Right now I really want to see more soft fantasy. Soft characters, soft world, soft magic. If the story had a physical shape, it would be plushie. #MSWL

I love quiet magic, MG fantasy that showcases small wonders rather than earth-shaking feats. #MSWL

Some things I will forever have a soft spot for:
-cinnamon roll protagonists who try SO HARD 馃槶
-quiet moments of heartbreak that sneak up on you
-found families
-fake dating
-strange, eerie magic
-beautiful, haunting writing

15) Light Adult fantasy. Show that thinks don鈥檛 get less magical after childhood. Comps like Practical Magic, Garden Spells, and The Night Circus. #MSWL

5) Send me your quiet, lyrical magic. Your tales of discovery and wonder. Give me a MG bedtime story that paints my dreams. #MSWL
