Some more random #MSWL wants...

LGBTQIA+ books written by LGBTQIA+ authors, especially in the romance department

Historical fiction with a fun twist from under represented voices of the time

More WF that's actually about women supporting women in healthy ways

For adults, I'm on the hunt for hooky commercial fiction and women's fiction, especially with a focus on friendship; thoughtful speculative fiction; swoon-worthy romantic comedies and paranormal romance; and a few accessible, grounded fantasy, romantasy, horror, and science fiction novels. #MSWL

For women's driven/book club fiction, I am looking for stories of hope, inspiration, and emotion. Give me the family drama and the MCs that have allll the baggage to work through. Found family storylines are grabbing my attention lately.

For adult fiction only (since these genres don't apply to children's): 4. Bookclub/women’s fiction: Voice-driven, high-concept novels across these categories. 5. Romance: Upmarket romance with a great one-line pitch. Happy with spice.
