devoured six books on my vacation, and really truly loved them all! But reading Evelyn Waugh’s THE LOVED ONE made me crave a modern story set in a cemetery that isn’t horror (or could have horror elements but isn’t primarily meant to be scary). Putting it out there! #MSWL

One of my fave reads this summer: TELL ME EVERYTHING by @ErikaKrouse . The braiding of two investigations— one a groundbreaking Title IX case, the other into her own past (and her understanding of herself)— is spell-binding. This is the non-fiction I want for my list! #MSWL

rewatched two of my favorite movies over the break & realized they are both set at convents (SISTER ACT & TROUBLE WITH ANGELS) so now I am VERY in the mood to read a nun novel. AGATHA OF LITTLE NEON looks amazing but not out til August! So... #MSWL pls send me your nuns 🙏

Haven’t done a #MSWL in a while, and the truth is my fiction taste is all over the place, BUT here are four novels I have recently loved:

LUSTER
CIRCE
THE ONLY GOOD INDIANS
DEACON KING KONG

If you’re writing anything similar to those, please send it over! 🙏

I’ve been in dolphin withdrawal since my swim with Sherry so have been mainlining dolphin content in all media, including this TED talk, which I’ve watched 7x. If your book— fiction or non— featured dolphins in any way, plz send it to me! #MSWL 🐬 youtu.be/CQ5dRyyHwfM

The first few eps of #marvelousmrsmaisel have put me in the mood for a historical novel set in Paris... BUT I want it to have suspense/mystery elements, and lean literary in style. Universe, halp?! #MSWL

Feeling very hungry for narrative non-fiction these days! Some 2018 non-fiction I have LOVED (but not repped): Educated (duh, who didn't?), All You Can Ever Know, The Personality Brokers, The Real Lolita, I'll Be Gone In The Dark, Dead Girls, I Am I Am I Am. #MSWL

So narrative non-fiction seemed in demand at the Fair, but for some reason I am actually hankering for a fresh concept in pop-science right now! Send ‘em my way! 🤓 #mswl

Just started watching #Mosaic on @HBO and am fascinated by the structure. Would so love to find a novelistic experiment in this vein, exploring "mystery" with bold and risk-taking structural choices. Putting that out in the world! #MSWL

A particularly great list. Can an entire list be my #MSWL ? I need that new Jane Harper novel ASAP. elle.com/culture/books/…

The "Bully" episode of @CriminalShow would make a great novel: community reuniting to exact justice when law enforcement fails. #MSWL
