community. I’ll always be up for a book with a weird woman haha. Thanks so much for the support 💖

Thanks for the great recommendations! I can’t wait to read Nightbitch, Eileen and Milk Fed. I’m so happy you mentioned Bunny as it is one of my favourite books!

You’re welcome! I hope you enjoy them when you read them, I think if you liked bunny you’ll love a lot of these strange reads. Bunny is such a great book !

As Good as Dead (third book in The Good Girl’s Guide to Murder series) was so good. Female rage personified!

Oh, the rage and unhinged behaviour is both appropriate and justified. We love to see it 😎🤌 Got me intrigued about Milk Fed, I think there might be a Melissa Broder stan hidden in me somewhere waiting patiently (or sth) 😜 Read Eileen a couple of month ago, the atmosphere was palpable!! So well written imo. Some of these other ones I’ve still to get to though! Thanks for the run-through, girl 🙌😘

We have no choice but the Stan the unhinged 💅 would highly recommend the Eileen movie if you haven’t watched it. I think they adapted it so well! 🫶

Looooved Eileen, Nightb*tch, My Sister the Serial Killer and really enjoyed Luster and Diary of a Void. I am now putting Vladimir, Boy Parts, Motherthing and Bunny waaaaay higher up the TBR. Thanking you. Have been bingeing on your videos this past week. Mildly obsessed… in non creepy stalker way 😂 I think you might enjoy My Husband by Maud Ventura.

So glad you enjoyed a lot of the books I mentioned! I think if you liked them you’ll really be into the others as they have similar themes and characters. Omg don’t, I appreciate this so much 🫶 it means a lot ☺️. Thanks so much for the rec, I’ve seen a few people reading that one so it def peaks my interest *adds to tbr*

Heyy. I am enjoying this video but the music that is playing as you're talking is distracting from all your goodness, which is a shame. Thank you for this gem of a video.

@whatraereads 2 ай бұрын

Thank you for the feedback! I’ll keep this in mind in the future for sure. I like to add music to make it more engaging to watch, but I totally get that it can be distracting and I’ll work on that 😊 you’re feedback is actually helpful so thank you 🫶
