It's been a while since I've done a #MSWL and I try not to b/c honestly, sometimes I don't know what I want until I see it - but I know some of y'all find these useful so here goes...

In Adult SFF #MSWL I'm partial to:
- Fresh twists & unique concepts
- I love all kinds: dystopia, post apoc, space opera, high fantasy, low, magical realism, urban, etc - but it HAS to be different than what's already out there.
- Mash ups and new takes most welcome

Hubs just pitched me a book at dinner: #Mswl a Frankenstein prequel about the Monster as a serial killer PRE-RESURRECTION and then through the procedure. I'd request to read that so fast your bolts would spin.
