#MSWL Diverse fiction that remains dedicated to the story and to its characters more so than any message or lesson.

#MSWL any Middle Grade that might possibly remind of Karen Foxlee's OPHELIA AND THE MARVELOUS BOY

#MSWL YA speculative fiction / alternate histories! Many of the tweets from @MagicRealismBot! Weird Science and Grand Adventure.

It's #MSWL day so: fantasy that does not include royalty or monarchic structures and isn't steeped in western European history.

#MSWL a YA that makes me feel like I did watching the weeping angel episode of Doctor Who.

Witch-hunts (not necessarily literal), mass hysteria, paranoia. #MSWL #YA #Adult

#MSWL anything that gets me to laugh! KING DORK, WHERE'D YOU GO BERNADETTE and SCARLETT EPSTEIN all cracked me up #MG #YA #Adult

#MSWL Magical Realism with strong plotting. Think PRACTICAL MAGIC or GARDEN SPELLS or 100 YEARS OF SOLITUDE #YA #Adult

#MSWL literary coming-of-age with a great hook. #adult #YA

#MSWL a creepy gothic or southern gothic or near ghost story a la WINTER PEOPLE in #MG #Adult #YA

#MSWL #MG or #YA I'd love a voicey, literary novel where the setting and/or time is almost a character.

#MSWL a book in which the protagonist's most profound, rich, developed, joyous relationship is with a best friend and NOT a love interest.

Do you all remember Kevin-G from MEAN GIRLS? I want a girl version of Kevin G as my protagonist. Forever. #MSWL

#MSWL I'd love a YA Female protag. into Science, Math, Engineering, etc. I see a lot of music, art, fashion, film & baking. More #MATHLETES
