Founded by a Muslim woman – Fatima al-Fihri, the University of Al Qarawiyyin (founded as a madrasa-mosque complex) in Fez, Morocco, opened its doors in 859. It is the oldest university in the world which is still operational. pic.twitter.com/3txg7El2CX

#MSWL Would totally love a novel with the light spirit and sweet heart of "Set It Up" (Reader, I watched it). Maybe something not set in NYC, but another city with a young professional class, where the setting could be part of the story.

I’ll be coming through queries this week and I REALLY REALLY REALLY NEED a contemporary please. No rich kids, no white suburbia. Forget the standard girl-meets-boy.

I want the mother/daughter dynamic of EMERGENCY CONTACT. A black/POC Kara Thomas. A raunchier-voiced rom-com #mswl

Send to @kianangu so she can send to me because yes please! :D #mswl

I'm looking for juicy romantic suspense stories that fit the guidelines for Love Inspired Suspense: 55k words, edge of your seat read, inspirational (i.e. no sensuality, cursing, drinking, gore, etc.). I do want high drama, action, danger and a fully-developed romance. #MSWL
