Ok, if you have a book that could be described as A DEADLY EDUCATION meets A MARVELLOUS LIGHT (magicians, possibly magic school, gay, romantic, extremely fun to read), please send it my way ASAP, I am dying for this. #mswl

#MSWL inspired by my fourth (possibly fifth) re-watch of A LITTLE CHAOS: cottagecore / goblincore gardening fantasy with lush historical detail and a sweet little romance

A timely reminder before I log off to walk the dog that I have always wanted ace rep (please for an ace romance!!), and also healthy sex ed in books (would it be YA-4 if they discuss how to properly apply a condom and use a dental dam?). Also teens curse. #MSWL

Sweep me away to a historical period I know nothing about but become instantly obsessed with. Give me intrigue, give me characters for days, take me outside of Western Europe #mswl can be either romance or book club/WF!

Top of my list is juicy contemporary romance. Give me humor, give me tears, and above all give me side friendships as nuanced as the main romance #mswl

Grumpy Roy Kent is my favorite romantic hero energy #MSWL
