At the top of my #MSWL this year: AMBITION. I'm looking for books that take big swings at big feelings and bigger questions, with writing that makes me stop in my tracks and whisper, holy $%!*. Let's do this, 2020.

SAME. I would love to find big, ambitious YA and MG -- whether contemporary, fantasy, historical, you name it! #MSWL

HELLO, STARRED REVIEW FROM PUBLISHERS WEEKLY 😱😱😱

"...Weymouth infuses her characters with a rich panoply of emotions set against wartime England. A shining thread of hope and healing mitigates the book’s heartbreak and underlying trauma..."

This book sounds great (and perfect for fans of @EBain)! Definitely anything like this is on my #mswl for this fall! Historical with a magical twist? Yes, please!

In other news, Bletchley Park (place of WW2 codebreaking) is a very well-curated & fascinating place. pic.twitter.com/0BxsVWBXtE

#mswl - YA or MG with codebreaking! Perhaps historical, perhaps realistic, perhaps sci-if/fantasy.

#mswl - In terms of MG, I'd especially love to find contemporary & historical, magical realism, & stories that feel very classic & timeless!

#mswl - strange and magical MG & YA. Contemporary or historical where the magical feeling comes from how the protagonist sees the world.

#mswl - heartfelt MG mysteries -- contemp realistic, historical, supernatural/ghostly mysteries, anything -- with great pacing & characters.

#MSWL - I'd love to find a literary historical novel, MG, YA or adult. A great YA romance or adult sibling story with a historical backdrop.
