As far as my #mswl goes, right now I’m looking for mostly character-driven YA with a killer voice featuring one or more of these things:

-intersectional feminist and environmentally conscious themes
-activism
-LGBTQIA+ characters (esp. trans, bisexual, and asexual youth)
(3/5)

- YA historical featuring a lesser known historical period or experience
- YA sci fi that blends genres to share human stories through a fresh lens
- Narratives told in unique formats, such as nonlinear, epistolary, etc. (5/6)

- Other diverse experiences, such as neurodiversity, mental illness, physical disabilities, chronic illness, or non-nuclear/“found” families
- Compulsively page-turning YA thriller with deep emotional engagement
- Immersive YA high fantasy that’s dark, twisty, and queer AF (4/6)

I’m on the hunt for well-crafted YA and MG! Here’s some things I like/am looking for:
- “Out of the box”/quirky narratives
- YA contemporary
- Stories with feminist themes (esp an intersectional framework. Bonus points for teen activism!) (2/6)
