I’m late to #MSWL day but: still desperately seeking a rom-com to sweep me off my feet (& onto a cushioned window seat, where I will read all day!). If your take on the genre is fresh & funny & swoony enough to make me forget everything on my calendar, then please submit to me!
Forced birth in a country with:
—No universal healthcare
—No universal childcare
—No paid family & medical leave
—One of the highest rates of maternal mortality among rich nations
This isn't about "life." It's about control.
More #MSWL: A rich, commercial summer story set in a traditionally Black beach community like Highland Beach, Maryland, Idlewild, Michigan, or Oak Bluffs, Mass
More #MSWL: a novel like COUNTERFEIT -- entertaining, glittery, and satisfying on the level of plot-heavy, page-turning caper or romp, but also delivering on serious themes, exploring questions of race, identity, and consumerism
Still more #MSWL: a modern take on BBC classic Upstairs, Downstairs -- featuring relationships and tension between door staff of an urban apartment building and tenants, exploring class, race, and wealth disparity
More #MSWL: Historical fiction centered on witches (and/or including magical elements), featuring well-researched, authentic period detail. I'd love a story in this space that borrows from actual events and re-imagines them in an original way
New #MSWL: Historical fiction like POSSESSION -- with nerdy academics and "original" source research at the core, but also, sexy, exciting, and tension-filled. Always a fan of hist. fic. that has a race-against-time element.
@allidhellegers Boooooo! You poor kiddo. Sending you all the hugs (and brainstorming some other get well goodies with your niece and nephew). We collectively demand that you please stop breaking yourself. 😕❤️❤️❤️

“We recognize that at-home tests no longer exist except for five seconds on Walmart’s website before vanishing. With this in mind, our school nurse has approved the use of a Q-tip with six droplets of vodka splashed onto an egg carton instead.” 😂😭🤯 https://t.co/Q9Kyi57g9f
France is mandating work from home starting on January 3rd. The Netherlands is on lockdown, and so is most of the UK due to omicron. But here in the US we're throwing the doors open to just about everything. It's going to be quite a January.
