Super feminist and body positive MG and YA. #MSWL

Replying to @beth_phelan

Definitely queer POC on my #MSWL. Sweeping, breathtaking, VERY romantic or friendship-focused. Maybe magical.

Oh! #MSWL Can I please get a YA novel where the characters have jobs and a community of coworkers? Think Empire Records.

Uhhhhh this is a great idea. I second this. #MSWL
