While #ownvoices and #diversebooks have caught on in YA, I'm still struggling to see it in adult and, frankly, that's what I want more of. #MSWL My target genres right now are: literary & upmarket fiction, mystery, suspense, thriller, & women's fiction.

I read a book where a female cop wakes up next to her partner. I was so disappointed when her partner was male. Give me the mystery/suspense with the lesbian cop living her life. #MSWL

In general, my #MSWL includes mystery, suspense, thriller, women's fiction, upmarket & literary fiction. I want more #ownvoices in all things and more #diversebooks #thursdaythoughts

Always seeking domestic suspense or psych suspense--would love mother/child stories, LGBTQ stories, stories other than husband/wife would be my preference right now #MSWL

I'm still looking for domestic suspense, but am tired of the husband/wife scenario. I'd like one featuring a mother and child or a friendship. #askagent #MSWL

Books set in towns/cities down on their luck. Towns that once thrived on an industry that now isn't thriving--cotton, tobacco, auto industry, factories, mining, etc. #MSWL --suspense, mystery, women's fiction or otherReturning home to finally confront and solve an old murder--either the protagonist has returned home or someone close to the protagonist. #MSWL

I really like books about moms and cannot believe I really don't have books about moms. Women's fiction or domestic suspense #MSWL

I'm always looking for domestic suspense, especially something #ownvoices & family-related (not just husband and wife) #MSWL

And I'd like more women's fiction or domestic suspense about mom relationships. Relationships between women and their own mothers or relationships between mothers. #MSWL

Lately, my inbox has been missing good solid suspense, maybe without the thriller aspect. #MSWL

I'm still also looking for domestic suspense. I'd love to see something family-oriented. Not just husband/wife, but maybe there are kids involved. #MSWL
