I'm in my dark fiction era! #MSWL

Give me all the horror (!!), mysteries, & thrillers, especially highlighting marginalized POVs (BIPOC, disabled, LGBTQIA+, & all the intersections). I've been so fortunate to read some for fun & for work, but I'm still feeling insatiable!

New year, time to share a new #MSWL thread of things I’d love to see this year.

I am actively looking for: Adult, YA & MG.

And I am eager to support commercial and high stakes stories featuring BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, disability, and neurodiversity representation.

Hi all, back again with a #MSWL update.

I'd LOVE to get my YA romance list to match my adult romance list. @camilliemill and @chloe_liese have spoiled me rotten with inclusive, swoony romances.

For YA romance, I want all of the BIPOC rep, disability rep, and LGBTQIA+ rep 😍🤗

ROM COMS OR CONTEMPORARY ROMANCE. Let’s make it queer, inclusive, diverse. If fans of Talia Hibbert, Helen Hoang, Alexis Daria, or Casey McQuiston would read it—I want it!

OK, so I just updated my #MSWL.

And just as a warning, y'all....it's long.

I'm not sure if it is more or less helpful now...

OK.... #MSWL
I really want a swoony but also laugh-out-loud, millennial rom-com. Let's add some awkward Tinder/OKC dates leading to the inevitable meet-cute.
Maybe queer? 😇🏳️‍🌈
