Had the privilege of reading SO many great books this year, I thought I'd put together a visual #mswl

These titles are all amazing and I'd love to see something similar!

*forever haunted by the books I didn't get to add to this list*

Specific #MSWL :

A fun, pace-y (maybe humorous) mystery series for MG or YA à la A STUDY IN CHARLOTTE, TROUBLE IS A FRIEND OF MINE, THE FOURTH STALL, Stuart Gibbs’ SPACE CASE or FunJungle books, or an updated Nancy Drew or Trixie Belden (especially Trixie Belden!).

Specific #MSWL :

Stories that involve managing fame/fortune as an emerging adult (could be ensemble cast as in the protagonist is a member of an idol group) & could involve pace-y elements of suspense/romance. Really looking for high concept, not too introspective stuff.

Specific #MSWL :

High concept, fun New Adult books that can start to branch out the emerging category with material that has tones comparable to Ally Carter, Stephanie Tromly, Jenny Han but with storylines for a New Adult audience.

Highly commercial MG books that play with format and have robust storylines: think DIARY OF A WIMPY KID or TAPPER TWINS.

Specific #MSWL :

Shorter books in the MG space (i.e., 250 pages or less): highly commercial, fun, tightly plotted and accessible to reluctant readers w/high concept premises and standout protagonists, especially w/tones like Stuart Gibbs’, Varian Johnson’s, or Geoff Rodkey’s.

Specific #MSWL :

I’d love a snappy, highly commercial YA series with a sticky hook and a memorable/endearing main character; probably contemporary (any subgenre), comparable to what GALLAGHER GIRLS was but with an unrelated premise.

General #MSWL 3:

Very commercial books for New Adult and Adult Gen-Z and Millennial audiences that feature sticky hooks and feel like they’re doing something fun, new, and BIGGER with their genre.

General #MSWL 2:

Select Adult upmarket/literary work that is super high concept and feels fresh and hyper relevant (especially work that explores or intersects family/culture/history à la THE JOY LUCK CLUB).

Highly accessible, super high concept kids’ books in all age bands (especially with an emphasis on throw-back tones/formats but with *new*, unrelated-to-the-older-work premises).
