Those are the main things I can think of right now but I'm always up for weird plots/settings, character driven books, queer rep, dark academia, and speculative elements.

Ensemble casts having to figure stuff out, solve mysteries, or escape danger. Especially in a small town or close knit setting. Think Stranger Things, On My Block, or All of Us are Dead.

YA revenge/burn everything down stories. I absolutely LOVED Do Revenge and would fight for a book that encapsulated the same energy.

Feel good MG that explores growing up and beginning to figure yourself out, whether in a contemporary or fantastical setting. First crushes welcome! Think Owl House, The Art of Running Away, Avatar, Sir Callie, Thanks A Lot Universe, etc.

Heists, heists, and more heists. The bigger the shenanigans, the better. I love to especially see character relationships and arcs being tested/explored as the mission goes on. Think Portrait of Thief, Six of Crows, Bullet Train, etc.

YA romcoms or YA contemporary with romantic elements. Especially if they're queer! Think Heartstopper, Young Royals, You Should See Me in a Crown, I Kissed Shara Wheeler, etc. The cuter and fluffier, the better.

Stories with the entrenched characters arcs, cults, unreliable narrators, eeriness, and survival component of Yellowjackets. I am OBSESSED with this show to say the least and would love to see these elements in the YA thriller/horror space or the adult speculative space.

I will be reopening to queries as of 01/23/23 so I think it's time for a big #MSWL thread. My general wishlist can be found below but I wanted to get into some specifics for the new year as I plan to grow my list.

sam sims @samsims25

Too many Christmas rom-coms, not nearly enough Halloween rom-coms

When I reopen to queries, I would LOVE a Halloween rom-com. Or really anything set with Halloween as the background.

Finally watching Raya and The Last Dragon and I need this in book form asap.

Especially if it's queer.

Reminder that I'm always on the lookout for dark academia books in YA & Adult especially by BIPOC authors!

Anything including a speculative element, solving a mystery, challenging the elitism of higher education, and a close knit group of friends are πŸ‘Œ

Monthly reminder that I'd really love some darker small town dynamic stories especially if they have found family, queer characters, a spooky forest and a light magical element.
