Rec | THE WICKED YEARS BOOK SERIES

⭐

you’re probably familiar with Wicked, but the whole series is quite good. whimsical, strange, and often too freaky for comfort LOL

A series of unfortunate events (the book series)

first read these when i was in elementary school. i’m on the last book now of my early-20s reread. the writing is clever and emotional. i’m just shocked by how much depth and language play is contained in these—things i surely missed in my first read. i recommend reading or rereading these at any age!

I’ve posted about this before but lolita

to understand pedophiles’ sick little games and know my enemy because I was already suspicious and wary due to having been raised on a diet of Lifetime movies by my paranoiac women’s studies professor mother. Also: * Siddhartha by Herman Hesse * every Stephen King book I could get my hands on * random bad murder mysteries by James Patterson/Phillip Margolin (his books made me want to be a lawye)/Jonathan Kellerman (his books made me want to be a psychologist…) or whatever * The Mediator series — weird YA romance series written by Meg Cabot author of The Princess Diaries about a psychic girl who falls in love with a Spanish 19th century ghost and investigates murders? * Blue is for Nightmares — generic series about yet another teenage psychic who is also a witch and she uses her powers to investigate murders at her boarding school * The Seance by Joan Lowery Nixon — girl goes missing at a seance lol * House of Night — wow this YA vampire series sure is bad * The Sitter — bizarre and twisted young adult book by RL Stine * The Face on the Milk Carton — YA thriller series about a girl who sees her own face on a missing children’s graphic on a milk carton and begins to believe she may have been kidnapped by her parents * Princess Ai — manga series by Courtney Love lmao * NOT TWILIGHT (jk I totally read and loved Twilight)

One Dark Window/Two twisted crowns

With your interest in whimsy and YA fiction I would highly recommend Shepherd King Duology by Rachel Gillig. I flew through these books they were so engaging and had a really interesting magic system and a plot that doesn’t follow the standard “chosen one” you see in a lot of fantasy.
