#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

Werewolf and vampire romances because I've been feeling super nostalgic lately and it's almost spooky season. #MSWL

“Unique, genre-blending romance novels. For example, I wish I had worked on The Plus One by Sarah Archer or any of Roselle Lim’s breathtaking romantic contemporary fantasy novels. Give me an adult rom-com in space, or with magic. Let’s get weird and swoony.” @ericsmithrocks #MSWL

I'd like to see historical mysteries/crime novels, and historical romances. I'm always keen on the gothic and the hidden corners of history. #mswl

Please can someone make a version of the “you meet and fall in love with a pop star” contemporary romance novel but with a takurazuka actress pls and thank you #MSWL

I want a book series like X-files but with romance. It can be fantasy instead of sci-fi or a mix. If you have this SEND IT TO ME please. QueryManager.com/LisaGreenQueri… #MSWL
