For a future book club roundup - how about Books for Crones?

Or, How I stopped having my period and learned to love the bog.

Glad you're here.

Thanks for these and welcome to Substack! Would it be rude to put forward one for older harlots? The Butcher, the Baker, the Candlestick Maker: an Erotic Memoir. https://a.co/d/4FiuTtd

I dressed up as a Fembot for my 10th birthday. It still makes perfect sense to me.

Hi Lena, I love this list so much! Thank you for sharing ❣️ Just a thing, I think the journalist of the Marie Calloway article goes by Scaachi Koul, not Saatchi Khoul :)

So excited to see you loved Mating too!! I stumbled upon it in a Reddit thread yearsssss ago, and it ended up being one of my favorite books to this day. So pretentious and yet somehow relatable too. I cried during the climax and told my uninterested coworkers about it the next day lol.
