For YA and MG Historical Fiction, voice is key. World building is key. I am less interested in post 1950s historical , unless it is a history I don't know. #MSWL

The Julia Child birthday celebration reminds me that I would love, LOVE, an adult historical novel about her time working for the OSS. We can probably work the word SHARK into the title and it will sell millions. Thank you. That's a #MSWL from me.

Would do backflips for a smart, funny, dark historical fiction centered on a 1950s or ‘60s beauty pageant #MSWL

Send @BookEndsKim a dark, atmospheric, page-turning #historical -- #YA or #Adult

@wensday95 wants #Historicalfiction with a slight #speculative or #horror bent like Alma Katsu's THE HUNGER or Sarah Perry's THE ESSEX SERPENT
BONUS: she also wants contemp mystery/thriller where setting is integral like Jane Harper's books or Attica Locke's BLUEBIRD, BLUEBIRD.

Oh man, a YA along the lines of W or Goblin would be AMAZING. #MSWL twitter.com/sarahrmccabe/s…A YA historical fantasy would also be fantastic. Faith (aka The Good Doctor) is still one of my favorite kdramas. Secret Healer (aka Mirror of the Witch) is another that I love. Plus, I've been fascinated by the cdrama Tientsin Mystic. So much fun. #MSWL

I know Gary’s really being a jerk here and you should absolutely block him if you hadn’t already, but I absolutely do want to read a transgender teen POC MC enemies-to-lovers historical, can someone write it? pic.twitter.com/5DJa0DypKR#mswl 😏

I'm looking for fiction for kids and teens that relates to issues happening in our world right now: the refugee crisis, the opioid epidemic, the Flint, MI water crisis. #MSWLI love, love, love historical fiction. It has to be gripping and immersive. I'd love something about the post-WII period, esp if set Berlin. #MSWL

Would love a mythical take on PERFUME (Suskind) with paints instead of scents: historical/secondary world fantasy where True Ochre requires the hair of a just man who's never known bitterness, True White the tears of a serpent who's lost her love etc. Art, blood, hunts. #mswlThe cow as white as milk
The cape as red as blood
The hair as yellow as corn
The slipper as pure as gold
