Been watching POKER FACE and MURDER SHE WROTE and really feeling #MSWL BIPOC amateur investigating. Because, damn, we could use better representation in this space! Loved Jane Pek's THE VERIFIERS, for example.

#mswl — my goal for 2023 is to sign a suspense novel written by a BIPOC author. We need more of your books on shelves.

Things I love across the board:
🌟Stories inspired by mythology, folklore, and legends
🌟Magical schools

Right now, my list is fairly PB heavy and fantasy heavy, and I'd love to find more in other categories I rep. I'm still looking for PB and fantasy, but I have fewer slots in my list to take on new projects in these areas.

I rep PB, MG, YA, GN, and select A genres. I keep my MSWL fairly up-to-date. There are a few areas that I'd love to build my list our more robustly in the coming months. #MSWL

I want to be haunted by a book reading experience: to squee as the characters go through drama (love a good dramatic, well earned fight) and to not be able to shake the characters from my brain. #MSWL

Finally, what tropes make my heart go pitter and patter:
-enemies to lovers
-mutual pining (maybe mixed with enemies to lovers?)
-slow burn
-dark/sunny
-starcrossed lovers and love triangles (Team Jacob for the win!)

Also might be controversial, I want post high school (summer before college, or the first "year" of college) type stories. But since not every kid goes to college, I want to see how the come of age by leaving childhood behind.
Looking for YA themes though, not "baby adult" #MSWL
