Writing that's sharp and biting, or writing that's lyrically astounding. Is there a touch of magic? A heap? Yes, I want it.
And I want all of it to be BIPOC and/or queer.
Editor
I'd really love to laugh, like a book about a bunch of aunties the rest of the community thinks are well past their prime--and I want to see them as full, gossipy, pushy people; what do they want? (And we return to BANDIT QUEENS!)
Editor
I want a mystery that characters wish they hadn't solved. A mystery that isn't about the mystery, really, at all, but about the people--the kind of ending that feels inevitable, like putting these people in that room at once--well, nothing else could have happened.
Editor
give me Heathcliff, give me the lover that has so misunderstood what love is that they perform deeds that leave them bloody. Give me a love that has soured and make me yearn for it anyways. I want more hauntings, more ghost stories.
Give me Practical Magic, I'm begging you.

I finished THE BANDIT QUEENS by @PariniShroff recently and CANNOT stop thinking about it. The hilarity! The murders! the whip-smart writing! The women, my god, these WOMEN. plus! a really good dog! I have never wanted to be a bonobo more 💕

"academic rivals to lovers" BUT THEY'RE SOLVING A MYSTERY TOGETHER & REFUSE TO CALL EACH OTHER ANYTHING OTHER THAN THEIR LAST NAMES UNTIL THEY ENDURE A DANGEROUS LIFE-THREATENING EXPERIENCE TOGETHER & CALL ONE ANOTHER BY THEIR FIRST NAMES FOR THE FIRST TIME BC OF THE ADRENALINE?!…do I have to say it? #mswl

I want a sultry romance you know not a spicy romance but like a season 2 Bridgerton all-about-the-near-touch romance BIPOC set perhaps extremely specifically in dark academia maybe the stakes are super high maybe it's P&P meets Ninth House idk I haven't thought about it that muchplz #MSWL

Deserted Places @desertedpix
Abandoned 13th century château located in France. pic.twitter.com/jjlU5XAXJGI guess my #mswl is just a love story between birds and literally anything about abandoned buildings.
