I love unapologetic and emotional love stories, preferably with a fresh take on an interesting hook or setting. I love stories with a speculative twist or a quirky setting. Marginalized groups, specifically Black, Indigenous, disabled, neurodivergent characters in all gender pairings, please!

I love a good noir voice, and am always on the lookout for speculative takes on mystery romance (Twin Peaks meets The Big Sleep). If I'm not reading romance I'm reading horror and weird fiction: some recent faves include We Love You, Bunny, The Starving Saints, and The Salt Grows Heavy.

I'm a huge fan of stories with speculative elements that don't necessarily have to be explained, and I'm a sucker for books about yearning, where I am desperate for the characters to finally get their HEA (think This Is How You Lose the Time War or C.L. Polk's Even Though I Knew the End).
