[fancifulimpression]

My additions would be:
- The Honeys by Ryan La Sala
- Goddess of Filth by V. Castro

[booknerd]

The list I did not know I need. I think I will check out House of Hollow and Patricia wants to Cuddle. BTW, can you please make a list about horror/thriller books with queer characters?

[ReadingWithEve]

What a great video idea :) Now I want to read all of these (read only House of Hollow and loved it so guessing weird is right up my alley)

[astoldbymaddie]

omg such a great rec video! I totally relate to weird barbie. 🤣
all of these books are now on my TBR

[rebeccawalter]

Absolutely in love with this video idea!!

[leslienope]

I just saw the movie yesterday and loved it! These are great recs. 😁 also, I'm not 100% sure if you're wearing lipstick or it it's just your shirt bringing out the natural color, but either way, the point is you look nice!

[grimr.]

Could you do book recs for an Allan? 😂

[crazyforbooksandcoffee]

Love this video ❤ House of Hollow is a great read

[andrev]

Nightbitch by Rachel Hoder and Motherthing by Ainslie Hogarth are two that fit this prompt. Weird, bizarre horror-adjacent takes on marriage and femininity.

[Zangerstein]

I plan to watch within this week! Never played Barbie (just not into girly stuff since age 1 😂).
The creator’s story and their societal stance, I do love, specially now with all the craziness.

[shaleyflowers]

LMAO okay I thought I was the only one that was looking up book recommendations for the Barbie movie one of them did kind of match but it's a very sad weird book and it's called a force of such beauty you should definitely check that book out when you get a chance I think you'll like it

[sarahdavies]

Love this! Desmond Zee put out a similar video that I think you would enjoy

[nonfictionfeminist]

Omg amazing idea! Barbie was a great movie, Oppenheimer not so much

[lauramichelle]

I loved the movie so much. And love that Mattel is selling the sweatshirt Ken has at the end😂

[AmyPitts]

Hahahaha I cannot wait ti see this movie. I actually was so nice to my Barbies and I had millions. My girls though 😮 I was horrified. These were great reqs
