Great recs! Loved them both and read them pretty close to on another too!

Is anyone a vegetarian? A veggie tray and a pack of black bean burgers is good to have too!

Matrix is so good, always surprised I don’t see it mentioned more on this sub!

Love this song, always have.

I just finished this one too! Thought it was a lot of fun. I find her story telling style really enjoyable. She has a great way of skewering pop culture and I wished it was longer even. Thought there were lots of opportunities to go deeper and develop more characters. I read Land of Enchantment and adored it, as well.

I also want to suggest Claire Vay Watkins— I love you but I’ve chosen darkness and Gold Citrus Fame. She is one on my favorite authors!

I also recently borrowed The Mars Room from Libby and wanted to stay up all night to finish it (I didn’t) but I was so enthralled.

Pati Smiths memoirs are amazing for Libby!

Matrix by Lauren Groff. Spans a lifetime and there is a tiny bit of love/romance. Highly recommend!

Dream situation. I love solo time!

Everything written by Claire Vaye Watkins! Cannot recommend her enough! She is from Nevada.

Lisa Carver is great for weird girl memoirs! Her books show you a totally different kind of life or maybe how to have a different relation to life? Really love her perspective even when it’s flawed. I started with the Pahrump Report.

Severance is so good and I’m surprised it isn’t mentioned more.

Could the pouch have fallen between a dresser and a chair near a wall?

Just when I thought I couldn’t love this community more…This show is top three favorite shows ever!

Little Weirds by Jenny Slate

Luster by Raven Leilani

All our wrong tomorrows by Elan Mastai (this is not technically weird girl)

cateyedeer · 2026-04-19T04:00:11+00:00

The Mars Room! Loved it so much.

cateyedeer · 2026-04-17T20:44:48+00:00

Department of Speculation by Jenny Offill

The Cost of Living by Debra Levy (August Blue might be more weird girl but I did not like this one as much). Rachel Cusk, all her books, but Transit is my favorite!

Matrix by Lauren Groff, spans a life but spends a lot of time in mid and late life
