Dark fantasy or magical realism à la Pan’s Labryinth is another love of mine. I’ve been reading the novelization by Guillermo del Toro and Cornelia Funke, and it has that creepy, ethereal feel of magical realism and folklore mixed with a dash of horror. #MSWL Again YA/MG ONLY.

There’s a post circulating tumblr/Facebook asking why so many tween girls go through a witchy “let’s read fortunes and levitate” sleepover/jr. coven phase. I actually talked to an expert about this exact thing two years ago! medium.com/the-establishm…

I would die for a YA/MG along these lines. #MSWL Real magic or just imagined, doesn't matter. I especially like stories that focus on girl friendships/sisterhood.

I'd love to see someone make up new elements for element-control magic rather than use the classical elements. Not sure what they'd be, but it'd be an interesting change of pace. #MSWL

Ooh, this sounds fantastic (in YA/MG). #MSWL

This sounds incredible and I can think of five people I need to preorder it for right now. twitter.com/glitzandshadow…

This is pretty much my #MSWL right now. Gothic YA heroine with magic? Yes please. (Except, an original concept since this one's been done.)

Ooh, @SarahAddisonAll's Peach Keeper is $1.99 on Kindle amzn.to/2tIH3qe & Nook barnesandnoble.com/w/peach-keeper… Magical realism at its finest

#MSWL I'm dying to find great magical realism (YA/MG). One of my fave writers is Sarah Addison Allen, so like her books but for teens.

Magical realism, forever and ever. YA or MG. #MSWL Not sure what that is? I did series of posts explaining it here: michellewittebooks.com/2015/07/what-i…

Magical Realism

As always, I'm dying for lush magical realism—#MG & #YA. If you're not familiar w/the (very specific) subgenre michellewittebooks.com/2015/07/what-i… #MSWL
