Looking for an immersive novel, with either a contemporary, historical or dual timeline. A dose of magic is always welcome but not absolutely necessary. I love stories of strong women doing unexpected things, relationship stories and a love story at the heart of a novel is never a bad idea. #MSWL

More #MSWL : dark romance of all sorts. I love how dark romance is pushing boundaries. Would be happy to see it expand even further.

Mind-bending, true science embedded in a digestible narrative. Funny, Pop Culture approach (everything by Mary Roach), embedded in memoir (Hope Jaren’s “Lab Girl”) or informational fiction for older kids (“A Rover’s Story”). Sub link in profile #NarrativeNon -Fiction #MSWL

It's #MSWL Day!

I would do ANYTHING for an adult or NA romance—contemporary or paranormal—with a love interest who OOZES charm and charisma. I want irresistible flirts! Bring me your Henry Montagues, Ian Flannerys, Jesper Faheys, and Jace Waylands!

Happy #MSWL day! I'm currently acquiring for #HarlequinHeartwarming , a sweet contemporary romance series with a focus on family and community. Heartwarming books don’t have any swearing and they’ve got low levels of violence or sensuality, but they're not inspirational romance.

I've been reading Freida McFadden's The Crash, and would love a look at anything similar to it. #MSWL

I also would love a lesbian thriller that could be comped to Master of the House or Steadman's The Family Game. #MSWL

In Thrillers, I’m still looking for anything that could described as BIPOC Dan Brown. But I’m also generally on the look for a super fast-paced thriller with enormous stakes, anything about a normal person (no law enforcement or military) going against those in power. #MSWL

I’m still looking for a BIPOC vampire horror with social commentary. Anything in the vein of The Wicked and The Willing. #MSWL

I would especially love to find a sapphic romantasy on the fun, smutty side. Think Sierra Simone’s The Fae Queen’s Captive. #MSWL

I prefer my spice on the kinkier side, and I would really love to find a romantasy with consensual, sex-positive, queer-friendly BDSM. Authors with deep knowledge of kink beyond D/s and light dirty talking will definitively have me picking up that manuscript so fast. #MSWL

Anything with a complicated, decades-long (or even centuries long if Fantasy/Paranormal) lesbian situationship at the core of the story. Yes, I’m an Agatha All Along fan. #MSWL

A queer rival-to-lovers sports romance. #MSWL
