For MG: literary stand-alone realistic with a girl protagonist, coming-of-age, funny/smart/hopeful/sad. #mswl

I'd love to see a literary police procedural in the vein of Tana French. #MSWL

My #MSWL is always right here on the ol' tumblr but I'll join in the fun later today! alexarnoldeditor.tumblr.com/wishlist

Coming-of-age novels rooted in big plots & high stakes (i.e. Age of Miracles, Yonahlosee Riding Camp For Girls, The Fever, After Her) #mswl

I love contrasts--highbrow sentences, lowbrow content; beautiful settings, ugly motives; the tragic, the euphoric. #MSWL

Twisty crime fic always welcome in my inbox. Like Ruth Ware, LIsa Lutz's The Passenger, Gillian Flynn, Paula Hawkins #MSWL

Love stories that are heavy in plot, often historical could be contemporary (i.e. One Day, Me Before You, Maybe In Another Life) #mswl

The Devil Wears Prada meets Covert Affairs. #MSWL

I don't sign a lot of MG, but for an idea of what I like: ARTEMIS FOWL, The Bartimaeus trilogy, FLY BY NIGHT by Francis Hardinge #MSWL

Give me the character who starts out with everything against him/her/them--who then triumphs in a way that makes me want to cheer. #MSWL

Smart, empowering contemporary realistic stories with well-written commercial voices. #MSWL

Historical novel where the rich plot & important setting work together (i.e. Nightingale, Arcadia, Girl You Left Behind, Astonish Me) #MSWL

I'd love to read a YA thriller with magic realism. #MSWL

The next Graceling, YA as dense and weird as Grasshopper Jungle, romantic meets occult a la The Raven Cycle #mswl

#MSWL Also, YA Gothic Horror. I'm basically Catherine Morland.

On my vast #MSWL: strong female protagonists. Maybe even ones who are single despite having "found themselves"! And more mysteries please :)

Fraught, complex, non-nuclear family drama. Also 6+ members. (The Nest, This Is Where I Leave You, Seating Arrangements, The Arrivals) #mswl

I would love a British(-style) police procedural w/strong female copper at the helm. #MSWL

I miss MTV's Daria. Bring me a character like her, but with more power. Perhaps a super power. But one that's understated and snarky. #MSWL
