Stories that are piercingly true to their characters, revealing their layers and deepest feelings -- this goes for every category of children's and YA books. #MSWL

In that same vein, I like the idea of a mother fighting through something like that, survival either with children in tow or knowing that she needs to get to her children #MSWL

Do you have a novel or reported nonfiction on the things I can't stop thinking about, like Morgellons, the Tamam Shud case, the Voynich manuscript, Hinterkaifeck, and the Sodder children? Gimme. ESPECIALLY if it's a novel inspired by Jestyn. Please. #MSWL

I would also like to see psychological suspense/thrillers with children, but not YA. I want adult stories of parents or something and children. #MSWL

I just learned that last year my then-five-year-old nephew went up to a man skateboarding in the park and got the man to give him his skateboardHonestly I just want mg about children who lie constantly, are not mean spirited for the most part, and get to keep everything they con you out of. #mswl

There are all kinds of Latinos in the real world, and there should be kinds of Latinos in sf. All of us should be represented, and faithfully so. — Isabel Schechter #FantasticLatinas #NeverthelessShePersisted #WomensHistoryMonth#MSWL: MG SFF, contemporary realism, and historical fiction featuring Latinx kids from Central and South America and/or American kids whose heritage is from those areas. It's a big gap in children's lit and my list specifically.

#MSWL children's chapter books ages 7-9 (with a series in mind), very boy- or girl-centric. For Boys: Maybe something about a boy who considers himself a "Bugologist" & shrinks down to bug size to go on adventures. For girls: A story about a magical doll house that comes to life?

writing for young readers is incredibly hard. i can't imagine a talent more awe-inspiring than the ability to tell stories with imagination and restraint and warmth and grace to children whose lives you have the power to change forever. #mswl

Did you know I was in a multilingual acapella group in college? Well, now you know. #MSWLStories that challenge children to think critically about things without being prescriptive or instructive. #MSWL

Basically I'm still looking for all my old #MSWL requests: Victorian era; evil children; remote places; noir; unreliable narrators, etc.

A couple of #MSWL before I head off to bed for the night: Always at the top of my list is children's nonfiction, MG and YA in particular.
