Okay, I never go into a Greek myth story and expect it to be happy... but wow. I shed FLOODS of tears reading this. A brilliant, dark, gripping book about the forgotten women of the Trojan war. It's a dark read, but definitely worth it. I LOVE books that retell myths! #MSWL

Ummm ditto. I want these things. #mswl

Briefly popping back in to say that I'm still looking for contemporary w/LGBTQIA+ characters! Same goes for the rest of the list, but I'm especially in the mood for contemporary right now. Really looking for strong voice w/a compelling internal conflict. #MSWL

I am looking for thrillers and crime fiction of all types; book club fiction that moves me and makes me think; great historical fiction (including novels featuring fantasy/mythology). In non-fiction, books which work on an emotional level and let me in on the conversation. #mswl

this means love stories ♥️, horror 👻, contemporary, scifi 🤖, speculative, & more!!

RRP is known for mythology & magic, & while those remain the pillars this imprint is built on, id love to see stories that explore culture & identity in new & unexpected ways (3/6)

#mswl
