The number one item on my wish list right now is upmarket and literary fiction. Contemporary or speculative. Anything strange, weird, or depressing is for me. #MSWL

Let’s start with literary fiction, because that’s what I’m the most eager to read as 2023 begins. Contemporary voices, unusual storytelling structures, complicated platonic and romantic relationships, upmarket genre novels. I want beautiful prose with a splashy concept. #MSWL

A dark, unusual fairytale retelling for YA & an immersive, literary fantasy for MG. #askPSLA #MSWL

For adult, I want magic realism or literary fiction w/ a touch of genre: Night Film, Night Circus, Of Bees & Mist, Golem & the Jinni. #MSWL

Books that play with narrative structure or incorporate different mediums (art, photography, illustrations, etc.). #MSWL #YA #MG #LF

Literary fiction that reinvents historical events, people, or places (ex: Studio Saint-Ex, Kavalier & Clay, Painted Girls). #MSWL #LF #HF

I'm always looking for literary fiction with a touch of genre (ex: Night Circus, Golem & the Jinni, Night Film). #MSWL #LF
