"Time periods I like to read about: 1920s-present day. I don't read a lot of historical fiction older than that (like FOUR WINDS, OUR WOMAN IN MOSCOW, and Beatriz Williams in general)." @carlywatters #MSWL

"Psychological dramas are high on my wish-list, as are high-concept thrillers that keep me guessing. My favorite titles defy expectations and subvert stereotypes."

"On the lookout for cozy fantasy in the vein of LEGENDS AND LATTES and EMILY WILDE'S ENCYCLOPAEDIA OF FAERIES. I would love a Ghibli-esque book that deals with big emotions and themes in a cozy setting."

"I’d love to see more revenge stories. It could be a scorned lover, a group of friends avenging someone's death, a sister story, or anything similar. If your character is in their villain era, send it my way!"

"I want novels about dysfunctional families. Extra bonus points if they're wealthy (think HBO's Succession) because, let's face it, reading about rich people in trouble is fun. Super extra bonus points if there's an immigrant angle."
