And in honor of #MSWL day, I have to revisit this confession: twitter.com/LaurenAbramo/s…Remembered another #MSWL: #ownvoices MG/YA/adult w/ disabled MCs, including novels where disability isn't the focus, esp intersectional.

Would love more voice-driven intersectional nonfiction on contemporary society (think Rabia Chaudry, Ijeoma Oluo, or Dylan Marron). #MSWLFor my whole #MSWL, eager for #ownvoices stories about marginalized communities AND authors from marginalized communities (OV or not).

I will never not be a sucker for novels about friendship, from MG to YA to adult. Also romances with strong friend groups. #MSWLRomance novels with heroes and/or heroines of color, especially #ownvoices. #MSWL
