#MSWL Mysticism around place or object of intrigue—abandoned building, keys, mysterious garden, map, old books, forgotten door, secret well

Please give me a character as clever at Tryion Lannister, as bad as Brienne, with a relatable AF motivation, but may be morally grey. #MSWL

I really love ambitious, far-reaching novels with a strong sense of place. Think CITY ON FIRE, or A BRIEF HISTORY OF SEVEN KILLINGS #MSWL

Said it before & I'll say it again: I want the struggle of MY BIG FAT GREEK WEDDING but for any culture. Immigrant stories are needed #MSWL

Seeking fresh new voices/perspectives underrepresented in literature. Show me the world in a way I'd never discover on my own. #MSWL

Romcom and diverse romcom. Where is my adult When Dimple Met Rishi. #MSWL

Looking at my shelves and I realize I love fantasy with little to no magic. #MSWL

#MSWL PBs: wordless picture book.

A Southern gothic fantasy or thriller. for #YA #MSWL

A fun, murder mystery for YA, ala Meg Cabot's SIZE 12 IS NOT FAT. #MSWL

#MSWL ghost stories that are kind of creepy and scary.

Bad boyfriends: the one who breaks your heart in the moment, but does you a favor in the long run. (Extra points for ugly sexy.) #YA #MSWL

Historical fiction or mystery, upmarket or literary fiction #ownvoices #mswl twitter.com/nycsouthpaw/st…

#MSWL that has to do with puberty and how it can effect girls and their relationships with friends.

I want MG girls who care a lot about... Something. Sports, theater, science, etc. I would get obsessed. #mswl

Witches. Where are my witches. Especially dark, twisty, light vs dark like the Craft #MSWL

I want chars with mental I'll show or no neurotypical who DON'T kill themselves. Tired of this beautiful suicide trope. #mswl

Fraught mother-daughter relationships. #YA #MSWL

Also in YA and WF Magical Realism #ownvoices and a touch of magic a la Alice Hoffman. #MSWL

I want fantasy (ya or adult) about a woman leading a country or empire. How does she do it? How does she overcome those who doubt her? #mswl
