#MSWL A few specific things I'd love to see: lady knights! Time loops! (I loved THE ISLE IN THE SILVER SEA by Tasha Suri) Historical detectives, like Sherlock Holmes or Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries, but with queer girls. Painterly graphic novels that still have a punchy hook.

#MSWL I am primarily eager for queer stories! Please please send me your queer books! If there is sapphic yearning, particularly in any of the genres I'm most interested in, why is it not in my inbox already?? There also remains a lack of trans girl stories in kidlit, I'd love to see some!

#MSWL some more specific thoughts:

-All the queer books. Please & thank you.
-Is it sapphic? Is there yearning?? Why do I not have it already?!? (Bonus points if historical.)
-Do you have something where fanfic is a big part of the plot? Yes please!
-Time travel or time loops? Sounds fun, I'm in!
