I know high school girls can be mean, but I want a contemp YA that shows how important & life-affirming female friendship can be, too #MSWL

A kid-and-her-dog MG novel with depth and complexity, a la BECAUSE OF WINN DIXIE. It's a high bar because I am in love with that book. #MSWL

Looking for a MG that gives me a crazy amount of feelings. I love MG because as a 12 yr old, you're feeling A LOT for the first time...#MSWL
Replying to @alexyarnold

And I think the best MG fiction makes me look at "basic" human emotions (love, grief, loneliness) anew, through the eyes of a kid. #MSWL

LGBTQ historical romance. I want to see a historical period/event from this underrepresented perspective. (Must be well researched!) #MSWL

In life, I have major wanderlust. So in books too, I want to be transported to evocative, authentic settings. #MSWL
Replying to @alexyarnold

Especially love when the setting deeply impacts the plot, mood, themes. I want to imagine the book couldn't be set anywhere else! #MSWL

I would love a feminist-as-hell YA about a coven of witches. I can imagine a bunch of awesome interpretations of this setup. #MSWL
