Some specific #MSWL cravings I’ve had these days for my YA list:

-high-concept post apocalyptic
-a romantic gothic/horror mystery
-beautiful, voicey trans/genderqueer anything
-yearning/longing vibes
-enemies/rivals to lovers
-twisted romance
-dark academia in a non-European setting

On horror romance specifically, it can be tragic, no HEA necessary but for all other forms I need an HEA. For sci-fi: I want Event Horizon, political intrigue and first contact (but in the way Arrival did it)

For romantasy: no more high fae, I have a full list! Give me more dramoine, Lumoine (iykyk), monster romance, angels (biblically accurate or otherwise), ghosts, paranormal Y2K vibes. Still I plead for orc romance, please someone send me some.

Monsters, historical, trans and POC horror, horror romance, space survival. Onto fantasy: give me epic, political, sweeping and expansive. Murder mysteries at court, backstabbing gentry, fantasy of manners…

And all the way up to Crossover and #NA - more of the same! College level stories. Cosy, epic, heartwarming romance.

I’d love a dark academia New Adult/Adult spicy Romance. Think a Doechii-like persona as a romantic lead. LGBTQ is (clearly) a bonus. #MSWL

I also would really love something really romantic for young adult readers, particularly with those swoony, first romantic encounters for readers not quite ready for the spicy, full-on stuff! #MSWL

Not just office romance—Jessica wants workplace fiction with real stakes. Power struggles, high-pressure environments, complications that cut deep. Give her tension, drama, and narrative gold. #MSWL

My YA Romance #MSWL

I like my couples with a touch of enemies to lovers, shared trauma, and/or some cuteness :3

Dark romance? Like…real dark? Yes. Spicy sports romance? Extra points if it’s unhinged.
If your book has tension that makes people feral, Jess wants it. #MSWL

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
