#MSWL

DIVERSE LOVE STORIES, ROM COMS, & ROM DRAMS! 💖💖i need to see more teens of color falling in love and embarrassing themselves with a grand gesture. i want more proms and first dates and fake dating and childhood-best-friends-to-enemies-to-lovers stories 💖💖#mswl

What's called “Women’s Fiction” but really, any marginalized gender MC with a personal journey as an A plot and romance as a B plot (if it's there at all) akin to SUCH A FUN AGE, BIG SUMMER, LUSTER, HOLLY BANKS FULL OF ANGST #MSWL

I’ll to add to this that I’d *love* more adult romance and romcoms with non-binary MC’s and love interests, HUGE #MSWL

Onto adult! Romance across categories/romcoms, particularly queer and/or BIPOC. Anthing comped to Alyssa Cole, Olivia Waite, Cat Sebastian, Georgia Beers, Beverly Jenkins, Rebekah Weatherspoon, Talia Hibbert, Alexandria Bellefleur, Rosie Danan, Roselle Lim, Alisha Rai... #MSWL

Queer YA genre fiction of any kind. Fantasy, Mystery, Thriller (I didn't know I liked thrillers, but SURRENDER YOUR SONS got me this year), Sci-fi, Romance, Historical, Horror (as long as it's not too grisly; think Hill House, not Halloween). Most especially from QBIPOC #MSWL

Romantic threads!! In!!! EVERYTHING!!! EVEN BETTER IF IT’S QUEER (seriously y’all I love me some intense yearning/pining make me want to shake the book and scream GOD DAMMIT KISS ALREADY)

Always #mswl

I don't know whether it's the season, or just 2020 in general, but I am craving a warm and wise and magical witchy story right now, brimming with sisterhood and secrets (historical or contemporary). Bonus points if it has a compelling romance! #MSWL

#MSWL = romance with a dash of awkward.

Her: I love animals
Him: I work with animals
Her: Are you a vet?
Him: No, I’m a butcher.

Today's #MSWL is a heist story. Young adult (like SIX OF CROWS) or adult (like MONEY HEIST), or even MG (for which I can't think of an example)—I want to see the mastermind behind the planning, the action, the drama, the romance that blossoms with danger around every turn!

Have I told you lately I want Romance? 😬 Please send me your romance.

Re-upping this #mswl from a couple of years ago. I'd still love to see a historical romance set at Idlewild.

I'm on the first episode of Dash & Lily, and I NEED more YA romance novels like this. #MSWL

I'm not open to queries right now but if you have a book like this let me know. I might make an exception. 😏
