I want hooky adult commercial romance so, so much (THE HATING GAME, THE WEDDING DATE, etc.) If it’s body inclusive, even better! #MSWL

I love rom-com women's fiction for my personal reading, so I'd love some on my list. #MSWL

I don't often say this, but I'm in the mood for a big, fresh, lush, overwhelming fantasy. I want to be swept off my goddamn feet. #MSWL

I want a gay thing about gay adults who are relatively well-adjusted and aren't dying, that is wistful, hopeful, fun. I realize history and present circumstance don't quite allow for that but it'd be nice. A MOONLIGHT that's all that meal, or GOD'S OWN COUNTRY: THE TOGETHER YEARSHell yes #MSWL

One of my weird obsessions is Wicked Tuna, a show about tuna fishermen. I’d love a novel about a career that is essentially a whole community lifestyle. See, eg. farming, fishing, etc. #MSWLThis could be especially interesting in YA, if a kid either wants to join the family business or break free from it... #MSWL

"It’s like suddenly, a kid’s able to start to comprehend the Holocaust, and that becomes the only story we give them."I don't want to decrease the number of Holocaust books. I want to increase the number of OTHER Jewish books we're giving children, both Jewish and not.

I know the market is tight with franchises and they're almost impossible to place, but goddamnit I love an espionage thriller. I want one. #MSWL

Body positivity in YA or WF, with a character who actually *likes* exercise! We exist!! #MSWL

After a bit of brainstorming with @maria_ribas, I'd love to see some "women behaving badly" fiction. Give me your Miranda Priestly, your Cersei Lannister, your Bellatrix Lestrange. #MSWL

Maybe some *funny* historical fiction? That's a thing, right? #MSWL
