MG fantasy or sci-fi that’s gloriously imaginative, and introduces me to a world I want to dive right into. #MSWL

Time for more #MSWL! In terms of categories, I am really hungry for MG. Stand-alone or series, classic-feeling or not, contemporary or historical, mystery, fantasy, sci-fi, adventure - I’d like to see more MG!

As I said, open to all genres, but some I particularly love are fantasy and mystery. Humor is frequently a key element of the books I fall in love with. #MSWL

Last week I tweeted a couple things I'm looking for. A refresher: a dark, creepy Fantasy for older MG readers – I love Joan Aiken, Franny Billingsley, Holly Black, Francis Hardinge, Laini Taylor. If you’re writing like this, I want to read! #MSWL

YA, MG and PB projects that are feminist in nature. #MSWL

Fantasy that uses American folklore – Johnny Appleseed, Paul Bunyan etc – as part of its DNA. #MSWL

In terms of genre, my favorites (in no particular order) are: mystery, fantasy, sci-fi, hist-fic. I love a genre mash-up. #MSWL

I'm particularly interested in YA that's about the nature of female friendships. Contemporary, but other genres too - fantasy esp. #MSWL
