#MSWL subterranean horror. If you have it, I really do want it. Please send that to me at any time via email. Catacombs/ sewers/ tunnels, if it's dark, claustrophobic, and you are not alone, I want it.

Just sneaking on here with a #mswl My favourite books of this year have been Babel, The Atlas Six and Middlegame, so I would love to find something with a serious magical and academic vibe. So if you have something like this, please do consider sending it my way. Thank you.

#MSWL in action/adventure or thriller please.

If you have something like this along the lines of James Rollins books, please email me at any point.

#mswl when I open to queries in a few weeks I’d be interested in a romcom action/ adventure. Especially if it involves treasure and islands or jungles. I’m not officially open to romcoms so query me under the action/ adventure category and mention this mswl in the query.

Deep sea horror/ cryptids will always be on my list though. If you have something like that query me at anytime #mswl

Just to add that my dream result here would be a James Rollins or Matthew Reilly style series.

But I would like to repeat that I am NOT a good fit for cheating or abuse. There are books with those topics that I can work on but as I do not know in advance what they will be, I ask that no one assumes for me.

1. I will open for a month only. (By doing it in controlled bursts I can make sure it doesn't overwhelm me).

2. Genres. I will be only opening to a few genres:

Action & Adventure (adult)

Thriller/ mystery: Adult and YA.

Fantasy YA.

Fantasy Romance Adult and YA.

Why is my #mswl your #mswl You've just mentioned two of my favourite books.

One more #mswl I am a sucker for undiscovered worlds on dangerous species underground in cave systems. Properly obsessed.

Willow is awesome. I love a good quest in fantasy.

This is definitely a #mswl

#mswl I am really into my gothic horror at the moment. Especially if you can comp Crimson Peak, Nothing but Blackened Teeth, or Dracula.

#mswl always anything set at sea.

#mswl a horror or thriller set on an oil rig.

This vibe is a definite #mswl

It gives Maleficent/ Charlize Theron in Snow White and the Huntsman vibes and I am here for them. Give me a fantasy from the POV of an evil queen where the beautiful princess is just annoying and does not win the hearts of the people/ love interest.

#MSWL Still would love a book featuring a volcano/ natural disasters.

Would also accept secret underground volcanic lairs. With or without sharks in pools. With is better though. (But this may be a bit too specific).

#MSWL something like the Goonies for the YA market. (Yes, I am watching it as we speak).

#mswl I would like books set in snowy places. Give me your Alaskan and Siberian landscapes. Set books in Canada. And give me the Arctic and Antarctic. Please!!!!

#mswl please.

#mswl haunted ghost ships!!!!
