3. In adult novels: women’s, literary, historical, and book club fiction. Give me fresh premises, people being badass in real/believable settings, and anything that helps me see real life in a new way.

a lot more Upmarket Women's Fiction/Book Club Fiction and Adult Mystery/Thriller from queer folks and BIPOC women

Begging for books that both have Something to Say and are extremely addictive/fun/compulsive. (I have many books like this, but this is as close to an agent brand as I have) #mswl

For #MSWL day, I'm adding a few specifics to my usual wish list. Right now I'm really looking for something to sweep me away and make me forget about what's going on in the world for a few hours. Something hopeful, nuanced, and immersive, with strong female characters in book club or romance.

Happy #MSWL Day! 🎉 Here are a couple specifics I’d love to see:

-Adult horror based on intriguing historical events (e.g. The Donner Party in Alma Katsu’s THE HUNGER)
-High concept adult fiction with a speculative thread for the book club space
-Fantasy in spooky settings

In book club fiction: I also want to cry when it comes to this genre (am I ok) but also love heartwarming stories, especially those that center around unique experiences. Books about family, friendship, etc that can speak to larger themes.
