And on the other end of the spectrum I'm looking for page-turners, (not near-future) dystopias, locked room thrillers, dark academia, high stakes, rule driven stories that make you FURIOUS if someone interrupts you. (Queer preferred) romance is a nice to have not necessary.

Started getting back into The Apothecary Diaries for season 2 and rn all I'm craving is a witty/intelligent MC who is into poisons/apothecary with elements of folk horror & a delicious slow-burn court/royal romance. #MSWL

I’m looking for immersive settings, a strong love story, & a high-concept plot. Give me adventure, humor, and swoon-worthy romance—whether it’s a daring quest, a fairy tale reimagining, or a kingdom on the brink of change. I want magic, unforgettable characters, and a romance that feels epic. #MSWL

Give me haunted malls, sleepover massacres, urban legends coming to life, or slasher villains with a flair for the dramatic. I want addictive, cinematic storytelling w/ fun twists, quippy dialogue, & maybe even a touch of swoony romance. Bonus points for a sapphic lead #MSWL

Hi, Cheyenne again! Adding to my really specific #MSWL projects:

- Sports romance that centers the love of the sport (and the found family element) just as much as the romance

- a horror book with dinos. please. (think Jurassic Park 3 with more politics.)

For #MSWL day, I'm adding a few specifics to my usual wish list. Right now I'm really looking for something to sweep me away and make me forget about what's going on in the world for a few hours. Something hopeful, nuanced, and immersive, with strong female characters in book club or romance.

In graphic novels, I'd love to see the next contemporary swoony YA or adult romance/romcom, as well as stories set in the workplace or internships. On the NF side, I'd love to see more illustrated how-to books for kids in my inbox. #MSWL

One of my dream #MSWL books is a horror novel set in a cave -- think The Descent for books. Claustrophobic, dark, encroaching madness...bonus points for historical setting, an ambiguous ending, or a queer romance subplot. Antarctica horror would be cool too I guess 💁‍♀️
