I love ROMANCE obviously so send me your swoony kissy stories (queer ones too)! But also send me books about best friends, and fiercely loving siblings, and all sorts of relationships.

I should mention that, while I’m still closed to general subs, if you’ve got what I’m looking for in an #MSWL, I would LOVE to see it by email! Like
aforementioned Black f/f period drama or romance set during the Harlem Renaissance, for instance 😏

I am actively building my list right now. I’m looking for high concept contemporary romances, moving middle grade novels, and thrillers that feel teen #mswl

Really hungry for some good contemporary romances right now. Romcom, serious, tortured, preferably with a slow burn romance. ♥️

The new book of my dreams is a Brooklyn 99-esque romance with all the things I love about that show (diversity, inclusion, humor, creativity, healthy relationships, etc., etc.) and no actual police work. I NEED IT RIGHT NOW! #MSWL

Hi all, back again with a #MSWL update.

I'd LOVE to get my YA romance list to match my adult romance list. @camilliemill and @chloe_liese have spoiled me rotten with inclusive, swoony romances.

For YA romance, I want all of the BIPOC rep, disability rep, and LGBTQIA+ rep 😍🤗

I loved everything about Sylvie's Love on @PrimeVideo: the 50s Harlem setting, the music scene, the love story. It's made me eager to find more historical romance/women's fiction featuring BIPOC characters. #MSWL

I would love a Black romance in the vein of Netflix's SOMEONE GREAT X JUST ONE DAY by Gayle Forman...

Someone please pull on my heart strings!

Schitt's Creek is a romance novel.

I should be more transparent: I’d kill to see the adult contemporary romance novel version of Schitt’s Creek in my inbox #MSWL
