If you're not already doing so, come follow me on Instagram: instagram.com/bookendskim/. Now that I'm more caught up, I'll be featuring #mswl posts there beginning next week and just spending more time there in general.

“Ted Lasso”-level character development is forever on my #mswl

And women's fiction/romance with magical realism or a speculative twist, like You Were There Too and In Five Years.

More gothic suspense please! I loved The Au Pair and The Wife Upstairs. #mswl

Would love book club fiction with clever, unique narrative structure like The Final Revival of Opal & Nev, Sadie, and Daisy Jones and the Six. #mswl

I'd like to see more upmarket horror in the vein of Mexican Gothic, The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires and The Return. #mswl

Grumpy Roy Kent is my favorite romantic hero energy #MSWL

My favorite reads/listens this summer & definite #MSWL comps:

THE FINAL REVIVAL OF OPAL & NEV by Dawnie Walton
PEOPLE WE MEET ON VACATION by Emily Henry
YOU WERE THERE TOO by Colleen Oakley

What I learned about myself this week: If anything can convince me to watch a TV show, it's an armpit kiss.

That kind of smolder is always on my #MSWL.

#MSWL alert! I’m always on the hunt for romance and women’s fiction in general but this illustrates what I’m especially hungry for right now. Thanks to @jmcgowanbks for the graphic! Query me at querymanager.com/KimLionetti

And I remain eager to bring more disability and neurodiverse #ownvoices representation to romance, women’s fiction and YA contemporaries. #MSWL

I loved everything about Sylvie's Love on @PrimeVideo: the 50s Harlem setting, the music scene, the love story. It's made me eager to find more historical romance/women's fiction featuring BIPOC characters. #MSWL

I'd like to see something that's a cross between The Haunting of Brynn Wilder and Mexican Gothic. Women's fiction with a lush, gothic setting that's creepy, but doesn't cross quite as far into horror. #MSWL

I grew up watching soap operas, & loved You Had Me at Hola. Would love to see women's fiction based in world of soaps (can be behind the scenes/in front of camera/after leaving spotlight). Something w/ humor and heart but feels authentic & respectful of the industry. #MSWL

I'll be tweeting my #MSWL list in the coming weeks, but in the meantime I've updated my Pinterest board with some of my recent favorites. pinterest.com/klionetti/mswl/

Inbox status: I've responded to all queries sent before today and all submissions sent before December 1st. I'm HUNGRY people! Especially for #ownvoices, romcoms (YA and adult), and women's fiction. #amagenting #mswl
