I want a book that truly messes with your perception of reality. Not just a psychological thriller, but a truly, mind-bending, House of Leaves-type book that blasts away all previous notions of what a book can be #MSWLYes please! (HOUSE OF LEAVES is on my list of favorites btw) #MSWL

On the lookout for the next Tiffany Jackson, Courtney Summers (circa SADIE), and Kara Thomas. Again: queer, kids of color, dark tone, twisty. Can be funny, weird! #mswl

Still looking for my f/f or bi rom-com with an amazing hook! Add a dash of some kind of journey like 13 LITTLE BLUE ENVELOPES and I'm in! #MSWL

Prose to the likes of Nova Ren Suma, Anna-Marie McLemore, Moïra Fowley-Doyle, and Laura Ruby #MSWL

Something with comps that make me pause, such as SHARP OBJECTS meets UNDEAD GIRL GANG (doesn't have to be exactly that, just something that wows and grabs my attention) #MSWL

Some words I'm drawn to in pitches:
Small town, haunting, road trip, island, flowers, graveyard, aerialist, lake, beach/beach house, summer, secret, eerie, key, orchard, food/recipes #MSWL

A novel that uses lighter touches of fantasy to tackle a big issue #MSWL
Dorian Maffei @DorianMaffei · 24 Sep 2019
Stories full of secrets and dark twists like WE WERE LIARS #MSWL

Give me creepy, whether YA or Adult. I'll keep asking for horror until I get it! Less gore and more psychological #MSWL

Happy #MSWL day! I will be tweeting and retweeting some things I'd love to see in my inbox!
Please note that I am always looking to acquire titles by and about marginalized perspectives.

#MSWL I'm looking for nonfiction narratives that blend history, science, and personal experiences/participatory journalism. Think Pollan's How to Change Your Mind or Egan's The Death and Life of the Great Lakes.

And of course I am always, ALWAYS looking for diverse voices, authors, and characters. #mswl

"Make it gay," is essentially my entire #MSWL. 😋

#mswl I'm also looking for #graphicnovels, especially #fantasy. No real specifics I'm looking for here, just surprise me!

In addition to this, my favorite Romance tropes are best friends to lovers; enemies to lovers; we're stuck together and you drive me crazy, but I guess I love you trope; unrequitted lover who finds a better fit trope, and forbidden love that becomes a HEA trope. <3 #MSWL

#mswl I adore romances complicated by secret identities: love triangles or quadrangles with only two actual humans involved, like MIRACULOUS LADYBUG or MR & MRS SMITH! There are so many ways to play this: IRL rivals and unwitting teammates? Lovers unaware they are secret enemies?

Definitely looking for adult romance that has a nice twist. I'm not about romance in all it's tradition, as I usually like something slightly off-kilter. (i.e. @KatieGolding_Tx amazing MotoGP/Rodeo/Western Romance coming at you 2020). Give me something that breaks lines! #MSWL
