Samantha Wekstein is closed to queries @SWekstein

Tomorrow I reopen to queries! So here are a few #MSWL posts for when that happens!

I'd love to see a fantasy rom-com or fantasy comedy. My favorite movie is The Princess Bride after all. #MSWL

Roseanne A. Brown 🌠 @rosiesrambles

we've all worked hard to give enemies-to-lovers the shine it deserves lately but i think we have yet to tap the full potential of lovers-to-enemies and we must fix this

I think my favorite iteration of this is lovers-to-enemies-to-lovers again. #mswl

Ya'll, I watched Pitch this weekend on @Hulu and now I'm so depressed that there isn't a season 2. The stakes! The chemistry! The feminism! It was soooo good. #bringbackpitch

I should also say that I want an adult rom-com in this vein! #MSWL

And I'm still looking for a soccer team book. Would prefer 2-4 main characters who are on the team and POV characters. I'll settle for any sport if soccer isn't available. #MSWL

Sarah Grill @SarahGrill1

Just thinking how much I’d love to get a Jewish YA that is NOT centered on the Holocaust. Give me a Birthright thriller!! A Camp Chi summer romance! A Hillel set-up gone wrong!! And the more food descriptions, the better. Please & thank you #mswl #amediting

I know everyone's been posting about this, but I LOVED Never Have I Ever on Netflix, and if you have a book that's similar, please send it to me. #MSWL
