#MSWL I'm really in the mood for anything that's character driven, thematically driven, with clever and smart protagonists in intriguing situations, a bit complex and political, where every word on the page has a purpose.

I'm very open to #diversity of every kind. It's such a given in my house (with gay kids), and my sales list is very diverse, so I didn't really think about specifying that. I'm sorry for any confusion.

And for me, enjoying a book generally means there are strong thematic elements. Lastly, I appreciate it when heavier themes are balanced with humor and thoughtful turns of phrase. Make me feel!

Adult:
Upmarket, commercial/literary fiction, book-club fiction, magical realism, rom-com/women’s fiction crossover, historical, mysteries that are fun and light with a genre blend, science fiction (whether five-minutes-in-the-future or epic), fantasy, and romantasy.

#YA I always enjoy a little romance as the A or B plot, however, I lean into the B plot romance more (romance not required).
Plots that create tension and surprise me with unexpected twists.
Vivid and atmospheric settings.

#MG Commercial hooks, literary voice. Unique characters, smart characters who mistakes but learn and overcome their primary flaw. MG voice a must.

#PB Timeless picture books, especially w/ a new format or approach. Unexplored topics, new perspectives, exceptional writing, true-to-life characters. Kid-facing, non-didactic, empowering, authentic, award-worthy.
Also fun, quirky, and funny picture books!

I love it when a book goes in a direction I don’t expect (which is very rare) but ends up feeling meant-to-be and incredibly satisfying.

Basically DITTO to her entire #MSWL
...when I reopen of course. Which might happen sooner than later because this thread makes me want to see what else is out there!

Second this! #mswl

Hatchet was one of my favs as a kid. It made me feel small and powerful at the same time, appreciate the wide world, the dangers and the possibilities, and opened my eyes to so much more out there and inside myself.
#MSWL forever
And now there's a memoir...
I can't wait!

Long but worth the read!
