Want more big books in your life? The Big Book Project with Lori Feathers is a multi-venue reading experience for lovers of long, rich, and complex novels. It's based on the idea that reading need not be a solitary activity—especially with long, dense works of fiction, in which there's so much to discuss.

The next big read on the schedule is DUCKS, NEWBURYPORT by Lucy Ellman. Pick up your copy before this Monday, July 13th, and check out the reading schedule to get ready!

Need more "weird girl literature" in your life? These are some of our favourite strange, independent books involving odd, unpleasant, and unusual women:

LOVE NOVEL by Ivana Sajko, translated by Mima Simić, is about love in late capitalism, featuring an unnamed man and woman in a marriage grown toxic and resentful.

MAY OUR JOY ENDURE by Laura-Ève Lambert, translated by Donald Winkler, is a shrewd critique of wealth and urban gentrification, following Céline Wachowski, an ultra-privileged celebrity architect.

A GHOST IN THE THROAT by Doireann Ní Ghríofa is a genre-bending book about the author’s obsession with an 18th-century noblewoman who composed the legendary Irish poem "Caoineadh Airt Uí Laoghaire" after the brutal murder of her husband.

ZOLITUDE by Paige Cooper is a blend of slipstream fiction and surrealism that explores the alienation of modern women through 14 stories featuring both the fantastical and the mundane.
