I would love a book set on an island where people are killed off one-by-one (ala AND THEN THERE WERE NONE). #MSWL

I'd love some gorgeously vivid magical realism, preferably set in the past or in a foreign land (or both). #MSWL

I want books where the tension in the story stems from the relationships between the characters, not something external like a bomb. #MSWL

I love books right on the borderline between commercial and literary. A tension-filled plot w/ rich characters. #MSWL

I want fresh prescriptive nonfiction w/ a great platform. Business books, health books, self-help books, etc. #MSWL

I want narrative nonfiction about an abstract topic, like fear, rain, cake, or narrative NF that tells a story about a time & place. #MSWL

I want memoirs that put me right in the author's shoes, whether they're devastating or hilarious. #MSWL

I want satirical stories, whether they're laugh out loud funny or quietly clever. #MSWL

A novel about something culturally relevant right now, like Black Lives Matter, NC's bathroom bill, women's access to abortion, etc. #MSWL

I like stories that destroy gender stereotypes. #MSWL

I love stories about the intricacies of family relationships with a dark bent, like WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT KEVIN. #MSWL

I'd love a new take on old story with a multicultural or LGBT (or both) protagonist. #WNDB #MSWL

I want psychological literary horror starring real people in semi-realistic situations. No slasher stories or monsters for me, thanks. #MSWL

I want YA with an authentic voice, whether it's contemporary, mystery, historical, literary, commercial, sad or funny. #MSWL

I want gorgeously detailed voice-driven books in all genres (except maybe sci-fi, fantasy, romance & paranormal). #MSWL

I love mysteries/thrillers where the protagonist has memory problems, like BEFORE I GO TO SLEEP, TURN OF MIND & MEMENTO (the movie). #MSWL

I love all kinds of mysteries: police procedurals, cozies, psychological thrillers, historical mysteries, literary mysteries. #MSWL

I'd also love to see a cozy mystery with a LGBT protagonist. #MSWL

I'd love to see a literary police procedural in the vein of Tana French. #MSWL

I read an article a while back about American Muslim teenage girls lured into a Jihadist group. I would love to see YA about that. #MSWL
