Currently I’m hungry for: speculative adult fiction a la TJ Klune or Matt Haig, quirky mystery a la THE MAID, YA in a locked location (boarding school, summer camp), a romcom that truly makes me laugh out loud. In general I am looking for YA (of any/all subgenres), contemporary romance, book club and women’s fiction, speculative fiction, untold historical tales, and a bit of suspense/thriller (if it’s got a great hook!). My favorite books can be read in one sitting, and will make me laugh out loud or cry on the subway–or both! I love anything with lists/letters/texts/media embedded into the story, hints of magic, or subplots that get woven together in unexpected (but seamless) ways. I am particularly drawn to family or sister stories, imaginative re-tellings, stories with a food or travel element, and anything to do with theater. I’m not a match for: romantic suspense, eco-thrillers, international political plots, picture books, poetry, novels in verse, or courtroom procedurals.
