I missed participating in the @bookendslit #MSWL Day round up due to meetings, but behold my #MSWL anyway... (1/5)

James is seeking upmarket/book club fiction, mystery, suspense and thrillers. Some things he is drawn to in a novel are commercial, high-concept plots, exciting settings, fast pacing, a fresh spin on a familiar trope, grounded speculative elements, rich prose (2/5) #MSWL

It's #MSWL Day... 📜

In Adult I'm now open to SFF, so I'd love to see lush world building, morally grey MC's & lovable villains 🖤

Time Travel where it compliments a much bigger plot 🪐

I'm still on the look out for a psychological thriller with an unreliable narrator 🎭

As for children’s, I’m always open to YA in almost all genres, especially fantasy, contemporary, and thriller. I just want strong concepts and smart MCs with engaging voices that pull me along for the ride and make me want to root for them the entire way. #MSWL
