This was really one of those books that’s a thriller and deals with *super heavy* themes and has very tense moments but the overall tone didn’t feel too dark (for me)?? Truly the exact kind of story I love/look for. Like I just had such a good time!

#mswl

!!!

Agents: So what’re you looking for these days?

Me:
#mswl

Now how do I get on the side of Twitter that gushes profusely about CHARMING AS A VERB by @gohomeben on the regular ??? Bc how does it not come up more??

(YA contemp, Black love (both darkskin), Black boy MC, no Black trauma focus??? Yeahhh it’s giving #mswl !!)

I have such a very specific #mswl request that I might just IP it.

The gist:

-Poly romance
-Black love/Black characters (w/o touching on racism….I know…)
-HBCU setting
-Vibes of “Fearless” (TV), “Jump then Fall” (TV), “Today was a Fairytale” (TV)

Had to make some tweaks to my #mswl page because a few updates on what I’m looking for + more books I’ve read and adored (also all my accounts are AMARI AND THE NIGHT BROTHERS stan accounts and the world should know that)

“Magical HBCU”
#mswl

THIS.

I also wouldn’t mind it in YA book form👀 #mswl

I still have not found my FLUFFY, YEARNING AND TENSION-FILLED, LIGHTHEARTED YA contemporary romance 🥺🥺🥺.

PLEASE LET THIS BE THE YEAR😭😭#mswl

MC: *frantically looking for something in their room*

Alex: *sends message that MC left it in the kitchen*

MC: *grateful but refuses to show it* ALEX! Aren’t you supposed to NOT interfere???

Alex: What’s the point of watching you struggle??😭

Humor all around #MSWL

MC talking to themself or someone else: I’d really love to get ____

Agent: *helpfully sends links to sites that sell it*

MC: LEAVE. ME. ALONE. ALEX. Or I’ll expose you!

Agent: I’m just trying to help 🥺🥺

Genuine friendship eventually ensues. They meet in person someday #MSWL

Okay hear me out....YA novel w/ MC who somehow meets the FBI agent (or whatever group) assigned to monitor/watch MC (like how we all have one) and hilarity ensues. Agent is just trying to be helpful (like whenever MC is looking for something) and MC just so annoyed? #MSWL

I’m in like full “I need escapism” mode right now (& I’m really privileged to be able to check out sometimes). Desperately need someone to send me a fluffy and lighthearted YA contemp romance. Plot can be anything, as long as it has YEARNING and TENSION🥺 #mswl

Oh to get a lighthearted YA contemp romance that is SO FILLED W/ *ROMANTIC SLOW-BURNING TENSION* that it makes ME want to spend the rest of my days in a secluded forest singing to the stars every night of my ~yearning~ until I’m 1 with the trees

Or something like that.

#MSWL

Pssst *looks around and whispers*

My #mswl profile is now live (!!!)....do with this link (manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/foyi… ) what you will....

Okay byeeeee!

Love triangle but in an unexpected twist, instead of MC choosing one out of two really great options, they end up in a polyamorous relationship with both or in a thrupple and they all live happily ever after 👀 #mswl

Please send me your poly romances! 😍 #mswl

I tweeted about this again months later (twitter.com/oyinatiomi/sta…) and I’m still very much intrigued by this concept! #mswl

Putting this out there in the world again:

(Please make my “edit-a-book-with-the-WONDERFUL-plus-FUN-wordplay-and-whimsy-of-Alice-in-Wonderland” dreams come trueeeee (even if it’s YA)!!😭😭😭) #MSWL

I never thought I’d want anything to do with #TheCanterburyTales once I graduated but now I feel like a YA contemp/fantasy novel (loosely) inspired by/based on it (like structurally) could be really cool???

Guess after having it in 4+ classes, the brainwashing worked...
