Still looking for a bunch of YA things: a story about female best friends; a macabre fairy tale retelling; a great mystery; a cute gay or lesbian love story. #MSWL

I'd love more books that can be described as feminist fairy tales--most likely set now, in a world mostly like ours, with a touch of wish fulfillment magic. #MSWL

@HerringAli Ah, this was an abandoned back burner idea of mine. Might bring it back into the light knowing it's a thing and people are looking for it 🙃This is definitely a thing I'm looking for. Clean like a fairytale but with all the feels. Like how I felt watching Ever After #MSWL

@inthesestones @Sara_Brookes Is LGBTQ retellings of non-standard fairy tales still on your list? B/c I want to read those too.Always on my list for erotic romance! Even standard fairy tales, too. (M/M Beauty and the Beast or Rumpelstiltskin come to mind...) #MSWL

Or take a page from Queen: She's a Killer Queen...Dynamite with a laser beam. That kind of princess. #MSWLBasically, don’t give me European fairy tale princesses. I want the fantasy of being a princess livened up and pushed ahead. #MSWL

I love the Brontes, Austen, fairytales, and mythology retellings. But you can surprise me with different retelling. #MSWL

#mswl I reread Fire & Hemlock recently and I'm still in the mood for complex fairy tale adaptations—hit me up!

#MSWL For retellings, I want to have to dig deep to recognize the inner fairy tale. Make it unique and twisty and DIFFERENT

#mswl MG a la PAN'S LABYRINTH--layered fairytale that doesn't flinch from reality, finds the light in the darkness. Fascist stomping a plus.

I want a voice driven MG that has a great hook. #MSWLI love fairytale retellings, but I tend to swing more literary on these. Donna Jo Napoli, Gail Carson Levin, Robin McKinley #MSWL
