On my #MSWL, contemporary middle grade books about boys and friendship. Boys care and worry about and love their friends, but there aren’t enough books that tackle those emotions and experiences.

On my #mswl, books that foster empathy and compassion, that empower and inspire, that raise awareness, and show kids that there is magic and beauty in our world.

All this talk about witch hunts makes me want a contemporary YA with a witch hunt. #mswl

Note: I prefer agented submissions. #mswl

In light of walls & bans, I have made it my mission in 2017 to acquire books that raise awareness & foster empathy & compassion. #mswl

Also, I am dying for some amazing fantasy. #mswl

I've got a lot of YA submissions to read right now, which is good, but I'm really, really eager for some literary middle grade reads. #mswl
