how would you describe this genre of books because I love it: the Secret History, A Little Life, Brideshead Revisited, Special Topics In Calamity Physics. Books about beautiful smart pretentious way-too-close school friends who are surrounded by sexual tension, money, and death?

This genre is 🙌 and a perpetual #MSWL

- more books set outside the US/UK that isn't told through the white foreigner's lens plz >.>
- more grumpy older heroine who don't want kids
- grumpy/cheery pairings where heroine is grumpy one
- interracial romance where none of the MCs are white 🤷🏽‍♀️

I would love stories with adventurous heroines (like Amelia Peabody, Veronica Speedwell, Lady Trent) but with WOC and more sexy times! Doesn’t need to be historical or m/f. #RomBkLove twitter.com/anacoqui/statu…

I'd love to see a duo of switched at birth stories with the characters finding out as adults. And the discovery leading to them each finding love matches. Either inspirational romantic suspense or contemporary romance. #mswl

Are podcasts eligible for @PulitzerPrizes? @cbcpodcasts Finding Cleo by @connie_walker should absolutely win one.

Writers/agents: MG or YA mystery from a #firstnations author is definitely on my #mswl. #ownvoices @PocPub @diversebooks

Looking at my inbox, wishing it had a fun picture book centering an Asian child. And some without gender roles/stereotypes. And maybe one with ballet. Just thinking in two minutes before a meeting. #mswl

Listen guys. I don’t know much about graphic novels (yet) but I DO know a graphic novel set in Cuba would be 💯 #MSWL

A brief review of #TheHauntingofHillHouse:

BF: I'm so thirsty but I'm too scared to go get a glass of water. Will you go with me?
Me: Drink your spit.

~Fin~

Related #mswl: Give me a ghost story that breaks my heart while scaring my socks off. Part of why #TheHauntingofHillHouse is deeply terrifying is because we care so much about the Crains.

I kind of want to see a contemporary romance submission that involves no children but a lot of puppies instead. Maybe a litter of adorableness brings the hero and heroine together. #MSWL
