Adult Thrillers: I recently found a LOVE for this and am craving to read more. I love a dark academia setting, serial killers, stalkers, locked in a room/home. I love not being able to figure something out until the end, give me unexpected twists and turns, keep me guessing! 12/
Adult/YA Horror: It takes a lot to scare me, so hit me with your best shot! I want to be terrified so that I can't sleep. I want sentient settings, scares that mess with your mind, where the lines of reality are blurred...10/
Adult/YA Sci Fi: The more science the better! Extrapolations on current science/tech is my jam. I would also love a story set in space/space station, or set after an apocalypse....8/
Adult/YA Fantasy: I am aching for cozy fantasy, low stakes feel good stories. Fresh twists on vampires and werewolves are also on my list! Magical food or music, yes please send it! If you can comp a Studio Ghibli title 👀 I also love genre blends like sci fantasy ... 6/

Is there anything better than picking the 📚 you'll bring on a long ✈️? I'm 👀🔎 for page turners that make 6 hour flights feel like 2, transformative non fiction, 🤣 romances, tearjerkers😭, heart breakers💔 open to genre, fiction/nonfiction adult #MSWL#WritingCommunity
This is such a random #MSWL , because I'm currently watching a Brown Thrasher enjoy my bird bath outside my office window. But if anyone has a book that deals with bird watchers in any form, let me know! Romance, fantasy, adult, kidlit, I just love birds. 🐦🐦⬛
I made some tiny updates to my #MSWL to reflect a few more things I'm excited to see (and maybe remove a few things that haven't been working for me). If you comp What Happened in Skinner, please query me!! litagentmara.com/mswl/
