Angsty YA with messy characters—these are my favorite! I want to see teens make mistakes, learn from them, and move on.

Friendship stories—break up, make up, fall in love…any of the above, any age category. There DOES NOT need to be a romantic element.

I am DYING for a kitchen/restaurant story—aka The Bear, so if you have something unique with this setting…please send it my way.

That being said, I am still on the hunt for a few things so here is a quick #MSWL for those of you who are interested.

"Intense, twisty stories about best friends set against the backdrop of competitive, high-stakes, art-based industries: this is what I live for!"

Here's the image of things I can't shut up about #MSWL:

Babel - R.F. Kuang - I want to smack this book against my face. Anything with grounded speculative element, commentary on our society, writing that punches you right in the head

The Appeal - mixed media, super fun characters, a slow burn with a twist #MSWL

The Maid by Nita Prose - a light and fun mystery, unforgettable main character, great setting

True Biz by Sara Nović - incredible writing, multi-POV, Deaf characters, unputdownable

More Than You'll Ever Know by Katie Gutierrez - multi-POV/multi-timeline, family secrets #MSWL

I'm back with a real #MSWL since opening to queries. I posted a photo of things I can't shut up about last week and that's threaded, but also threaded are some recent and upcoming reads that I loved/am excited about that I wanna see in my inbox.

Would love to see more #NF humorous science books like this in my inbox! #MSWL

I want to hear from a variety of voices and experiences, so let me have 'em!

And, in the oddly specific: I’d really love a book about how amazing dogs are for our mental health and happiness. Could be a memoir? Could be a how to deal with the grief when we lose one of these precious friends. Had to say goodbye to my best girl this summer. Here's my gem:

Books on mothers and daughters and parenting books, in general/

Also, I want books for caregivers of cancer patients (other types of patients, too!). It’s a special role, those caregivers, and they don’t get nearly the support they need/

Anything that is related to #cooking and food stories or #agricultural systems and our #health and #wellness /
