Another #mswl I've been wanting to find forEVER is a genre-blended YA sci-fi/horror akin to Alien (or even The Thing I think would count). Atmospheric, not super tech heavy, isolated, far from home, trapped with an extraterrestrial horror. Those kinda vibes.

I would also love to find something that takes a big swing and lands it, especially in YA. Epic but accessible, character-driven but with lyrical or evocative writing. As an example,
@Tiff_Liao

Random YA #MSWL: Something like the Carol & Barb origin flashback from Orange is the New Black but with more details about what drove them to become teen killers.

Since itβs a new year and I'm starting to (finally) catch up on fulls, I thought I'd tweet out a list of qualities Iβm looking for in the books I take on, with some examples of faves that fit those categories. Unless otherwise stated, all of these apply to YA + MG only. π§΅Happy #MSWL Day! Hereβs mine again:

If somebody wanted to write an Utena-style pseudo-contemporary diverse fantasy with sword-fighting, butch and femme queer girls, and colorful, floral imagery, and then have their agent sub it to me, I wouldn't be upset. I'm just sayin'. #MSWL pic.twitter.com/SwBm0qMz5YThis is still #MSWL!

I was just thinking about the scene in Goonies where they knock over the water cooler and find the hidden door in the fireplace. I would love to find a book that has that same level of adventure. +Booby traps! +Voice! +Diverse rep -Problematic jokes and stereotypes. #MSWL

I would love to find a teen girl super spy/action adventure. Something that can be pitched as Kim Possible meets Kingsman. Or in the vein of Kiki Strike (which I havenβt read, admittedly). #MSWL
