ok, some non-fiction #mswl!
truth is, i'm a nerd on a futile quest to learn everything, ever, but some topics/areas i often gravitate towards:
-pop culture & what it says about us/the times we're living in
-deep dives into cultural history of <topic/thing>

i was surprised by how much i enjoyed bridgerton s2 because i'm not really into historical fiction so: if it got similar vibes to kathony, both as a couple but also individually, and it's not necessarily historical*?? #mswl
*i might be flexible w like the 20th century lol

i don't know what's going on here but i'm drawn to novels ft a house/setting that maybe possibly wants to kill you/its inhabitants or maybe one that just keeps messing with them. if this is exploring some forgotten history/wrongs/etc?? *chef's kiss* #mswl

halsey's verse in DIE FOR ME. no lie, *i* would die for a novel with those vibes #mswl

happy weekend, y'all! thanks for the warm reception to this 💕now that i've shared all the ~official info and links, join me as i share my #mswl in its purest format: a chaotic twitter thread (while we can still tweet lol), gifs, and tiktoks!!!!! pic.twitter.com/k1vLtlXECe
i've been thinking about it for 2 months so it's only fitting to start here: the scene in wakanda forever where namor says to [redacted] 'let's burn the world together'? i want the version where [redacted] says 'bet' and all the messy *nuanced* consequences that follow!! #mswl

I have just learned about the existence of Kaleidoscope on Netflix and I don’t even need to watch it to say it is going on my #mswl. A heist that plays w structure? Yes yes yes.

No shade to the many brilliant books that address trauma but this year I’d love to have more subs that don’t claim this as their key feature. Playfulness, irreverence, something sweet, sharp, fresh, smart. Please. Or gothic and dark and twisty. Just…a bit less trauma.There you go, that’s my #MSWL - plus crime, lots of crime. Check out my profile to see the kind of things I like to read/am looking for.

Perennial favorite themes: cons, hoaxes, fish out of water, outsiders becoming insiders, upstairs/downstairs themes, family dramas (esp those with a humorous element a la THE NEST or THE MOST FUN WE EVER HAD, though I wouldn't kick a heartbreaker like ASK AGAIN YES out of bed)
Literary Agent
And finally: I'd love a timely upmarket thriller with a ripped from the headlines hook and killer characters. Think ANATOMY OF A SCANDAL or PEOPLE LIKE HER.
Literary Agent
(Please note while I'd love a love story set in the past, particularly if it is of the epic, sweeping variety - I'm not the right agent for historical romance)
Literary Agent
As for historical: I'm always on the lookout for previously untold stories and unheard perspectives, particularly those of forgotten/misunderstood women a la THE PARIS WIFE, WEYWARD, THE CHRISTIE AFFAIR.
Literary Agent
Another gap: I'm missing a thriller that is super high-concept - have you written the next WRONG PLACE, WRONG TIME, END OF STORY, DO NO HARM? 🙋♀️I'm your girl.
