To start, at the moment I am only looking for MG, YA, and adult commercial and upmarket fiction. I’ll list the genres for each in the thread below. Unfortunately, I’m not the right person for adult literary fiction or nonfic, and (for now) I’m not actively looking for PBs.Across the board (MG, YA, and adult), I’m drawn to:
-stories with a strong family element, whether that’s biological or found family
-protagonists who aren’t the best at whatever they do or The Chosen One, but who try really *really* hard, even when they screw up

Adult Rom-Coms. Something fun and funny would make me really ridiculously happy. #MSWL

#MSWL I'm a major mythology nut, so I'd love re-imagined/re-interpreted myths from any culture, for either YA or Adult
