I am DYING to find a diverse ensemble cast series that could comp shows like One Tree Hill, The O.C., or 90210 in my inbox.
Super specific #MSWL I know, but damn I loved those shows with their gossip, romance, friendship, and family.
This is the first time I am open to Picture Books! I am selectively looking for: whimsical and funny stories, especially those that showcase diversity. Family and friendship themes are my favorite. It's a plus if you are an author/illustrator, but not a must.
馃尣Kids who are activists and engage in their community to invoke change
馃敧Vengeful and angry main characters
馃槅Humor with heart
馃ФClose-knit family stories with underlying tensions
馃椌Big, sweeping adventures
馃拃Dark and gritty horror full of tension
馃悤Rescue dogs
馃槏Emotion
#MSWL I鈥檓 DESPERATELY NEEDING a YA or adult romance where a sweet couple falls in love鈥攏o insta love. I want to see their journey, whether it鈥檚 f/f, m/m, f/m...love is love. I just want 鉂わ笍 and laughter and kindness with lots of friends and family and community.
3. I want to hear from marginalized authors who have a story to tell that isn't just considered an "issue book". Give me culture and family and love.
4. Give me characters I want to root for and in the end, there's a HEA.
